I'll give my own answer in a little while.

PS2

seconded by Atari.

The SNES was one of the consoles I really grew up on. I had a NES, but I never really got into gaming until the SNES. There were so many games for the SNES that kicked 100 per cent absolute ass. Many are their own epic legend.

Super Mario World was really cool. I think it's probably the best Mario. Super Mario Kart was also a lot of fun. I spent quite a bit of time in front of these two games alone. Then there's all the other classics. I liked Pilot Wings quite a bit, even though it was certainly difficult in some areas. Zelda: A Link to the Past is probably the best Zelda title ever.

I feel that the Final Fantasy series saw its apex on the SNES. "Final Fantasy II" (American) was my first real Final Fantasy (I think I owned FFMQ before it, but that doesn't quite count). It drew me into the series quite a bit, really. I can't even describe it.

Then there's the SNES games that were really innovative for their time. Mario Paint has so much going on that it was fun to sit in front of it for hours. Super Scope 6 was a novel idea, even if it never took off.

Sim Ant and Sim City were both enjoyable in their own way on the Super Nintendo. Lots of time invested in those two, too.

Holy shit, the list goes on. There's the games I never owned but played like Earthbound.

If I went into any strong detail about how any of these games really kicked ass, I'd have an essay on my hands, so I tried to keep it short.

Again, my bias is probably because it was the first real gaming system I got into, but damn, the SNES was so awesome.

Plays original PS games, PS2 game and DVD's.

The graphics are good, and the FMVs are just holy.I know that the GameCube graphics pizown ps2 but ohwell

I got into heavy gaming after I got my Playstation. And the PS2 is just like the more adult PlayStation.

I like sony, I trust sony.

PlayStation has built a good reputation for games and manages to keep it.

I am poor and it is all I can afford

And finally...Kingdom Hearts + Soul Reaver 2 + Blood Omen 2 + DMC =

• Super Mario Kart
• The Legend of Zelda A Link to the Past
• Donkey Kong Country
• Mario Paint
• Final Fantasy Mystic Quest
• Mario is Missing!
• Super Battletank: War in the Gulf
• Pilotwings
• Lemmings
• Desert Strike The Return to the Gulf
• StarFox
• Sim City
• The Rocketeer
• Super Mario World
• Gradius III
• Sim Ant
• Super Scope 6
• Wario's Woods
• Super Battleship
• Final Fantasy II

Wow, I can't believe I forgot Lemmings and StarFox. Those were also kickass games.

Street Fighter II

There was much rejoicing when Zephyer said this:
PS2. It has the Armored Core series and plays DVDs.

I feel like games have mostly lost the story and fun gameplay they had since the SNES. There are certainly a few that hold a strong plot (Xenogears comes to mind), but most do rely at least some on eye candy to get away with a weaker game.

And speaking in terms of Final Fantasy, I know saying this is going to piss off a lot of people, but FFVII was the beginning of the downfall. It isn't really part of the same caste that earlier FFs were made in. It only got worse from there. FFVIII was even further off from the original series. The plot and system were nothing like what was in earlier Final Fantasy games. I feel like the switch to Sony had a very profound impact on the FF series.

Why GameCube? Because. :P~

I guess that's kinda implied, though, because none of you have a time machine.

1. Super Smash TV. The game which restored my faith in it - it said "Slowdown goes away if you program it right."

2. Contra III. Nuff said.

3. The original SF2 for SNES. It was. It is. It will always be.

4. Final Fantasy III. It is the Alpha and the Omega of RPG's.

5. Mortal Kombat II. I don't think there was a more perfect arcade translastion besides those listed above.

6. The Super Game Boy. Best $40 I ever spent on my Game Boy.

7. Donkey Kong Country. It began there. Now pick your damned jaw up.

Bahamut Lagoon.

Awesome then, still awesome now. The battle animations were so... smooth. The dragons were very nicely well done, and the scenery was beautiful. Shame it was the last game Square did for the SNES.
