What was your favortite system of all time including your favorite game, and if you were to buy one of these "Next Gen" consoles, which one would it be?

$250 Wii, one controller, wii sports

$400 Xbox 360, one controller

$600 PS3, one controller

Ill start it off with Sega Genesis, either the game B.O.B., or of course NHL 95'

Add the 8-bit Nintendo w/Power Pad to the list and I'll cast a vote.

Everyone has a soft spot in their heart for Duck Hunt with the blaze orange gun.

To this day, outside of the birth of my daughter and getting to the State Tourney, the biggest thrill of my life was knocking out Mike Tyson in "Mike Tyson's Punch Out" for the first time. :wink:

I still hate Soda Popinski... the southpaw caused me a lot of trouble for some reason.

Looks like the 8-bit NES system should have been added to the choices in the poll, eh? And since we're there, put the Atari 2600 on the list, also :) I still have one of those. The new-age game systems? Meh.

I struggled to master Mr. Sandman more than Soda Popinski. Sandman had those sudden 3 quick jabs that took lots of power away.

I was thinking...when I have kids, should I first introduce them to the 8-bit Nintendo before everything else? Hanging out with friends they will be exposed to new age trendy technology, but in the early years I'd like to start them off right, and have them graduate to new systems every so often, just as I did. I mean look at me, I turned out great. And I owe it all to getting the right gaming systems at the right ages.

LOL! I grew up on Mike Tyson's Punch Out and I still have a NES. I got 23 games for it, too. Bases Loaded and Tecmo Bowl with Walter Payton and Bo Jackson on it are a blast. Double Dragon is good times, too. I would agree with Tom that I struggled with Mr. Sandman and Tyson more than anybody else. As for the poll question, I just bought a PS3 so I'm a little biased towards that.

I'd have to say the 360 is pretty sweet, NHL 07 on their is incredibly fun. Halo 1 & 2 live is insanely fun too.

Nintendo 64 was another one of my favorite systems back in the day. :D
