Which do you prefer? Personally, I prefer the PS1. Final Fantasy, Resident Evil, Oddworld, Crash, MGS, Silent Hill, etc. Which do you prefer though?
Sorry about all the polls guys. I've been pretty sick for the past 2 weeks and this is pretty much the only way I'm feeling up to engaging with the community here.
Hope you feel better man!
PS1 all the way. But that doesn't mean I don't love the N64. It's just that the PSONE is probably my favorite system of all time.
Don't get me wrong, I love the N64. But the PSOne edges it out just a little bit. Back when I was in college and writing game reviews for a newspaper, I only had a N64 and I just wasn't able to review enough games for it. So even though I couldn't afford it, I got a PSOne a couple of years after it came out. That was one of the best purchases I ever made. After that, I was reviewing games for it left and right. Some of my favorites include the Namco Museums, Point Blank series, FF9, Brave Fencer Musashi, Super Puzzle Fighter 2 Turbo, Mega Man 8 and X4, Mega Man Legends 1 and 2, The Misadventures of Tron Bonne, Klonoa, Tail Concerto, Tomba 1 and 2, and many more!
I had the N64 when I was 7 through 10 and none of those PSX games you listed were relevant to me at the time. Hell, MGS is the only one I've really played all that much since.
For me, it's N64 by a landslide, because of all the N64 games I actually remember playing as a small child.
And I like polls, but make the next one about PS2 XBOX and GCN a fuck, marry, kill poll.
PS1 for me. I have a N64 too but I enjoyed the PS1 way more with what it had to offer at the time.
I hope you feel better!
PS1. I dont think N64 games have aged well. A lot of early polygon games havent. PS1 had a lot of gorgeous 2D games and JRPGs that I loved.
I played both about equally back in the day. If I had to choose I guess I'd go with N64. I like the unique design of the system. PS1 is great but has a kind of generic feel to it.
PS1. Mostly for its stellar list of RPGs and MGS.
PS1. Just on the RPGs alone it probably had my favorite library of games, plus all the fighting games and titles like Resident Evil. It was the first non-Nintendo console I ever had.
As for N64, Super Mario 64 was fantastic.The Zeldas were groundbreaking, but I enjoyed Twilight Princess and Wind Waker far more than I did Ocarina of Time or Majora's Mask. There were also a couple of under-the-radar gems like Ogre Battle 64, Harvest Moon 64, and Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon, but the N64 is my least favorite Nintendo system of all time (setting aside Virtual Boy, of course).
We bought the N64 at launch with both games (Mario 64 and Pilot Wings). PS1 came second but that doesn't mean that we loved it any less.
If pressed I'd have to go with the one we owned the most games for, so PS1 then.
When comparing Playstation with Nintendo consoles, Playstation will always win. Especially in the first two generations. I guess it's more about how special the Nintendo games are to you.
Here's what I have left for N64. Gone are Banjo Tooie, Conkers Bad Fur Day, Donkey Kong 64, Doom 64, Hexen, Both Zeldas and Turok 2 Seeds of Evil. They were all well loved.
My PS1 collection has been so badly pillaged I don't even want to look at it anymore.

Playstation all the way. At the time I loved the idea of having the games on disc and I bought the original Playstation for the sports games. This was the console that got me back into playing video games.
