which console was the greatest???

SNES or PS1???

i think that for the most part, we can all agree that these two consoles really churned out some good games back in the day, REALLY good games back in the day. which one did you like better???

hard choice for me but i think im gonna have to go with the SNES....just waaaaay more fond memories. but i had some DAMN good times with my PS1 as well....

I'd have to say PS1.

FF VIII - a game with four full CDs. Amazing amount of content.

The Super Nintendo has to be the best system. I didn't get a PS1 until much later, but I have to agree that the PS1 is one of the best game consoles. The Super Nintendo just had a better library of games.

I believe SNES had the bigger library of games, but when it comes to innovation the PS1 definitely wins there. I mean cinematic gaming was practically perfected with the PS1 in games like FFVII MGS and Silent Hill.

SNES FTW

While PS1 had many great games.SNES killed it by have having dozens of amazing games. SNES killed PS1 in the RPG department. With FF4,FF6JKnaperek

Don't kid yourself the ps1 is like an RPG god. It had FF7 and FF8, it even had FFT and other games like Xenogears, Chrono Cross, Grandia, Vagrant Story. Its got the highest rated rpgs ever made on a console. Also FF6 and 4 were remade for the ps1. If you ask me the PS1 is a much better system, heck it started MGS which had voice acting, CG movies which the SNES lacked. Other than platforming titles like mario and donkey kong it had nothing over the PS1. Zelda was also awesome. Heck the ps1 even stole chrono trigger and made somewhat of a sequel (Chrono Cross) and a few other titles from the SNES such as Mega Man.

Ps1 also came out with the most popular racing game ever created Gran Turismo, the first system to have a 3D fighting games like Tekken 3. It also came out with the most popular castlevania game ever which is Symphony of the Night. Also the PS1 started Resident Evil and had 4 different RE games. Don't get me wrong I love the SNES but it doesn't have a better gaming library then the PS1.

their both very different systems... i dont think they compare...

but... i think the ps1 is better..

While one of my top games of all time is on PlayStation - I spent a lot more time and have a lot more favorites overall on the SNES.

At this point it's better to just own multiple systems as you can go back and see what you missed.

Quick FYI - without the SNES, there might never have been the PlayStation.

Enjoyed both, but prefer SNES:):)

SNES.

Though PS1 is MUCH better than PS2.

For me it's a tie.

Funny... all the innovations you saw in those two came from the... PC. Consoles never invented a darn thing, they simply used research done there and moved it over to a propietary piece of hardware and they were always years behind what the PC could do.

That said, I have fonder memories of the SNES. The games seemed to have more charm to them but it might be because I was younger. The PS1 had good games but in general they werent memorable because by the time games like FFVII came out I already had games like Daggerfall & Diablo on the PC and you simply could not compare Daggerfall or PC Diablo to console games in general... Daggerfall made consoles look like baby rattles. I did enjoy some PS games though, like FFT, BoF and a bunch of others but they were not memorable.

why you feel you had to bring PC into a console conversation is beyond me. yes we recognize the PC as the "innovator" but i dont think it was neccessary. thanks for the input though! :) i do appreciate it...

snes or n64, i can not choose between these 2 becasue they both had their games, goldeneye or dkc etc , its a tough one , but snes is what im choosing

I didn't play on the SNES much. Some of the games were great, but I really enjoyed the games on PS1 more. Just my preference.

He asked which console was the greatest, but gave us an option of two so either

1-Improper grammar

2-He is saying those two are the only options for the greatest console which I don't agree with

So I put an option for each of those two

SNES: A Link to the Past, Donky Kong 1-3, Killer Instinct, Super Mario World, Super Mario All Stars, Zombies Ate my Neighbors, Kirby Super Star, Gradius III, Super Mario Kart, Final Fantasy III, Mega Man X, Super Metroid, Chrono Trigger, etc...

I have yet to have a system that has had even the slightest impact that SNES did.

SNES dominates.

I've played both and I like both of them equally. I can't decide, such a hard question.

PS1 for me
