what system might be worth getting?

Get a PS2 and play all the great PS1 AND PS2 games. That's what I say.

ps2 for sure but DC and saturn arent gonna be as good because the games for saturn are rare and expensive and the dc games are already ported

Honestly I would go for a ps1.The only reason for this is because its cheaper and you can find the games you would want for cheaper.On the other hand some of the sega saturn greats can run as much as 299.99 and thats no joke.The Dreamcast was an awsome console also and I would say that one second if you you can find the games you want.I'm more partial to sega but like I said finding the consoles and then the stuff you need with them and the games can be a real head ache.Thats why I wish sega would re-release some of that stuff...although I doubt they will I can always dream.

This and make sure you buy a PS1 memory card to save your PS1 games.

i was thinking of geting something like a ps1 because it has sequals to alot of the cool snes games... but the dream cast has soulcalibur and saturn has nights wich all sound really cool...kingdavid562

ps1 > ps2

So get a ps2 because then you'll have the library of 2 systems to acquire. If you've never had either, even buying a new ps2 is worth it. I really want to say to go for a Saturn, because the longer you wait the more difficult it will be to find one in decent condition, but the games are harder to come by. The ebay/amazon scene is almost pointless. Goodwill and indie game stores are the way to go--they don't ever reach the astronomical prices that ebay does. I've been looking for a Saturn in good condition, but its been difficult. The saturn also has quite a few game genres that aren't a focus anymore, so it has its purpose even among consoles today.

Dreamcast is sweet, but I remember hearing a rumor that dreamcast games were maybe going to be downloadable at some point?

Pretty much any system is worth getting if it has enough games you actually want to play on it.

If you like 2d platformers and fighters, the Genesis and Super Nintendo will suit you well.

for original 3d games, the N64 and PS1 will be good for you.

And for something a little more powerful than them, the Dreamcast.

It really all boils down to what you want from a console.

I'd say the Saturn was more worth owning. I'm not saying its library is better (although it certainly holds its own), but the thing with PS1 games is that they are easily playable on a PS2 or PS3 anyway so there seems little point in owning the original system unless you're either a collector or very nostalgic for it.

Ps2 and also some good games on the First xbox aswell like Morrowind ect. but i would go for the ps2.

I'd say DC but the idea of getting the gamesmakes me get tired already.

Picking one system is impossible. Get a PS2, NES, SNES, Genesis (There are tri console things that play all 3 of these that run NES games much better than the old grey box did), SNES and Dreamcast

definitely go for ps2

What SNES sequals were you looking for? You may be better served with a saturn. Dreamcast is a console that I feel can be recommended to anyone and everyone, it has tons of interesting exclusive games that were not ported as well as many that were.

Dreamcast.

You will not regret it.

A Sega Saturn (though it's the more expensive of the 3 to fill out); the Panzer Dragoon series (Zwei [one of the best 3D shooters ever made IMO] and Saga [a very original RPG, both in terms of gameplay and style] are classics), NiGHTS (as you said), Burning Rangers (an addictive, futuristic firefighting game from Sonic Team), Guardian Heroes (a side-scrolling beat'em up from Treasure with insane replay value and unlockables - and is fun as hell on multiplayer), the Virtua Cop games (still incredibly fun [light gun needed], unlike Virtua Fighter 1 and 2, which have aged badly IMO), the Shining Force games (Wisdom [Action RPG], Holy Ark [First-Person RPG] and III [Strategy RPG], Dragon Force (an excellent Real-Time Strategy RPG), Shinobi Legions (epic ninja side-scroller), Mr. Bones (epic guitar-wielding skeleton side-scroller), as well as a whole slew of 2D fighters and shooters (SHMUPS). If you buy the console, you'll also want to get a Backup Memory Cartridge, as the internal battery of the console will die and you'll lose all of your saves. Have fun!

*Other noteworthy games: Clockwork Knight 1 and 2, Astal, Herc's Adventures, The Legend of Oasis, Mystara: The Realms of Lore, Saturn Bomberman
