No n64 was
the controller though
Ahead of its time, for the future when man would be blessed by genetic technology to bestow 3 hands upon themselves
It had stick drift before it was cool
The controller was perfectly fine. The concept was slightly ridiculous and I don’t think I ever played a game that actually used the left side, but ergonomically it was fine.
I know, how are you supposed to lower yourself to anything else when you've already held perfection.
No ps1 was
I'd argue PS2 is objectively better since it's also a PS1 too
Technically, PS2 was better. But PS2 was also the beginning of the end for proper single player narrative games like the Final Fantasy Series, Chrono Trigger/Cross, Colony Wars, Wing Commander, etc...
The PS2 kept those going early on, but I feel like later into it's life cycle it started to move down the "everything has to be multiplayer now" route.
Which is why, for me, my list of emulated games skews FAR heavier to old PS1 classics.
Just my opinion though. Don't shoot me, please.
No PC Engine was.
Listen to this and I fucking dare you to type that again

n64 was trash tho. literally the only 90s console i never emulate, because nothing on it is worth playing.
Yea, Mario 64, Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, 007, Wave Racer, Pilot Wings, Tetrisphere, Banjo Kazooie, Diddy Kong Racing. All garbage.
i'm glad we can agree.
I was obviously being sarcastic, but why do you think those games were trash? They were all really quite revolutionary for their time. Compared to modern games they suck, but for that generation of games, they were unmatched in graphics and mechanics.
zero of them held my interest back then, and zero of them hold my interest today. it didn't help that the machine was janky and the controller was a shitshow. just an all around wreck of a console. every single game was ugly as sin and many of them i literally can't watch without getting sick.
I guess you have the attention span of a gnat to not hold the interest of a single one of those games, especially since they span a wide range of genres. I would also be curious to know what games released during that generation looked better. My first step into those 3d worlds blew my mind, and captivated me at the potential future of gaming. If there was something else during that time that looked as good, I would love to hear it.
Maybe they get motion sickness from the early 3d rendering?
Idk. I love n64, weird as it is.
