SNES out of them two. I had the super famicom, the japanese version.

Dreamcast is a damn good machine Chris, better than the PS2 in virtually every way IMO, but the Sony marketing machine meant that everyone overlooked it and waited for the PS2. Idiots.

I have 'quite a lot' of dreamcast games if you want any BTW Wink

SNES For me too. Have to agree with you Neal. I've got a dreamcast too. They kicked ass. Dead or Alive 2 and Soul Caliber rocked on that. Between th PS2, Gamecube and Dreamcast, the Dreamcast had the highest spec of the lot by far. Damn Sony with thier "We only have limited Xmas stock" marketing!

Gamecube is technically superior to the Dreamcast. No question.

For the PS2 there was all the marketing hype about the 'Emotion Engine' (yes, in reality just the CPU) and so on which people, being as think as they are, get sucked into. It has less texture memory than the dreamcast, and renders frames at half res and then stretches them up, thats why the graphics on PS2 always look so shite.

The saturn was also a much underrated machine. Games like Nights really showed what it was capable of.

The 64 was ok, I bought the memory upgrade for it to play turok 2 and quake 2 etc on it.
