Ps1 or the N64?

Which did you guys prefer?

I actually was able to own both, my Father buying me the Playstation due to it being the new "hot" thing.

My mother buying me the N64, due to here liking Mario and other flagship titles.

I enjoyed the N64 more personally it had all the game I enjoyed.

Golden eye

Smash bros

Mario Kart

Banjo

Kirby

Ocarina of time

N64 for me.

i like them both... but i grew up with a ps1 so ima have to say ps1 :)

Definitely Ps1 for me.

PS1, although i never had a preference, really. My dad chose to buy consoles for me, i never really asked for them. But i DEFINITELY appreciated it. My dad is awesome. Lots of father/son co-op gaming like Double Dragon, Final Fight, etc. Great times. He finally stopped buying me consoles after the ps2 and xbox, which is actually when he decided HE was too old to play them.

Yes, as a single child i was hella spoiled.But he didn't buy consoles at launch, or even near launch. He waited til over a year ormore after launch, when the prices dropped (and when used ones were available). The only console i bought for myself was a used N64, which i got about 6 yrs ago. Only wanted it for 3 games - Perfect Dark, Wrestlemania 2000, and Conker's Bad Fur Day. Bought my wife a Wii, so technically it wasn't for myself. I purchased a PS3 but that was with gift money, and that was just 2 months ago (the tradition of not buying consoles anywhere near launch continues!).

No console has topped these two, yet. PS1, N64, and the SNES are the three best gaming machines ever created.

Personally I prefer the N64 because I bought it before the Playstation. Pilotwings, Mario 64, Wave Race, Blast Corps, Goldeneye, Smash Bros, and Ocarina of Time are games that have yet to be surpassed.

I can't discredit the Playstation though. I ended up buying one, and have very fond memories of Twisted Metal 1&2, Gran Turismo, and Metal Gear Solid. All the sports games were also better on the Playstation. It really was worth owning the both of them.

PS1=RPG's therefore PS1=Best.

However, N64 was also awesome.

I owned an N64 and played that most. However looking back, I would certainly say the PS1 was better overall.

PS1 had some of the best games and best moments like-

• Final Fantasy VII-IX
• Metal Gear Solid
• Resident Evil series
• Gran Turismo
• Crash Team Racing

My parents would only let me have one console, and I picked the PlayStation. It was a great system though. With series like Spyro, Dino Crisis, Parasite Eve, and Jet Moto.

Eventually I shall pick up an N64.

Definitely the N64. I liked the original metal gear, but no where near the other ones, even the remake was miles better, but other then that I never felt that PS1 was that great. N64 however had many many great games. Banjo, DK64, Perfect Dark, 007 (including the golden eye sequel which was a forgotten, yet great game) Turok (idk if it was multiplat) Smash Bros, Rogue Squadron, Battle for Naboo, Zelda oot, and Majoras Mask. I think maybe an argument for PS1 is that it had a deeper library, but too me the top 15 or so games aren't even close. The only thing N64 is lacking is RPGs.

Both consoles were great and had great games, but I go with PS1 for the sheer volume of games released.

If you want adventure games and platformers go with the N64. If you want RPGs and games with depth then go with the Ps1.

Honestly I wouldn't recommend it. The N64 has aged HORRIBLY. metswonin69

What do you mean by that?

PS1 for me. Crash and Spyro were basically my entire childhood. N64 is awesome, though.

What do you mean by that?

The Nintendo 64, by a "Long Shot". My favorite game is: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, which was for the Nintendo 64. The "Long Shot" was an item in the game. :D

Ps1 here.

What do you mean by that?

Disagree. The classics on the N64 have the windwaker factor. Mario 64, Wave Race, and Blast Corps remain as some of my favorite looking games, to this day.

Question to all you guys saying the ps1 had all the games. I understand that but did you really play RPGs in the 64bit era? I know I didn't, except Zelda is that even counts as an RPG.Fightingfan

Just checked and I still own 13 PS1 games and 16 N64 games. So N64 wins for me. :)

I'm more of an RPG gamer so I have to say PS1 for sure, it has some of my all time favorites. But the N64 was also great, and it too has some of my all time favorites. :P

N64 easily. PS1 never had games that captured my interest, besides resident evil, metal gear solid, FFVII, and ehrgeiz.

N64 W000000000000000000000000000000t!!!!!!!!!

N64 for graphics and better games. PS1 cheaper games and more of a variety.

Playstation1 for me.

Nintendo 64 for me.

PS1 becasue of Gran Turismo 1&2.

They are both great consoles, i grew up with a N64 so i would probably favour that a little more, but whenever i got to play my cousins ps1 i loved it so its about equal for me.

I have never, ever played a N64, and the only game personally that the system interests me for is Goldeneye. But hopefully that will pop up on Xbox Live Arcade sometime... oh, yeah and a few Wrestling titles... there's a few that I want to play... including WWF No Mercy.

But I grew up with the PS1 mainly. There were so many great games!

Nope the Hookshot is from Dampe, the graveyard keeper. The Longshot is item from the Water Temple.

PS1 for me. I liked the games for PS1 better.

PS1 had more games, many of which were really good (including my favourite 4 FF games, 7-9 plus the port of 6), but the few classics I remember on N64 still represent the best time in gaming for me. Weird to think today, but Mario Kart 64 seemed absolutely mind blowing to me at the time. :-P

N64 wins for me, as it had (all imo) the best Mario game ever and the best Mario Kart game ever and Lylat Wars, as well as a few other gems such as Blast Corps, ISS64, Goldeneye (though I hated the single player, multiplayer was ace). Local multiplayer hasn't been the same since the N64 days.

PS1 > N64

=Ace combat 2

=Twisted metal

=Jet moto

=Resident evil 1

=Diehard Trilogy

but the N64 is still pretty awesome, I just havent got around to buying one. the only games I want to play on it are Golden Eye 007, Mario64, and MarioKart64

I feel like the PS1 had games in genres which are more popular today. PS1 was experimenting with ideas which would evolve into the more refined experiences we have today. A lot more variety came from that system.

Having said that, one could say the PS1 has aged poorly due to the years of improvement on the formulas the ps1 presented. In contrast, the genres most popular on the n64 have not aged as much in current-gen times. I'm talking specifically about platform games, zelda-like games, beat-em ups, kart racers, and party games.

I think ps1 was the better system, but the n64 has not aged as poorly.
