wolfy42 04/04/18 6:22:30 PM #7:	Of those, I would choose Dreamcast which I still have btw (And my original phantasy star online). I have my jaguar as well, and Alien Vs Predator, but it was like the only game worth it on that system. Still the best version of that game released in my opinion, but not worth it for one game. Rest are meh. Sega Saturn had some decent RPGs if I remember right but I could live without them. Don't even remember what was on the 3do honestly, and intellivision was good for it's time, but I would be bored super fast now. Pitfall was a great game for instance, when it released, but now?

I'll admit that Sega has a shit ton of great games, but their consoles were always crap in my eyes, Saturn and Dreamcast very much included. How is Genesis crap? The Dreamcast was only "bad" because they were idiots and didn't include any copy protection. --- Gamertag: Kegfarms, BF code: 2033480226, Treasure Cruise code 318,374,355, Steam: Kegfarms <cite>Revelation34 posted [p:899408226] in Choose a c...

The Dreamcast was only "bad" because they were idiots and didn't include any copy protection. The controller's buttons are very stiff and don't have a lot of give to them. They also tend to have faulty power adapters on the model 1 (it got fixed with the model 2). My biggest problem with the Dreamcast has nothing to do with copy protection (a lot of cd based consoles didn't have copy protection), it has to do with the controllers. They feel very cheap with the hard plastic with no give, and the groves in the buttons cut into your fingers. Not to mention the cord comes from the front of the controller not the back meaning you have to awkwardly wrap it around and clip it to the back, shortening the already short cords even more. Also, the VMU's have this VERY annoying beeping sound when the batteries are dying in them. Probably my favorite Sega console is the Master System, but even that has a set of problems. Just less then the other Sega consoles. --- I am a senior software engineer. If you see me post here, I am tired of writing TPS reports. <cite>Dikitain posted [p:899416812] in Choose a c...
