Yeah so what 'big' consoles would you like to see make a comeback- not to release new games necessarliy- but may be to just rerelease old games and live out the good old days?

And why? - tell us what makes the Megadrive so much better than teh Snes (in your opinion)

- I have only put down the well known ones, just to get started with- maybe more obscure ones later.

I have to go with the Game Gear.

That system had so much potential! I absolutely loved it and it had some really good games like Shining Force. I really liked the fact that it had the TV tuner, too.

If they could bring it back and cut down how much batter power it used and ported some Genesis games over, I would totally buy it again.

I have chosen the Saturn- simply because some of the best and most memorable games I have ever played are on this wonderful system.

There are many great moments of game-age that I have had on the Saturn:

Nights into Dreams
Panzer Dragoon Zwei
Shining Wisdom
Shining the Holy Ark
Shining Force 3
Sega Rally
Sega Touring Cars
Sonic R
Virtua Fighter
and (my favourite game of all time)
Panzer Dragoon Saga.

So many more moments I owe to this machine. I love it.

I've heard soooo many good things about Panzer Dragoon Saga, but I've never played the game at all. Man, I wish I could.

-Wish we could have two votes on this thing- the Game Gear would be my second choice - loved that little thing (still do actually- mines still working)

But Yeah Panzer Dragoon Saga- brilliant- nothing like the other Panzer games, much, much better.

Some people did complain about the game being too short- but either I was really bad at it, or it was because I was taking in each little bit, that I spent loads of time on this game- much more than the average RPG that you play these days.

Also the graphics did really astound me- because it has some of the best graphics on the Saturn- I mean the water effects look so good. 'They' all said that the Saturn couldn't do transparency effects properly- well just see this game and that should prove the theory wrong.

An experience I will never forget- the cut scenes are fantastic, really get you into the game and it almost brought a tear to my eye when I completed it.

Ahh good times..... :D

Oh it is.

Only other game that I can compare it to is Skies of Arcadia- because flying your ship around is very similar to piloting your Dragoon.

-Also must point out that Shining Force 3 is by far the second best RPG I have played (another great reason to buy a Saturn)

In a word;

NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! :D :-X 8-) ??? ;D

You Batsrads (you heard me) I did hear of the Smash Pack- but I never actually knew what games were on there. I thought it would be just like the one on the Saturn-where you only got three games and they weren't amazing-but still good fun.
But MAN -that really pisses me off! Why the hell didn't Sega release that over here? (Actually knowing my luck they did and noone told me- But still Im pretty sure they didn't) People would have snapped that up in a second.

But we did get Sega Swirl (Wahoo ;D) free with a Magazine- its good but not exactly ground breaking.

This is one of those days that I wish I lived in America.
