What SEGA system is your absolute favorite?? As much as I love the Saturn and Mega Drive, I gotta go with the Dreamcast... it brought next-gen graphics that were far beyond anything ever seen (See: Soul Calibur) - but of course that would mean nothing without its incredible lineup of games... Soul Calibur, Street Fighter III, Sonic Adventure, Rayman 2, Skies of Arcadia, Marvel vs Capcom 1/2, Power Stone, Crazy Taxi, Shenmue, etc etc etc... it goes down in history to me as one of the greatest consoles of all time, and I still play mine regularly, even though I bought it over 9 years ago :-D

Heres my list of my favorite Sega consoles in order:

1) Dreamcast

2) Saturn

3) Mega Drive

4) Master System

5) Game Gear


Sadly, I was never given the chance to play a 32X or CD... although I will hopefully own both one day...

What is your pick for your favorite SEGA system?

its a close tie between the Mega Drive and Saturn, Saturn wins slightly because of Panzer Dragoon Saga, but the Mega Drive has Sonic CD (with the Mega CD of course), so im not really sure

Mega Drive. I used to love that thing. I had a Dreamcast as well but there didnt seem to be many games in the UK for it.

Coming from a rabid SEGA fan: Saturn > Genesis > Master System > Dreamcast > Game Gear = SEGA CD > 32X Saturn is the best system ever made. By far.

I play my Saturn the most. I really like the kind of games it has. So different to what the other two major consoles were doing at the time. I guess I'm more of a 2D kid when it comes to retro consoles. The Dreamcast is a great system too with some excellent games but I just haven't spent as much time with it.

Man I miss my Saturn.. I got one for Christmas with the "3 free games offer" - but eventually ended up selling it - big mistake!

I think Virtua Fighter 2 and Nights: Into Dreams were my fav games for that system...

The Dreamcast by a very large margin. I just never really liked their older systems but I had such great gaming memories with the Dreamcast that I still find myself remembering the day it officially died and they cancelled the Dreamcast magazine and I get sad all over again.

Wasn't there one advertisement where he grappled a fat kid and threw him about a half a mile where he exploded into flames on landing? That made laugh so hard! :lol:

I'd say Dreamcast first, Genesis 2nd.

Dreamcast was the first console released in that generation (before PS2, GameCube and Xbox). It was Sega's last 'HURRAH', where they seemed to do everything right, it just didn't work out. The system has even outlasted 3 DVD drives in my Xbox, if that says anything about the quality.

Genesis, I had after I already had an SNES, but there were enough exclusives to make it worth the time and money.

I played Double Dragon on a Master System a few times and enjoyed it as much as the NES version, but never owned one.

When I chose to get a PlayStation instead of the Saturn (when they had the 3 free game deal), it was ultimately due to Twisted Metal being exclusive.

The Genesis still holds my fondest video game memories of any console, so definitely it.

No self-respecting fighter fan uses the stock pad. Arcade sticks for the win.

Genesis for me. It had a good variety of genres and a large catalog of great games. The other systems were too niche.

I would pick the first version of the Sega Genesis released in 1989. Back then the N.E.S was the top console then Sega released the first genesis with then great pack in game Altered beast. Sega had the best console offering at the time when a 16-bit console was the top of the line gaming system with great arcade translations for it's time. Which blew away the N.E.S's arcade conversions by a mile, Plus as a bonus the cartridge cases for the games were better than nintendo's cardboard boxes. Sega reigned supreme over Nintendo until the S.N.E.S arrived in 1991. The Genesis 2 (redesign although smaller didn't quite do it for me as the start/reset button were prone to getting stuck) The remake felt cheaply made. This marks the only time Sega had the top console of a generation. 1989-1991 Other Sega systems failed lead their generations. Dreamcast & Saturn were crushed by Sony. Gamegear was crushed by the orginal monocolor Gameboy.

I have only owned an Master System myself, but have played tons on the Mega Drive, and for me, its a tie between those. I am looking for a Saturn at this moment, just trying to find one for cheap.

not sure why you say this... sure the DC got a lot of attention and has some very hardcore fans- but that is because it earned that with revolutionary graphics, online play, and some bad booty games... (most of them exclusive, unlike today's games)

back then the console was pretty underrated but know people talk about it as if it were god. the system was good, but not THAT good, as far as I'm concerned it no longer deserves the title of "underrated console"
