Community Newsletter Poll: Sega Vs Nintendo, the early years.

[Guest Colin]

Because you can link them together for multi-player/multi-console games

 

A lot of games allow multi-console, like Halo & Halo 2 can have 4 consoles, 16 players

 

In the UK we had 4 Xboxes, all permanently networked :)

 

 

See, the Xbox is for people who have friends :D

 

Or like to pretend to have friends anyway

See' date=' the Xbox is for people who have friends :D[/quote']

That's why I don't have one :(

[Guest MrFill]

When I was still in the UK, we had regular Thursday night Halo-fests

 

10+ people all coming round to eat pizza, drink, and play several hours of Halo - damn good fun

 

Why would I want to spend several hundred pounds/dollars to pretend that I had friends, if I wanted to pretend then I'd just save my money :P

 

 

The other reason to have several Xboxes now is that my wife and I can go on Xbox Live at the same time, but not take up TV space

 

If there's one thing that M$ did right with the Xbox is making Live so good

Keeping the tradition going MrFill sir.

 

I'll have to go with Nintendo, The Super Mario Bros game on the gameboy kept me entetained for ages.

 

Blades of steel on the NES is probably the best ice hockey game ever.

 

And the Snes made my childhood a a happy one

 

So i'm voting Nintendo.

[Guest Christof]

The NES rules. Starting playing mine again in April while at uni.

 

if anyone wnats to buy it let me know :xyx

[Guest Proudy]

i voted nintendo, The Super Mario Bros games are great!!!

[Guest Rog]

The SNES took my gaming viginity, and you always remember your first!! Mario, Zelda, Street Fighter 2, the original Metroid, ah good times.

 

And besides gentlemen I believe I hold the record for most PS2s owned at 4!

That's because they're build so cheaply that they break really easily :P

Exactly :thumbsup Do you know how much fun it is to fork out money, for something that lasts about a year. The first one yes I did drop it once on the floor, the second one I brought on he train every week so that probably didnt help. The third one just started whirring and clicking one day.... :(

[Guest WWE]

SEGA. I owned (and stuff do) a Mega Drive. :D Sonic games are the best on MD!

[Guest Dave7g]

I started with a Rowtron TV Games system which was really just Pong. Then I had a C64 which was the greatest thing I ever had. Since then I've owned all the consoles except the Gamecube which I didn't like. I'm not a hoarder so when I wanted a newer console I sold the old ones. It makes sense to me. Now I have all the old machines and games emulated perfectly on a computer. So now I only have an X-Box, PS2 and a good ole Dreamcast, my phone however is an N-Gage.

 

Ooops I forgot, I voted for NES as Super Mario Brothers is still one of my favourite games of all time, yes still!

I've had the same PS2 since they came out, ok the laser is beginning to play up but it still works.
