Both, I have quite a few systems such as : Atari 2600 Nintendo Entertainment System Super Nintendo Nintendo 64 Nintendo Gamecube Nintendo Wii Sega Genesis Sega Saturn Sega Dreamcast Xbox Xbox 360 Playstation Playstation 2 Playstation 3 Game Boy Game Boy Advance Game Boy Advance SP Sega Game Gear Nintendo DS Nintendo 3DS XL Game.com and a minimum of 15 games per system, with my Genesis having the most at a total of 59 games. Mind you I am not loaded or anything, I have just literally been collecting all of these systems ever since I could walk. And believe or not every system gets played regularly, unless they're in a state of disrepair such as my Saturn or Dreamcast are right now. Now that I put that into perspective all I can say is damn, I didn't even realize I had that much  |

Good to see there are others in Michigan that actually own this system. I live in the northern part of MI and explaining the Saturn is like speaking a foreign language.

Damn, that's a lot of systems  I have N64 and Saturn, I collect both but has restricted myself to get games that I want to play only. At least for now. So in the midst of selling a few of my N64 titles. Do you have the game Silver for the Dreamcast? |

No I don't Clockwise. Is it a good game?
I hear ya kamakazeekun, but it has been almost 16 years since the system met it's untimely demise. Not to mention that was heavily shadowed by the N64 and PlayStation unfortunately. I would say that it was dumb to not like the system but looking back Sega made huge mistakes when it came to systems. I remember not being able to keep up with them back in the day what with all the different consoles or add ons coming out. First was the Genesis/Megadrive, then the 32x was the newest thing and just over a year later the Saturn was the greatest, then just halfway through it's lifespan, Dreamcast! Too much, too fast, too soon, that I believe is what ended this giants time in the console market.

Too much, too fast, too soon, that I believe is what ended this giants time in the console market. I can't speak for the Dreamcast version, though I have seen it in the top 30 lists for games to Dreamcast, but the PC version is freaking awesome. One of the better games I've played. I played the shit out of that game as a kid, so it's probably a ton of nostalgia value for me. I did buy it for PC 2 years ago or so and replayed it, liked it even better this time around since I understood certain jokes and hints a lot better lol. Awesome game, love it. Didn't even know it existed on any other platform than PC so I almost bought a Dreamcast just to get that game. And yes, they did release consoles quite quickly. Another issue was probably the naming of them as well. Compared to the playstation it was a lot harder to know which system came first unless you knew what you were getting. But parents buying consoles for their kids might have no clue. The PS was a lot easier in that regard, and so was the Nintendo consoles...Nintendo Entertainment System, Super Nintendo Entertainment System, Nintendo 64, Playstation, Playstation 2, Playstation 3, Playstation 4. Mastersystem, Genesis/Megadrive, Game Gear, SEGA CD, 32X, Saturn, Dreamcast. A lot harder in that aspect...and yeah, Saturn really put the company on the ropes since it was so damn expensive :< |

It was just a damned shame the company took as large of a nosedive as they did. For the longest time they had no chance to pull back up and sadly, the Dreamcast was evidence of that. No one trusted them as they couldn't see dropping $399 like they did for the Saturn only 2.5 years later the Dreamcast is announced at $299. People (at least here in the US, not entirely sure for the UK or Japan) got fed up and stopped buying Sega. The irony of the situation? Time heals all wounds and they could have released one maybe as early as last gen (360, ps3) but alas, the hurt from the Dreamcast and financial hardships wouldn't permit it. The damning thing about it all is that here in the US there were patents put out for a new kind of memory unit and a controller by Sega, but like the Xbox 360 & PS3 Castlevania (the original announcement, not lords of shadow) these went the way of the dodo. Now I've seen quite a few game companies come and go, such as 989 Studios, Probe, Infogrames. But this one here, this one will hurt the most when it finally dies. And I hate to be a Debbie Downer but with the way things are looking and Sega becoming nothing more than a Cell Phone Game developer, it is only a matter of time before it happens. I just hope they can do it with their dignity intact. Or at the very most prove me wrong and flourish because I don't wanna see Sega Die  |

segafan1986 welcome to SSUK. Wow that's a great collection of consoles. Good to know they are all getting played. I'm sure more get played than others. If you could pick your top 3 consoles out of that lot, which would they be?
