I’m 34, almost 35, and I think that my fave console has to be the first PlayStation. It was the first time that fully 3D games became the norm rather than a display of tech prowess. As a child I had a Sega Megadrive (which is also an amazing console) but when I got a PS1 for Christmas and played Spyro I was hooked! This was the future lol! God I wish I could experience those days again.

Dreamcast - I've loved a lot of consoles in my days, but the Dreamcast still holds a special place. So many great/weird/awesome games, and it came out at a perfect time in my life when I was living with friends, so we'd all crowd on the couch and play stuff like Powerstone. Good times.

My favourite console would have to be the super Nintendo, it had so many great games...but if we include computers too id probably choose the amiga, that had some really good games too.

I've always been a PC gamer. There was, however, a time period between early '07 and late '10 that my PC was a little out of date, and I gamed primarily on Xbox 360. The list of absolutely awesome games I enjoyed on that platform feels endless, and with the dawn of easy online multiplayer, Achievements and downloadable indie games, that console generation felt like a whole new world:
New IP: Crackdown, Gears of War, Bioshock, Assassin's Creed, Enslaved, Deadlight, Braid, Limbo, Splosion Man;
New worlds within IP: Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter, Star Wars: the Force Unleashed, Halo Wars, Race Pro;
Next-gen sequels: Halo 3, Forza Motorsport 2, Call of Duty 4, Grand Theft Auto 4, Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway, Red Dead Redemption;
Sequels within the generation: GTA4 DLC and GTA5, Halo ODST, Reach and 4, Forza Motorsport 3 and 4, Assassin's Creed 2 and Brotherhood, Gears of War 2
From 2010 onward I upgraded my PC again and slowly switched back to the mouse and keyboard, but I'll always look back fondly on the X360 generation.

Sega Saturn all the way! PS1 3D games looked impressive, but Saturn 3D looked straight up impossible - like a 2D system being pushed far beyond its limits. Also, god-tier 2D!

It's gonna be a tie between the n64 and super nintendo. If handhelds are included the original gameboy wins hands down, the amount of hours I put into that as a kid would be ridiculous

Super NES, for a lot of the same reasons that you mentioned, just bumped back a generation. All my friends had the NES growing up, and when my parents finally relented and bought me a "Nintendo", the Super NES had just come out and it was amazing. So many colors! 96 levels in Super Mario World! The possibilities! It's still my favorite to this day, although the PS2 is really high up the list, too.
