Extremely unpopular opinion here that will make balding 40 year old boomers mad but NES, SNES, Genesis, basically everything before N64/PS1/Saturn.

Until that point home consoles were just shitty arcade ports out the ass. Genre's like racing, sports, simulation, etc have only gotten better through time. The only original "classic" games anyone cares about in those generations were sidescrolling platformers and very few beat em ups/shoot em ups that weren't arcade ports. Ie three incredibly boring genres.

Metroid, Castlevania, Mega Man, Battletoads, Contra, Kirby, Ghost and Goblins, and Disney games like Duck Tales, Aladdin, and Lion King have all been put on pedestals out of pure nostalgia from balding boomers, and young zoomers just parrot them because "old man says this is historical and classical, and it was before i was born so it must be true" but the truth is they're all ass. Yes they are dogshit. So are a lot of the beloved arcade games honestly like the Simpsons Arcade and Turtles in Time, etc.

I know clearly because I recently have gone through a ton of these in the past few weeks through emulation.

For the time games were a nice little novelty. Go drop some quartes in the arcade machines while waiting for a movie to start. Play Mario and Duck Hunt, maybe Punch Out or some shit game made out of your IP (there certainly were a lot of them, such a high percentage of colossal failure pieces of shit on these old consoles).

Everyone respects pong as being the first major game that people played. But it's not something anyone goes "gee today i really want to play pong to unwind". Same for other rudimentary games like those on the Atari 2600 and such.

That's how I and many others currently feel about OP's beloved NES and SNES. For as much shit retarded faggots like you like to throw on the N64, as much as you can point and laugh at the turds, it's still better than your precious NostalgiaES and has less clunkers

Anything before the third gen, just too dull and clunky.

I also don't get why fat nerds are so infatuated with the Dreamcast whatsoever. It may have gotten the best versions of some late fifth gen multiplats but otherwise its library seems to consist of Jap only visual novels and uninteresting late '90s 3D Sega arcade ports (which are designed to be played for 10 minutes at a time and munch quarters). Just barely anything on it that interests me whatsoever, and in fidelity it of course gets blown out by later sixth gen systems. At least the Saturn produced the best sprite based graphics of the fifth gen, so there's some redeeming value there.

I also really dislike the average audiovisual presentation on the N64 and its focus on a few first party franchises. I blame the cartridge size for it but it generally has these really offputting graphics with muddled textures, barren environments and some sort of bilinear vaseline filter smeared over everything in a lot of titles, and the sound is equally lacking with little music, few sound effects and of course next to no prerendered movie sequences at all. Maybe I have rose tinted goggles for the PS1 (which by all means isn't flawless either) because I grew up with it but the N64 just looks and sounds ugly to me and has little appeal in the library. Even the Gamecube looks more interesting.

>>7769420

>Sega Master System
I understand why this console was special to people who grew up with it, but I've rarely played a game on this console for more than fifteen minutes, and much of that is due to the horrible sound chip. I'd rather listen to the POKEY chip on the Atari 2600, at least that had some cool music in games like Gyruss and was fairly cutting edge. I don't think it's technically superior to the NES either, except in how many colors it can push (NES beats it in other graphic-related categories)

>Neo-Geo
Just not affordable. I am an arcade nerd and there are several good games on here. But just insane prices.

>Nintendo 64
I like this console and own about twenty or so games for it, but its legacy is heavily overblown. Don't get me started on the people who reply with Rare when the system's nice but not diverse third-party library is brought up. It has an audience, but the console itself was not a game changer. Mario64, OOT, focus on multiplayer, sure. Otherwise eh.

>Dreamcast
Another console I genuinely enjoy and do own, only a few games including MvC2 (before it rose to insane prices). I want to get more games for it, but the community for this thing is rabid, no way am I paying $40 for Sonic Adventure. But so many games on this console too got better ports elsewhere. Also has one of the worst analog sticks I've ever used, coming off Sega's near perfect Saturn analog stick.

I was going to bring up the Intellivision, but the only real gripes I have with that console are the controller and the slightly off-putting font every game has.

[Anonymous No.7770794]

A lot of the Master System's best games were PAL region only but even then usually they're diet versions of a Mega Drive game. Also the crappy sound really takes you out of the games.

dreamcast is a very pretentious console. The library is pretty good but outside of fighting game types I don't think it has much appeal. There's a few decent one offs here and there but largely it's just an inferior Saturn with a much smaller library of quality games. Basically every genre on both consoles is better on Saturn, quality wise, quantity wise, etc. Lots of people meme it up because it's Sega's last console but it never got a strong stride of good releases. There's the internet meme it had and a few meme games like JSR and Seaman but whatever.

As for consoles I don't care for, n64 & gamecube.

You are a correct that early console's library consisted mostly of arcade style games. If you don't like arcade genres the only thing on the consoles for you are a handful of adventure games, metroidvanias, RPGs that have aged well. If you do like arcade genres consoles are very good, since they have a lot of good exclusives. Except for beat em ups.

Best libraries: Arcade, NES, SNES, PS2

-ARCADE
-PRE NES: Shitty graphics and just endurance tests of how long you can loop the same section for score.
-NES: Great library of action games
-MASTER SYSTEM: Just seems like a library of worst action games then NES
-SNES: Great library of action games. A few good rpgs, adventures, and metroidvanias. Still need to play Thracia
-GENESIS: Some good action game sbut way less then SNES. Has shining force
-SEGA HANDHELDS: Never saw anything other then mediocrity
-GAME BOY: Everything worth playing has been remastered or remade
-N64: Only games made by Rare and Nintendo are worth playing. Very weak library
-PS1: Crash Bandicoot is good but it got ported. A console of JRPGs and Survival Horror. Horror games aged weak because sux graphics. RPGs seems to have aged, their graphics are not as shiny and they were never mechanically deep to begin with
-PS2: One of the best libraries ever. Every genre has something good.
-Dream cast: Console that was known for having about a dozen really cool exclusives that got ported. Still need to play Jetset.
-GAMCUBE: Some good Nintendo exclusives
-XBOX: Everything good has been remade or ported except Gun Valkyrie which I still need to play
-GBA/DS/3D: Some good metroidvanias, Etrian.
-PSP/VITA: Just jrpgs.
-All further consoles: There's maybe 6 good games on each console that are not on the PC.

Best libraries: Arcade, NES, SNES, PS2

-ARCADE: Lots of games that amoung the best in their genre.
-PRE NES: Shitty graphics and just endurance tests of how long you can loop the same section for score.
-NES: Great library of action games
-MASTER SYSTEM: Just seems like a library of worst action games then NES
-SNES: Great library of action games. A few good rpgs, adventures, and metroidvanias. Still need to play Thracia
-GENESIS: Some good action game sbut way less then SNES. Has shining force
-SEGA HANDHELDS: Never saw anything other then mediocrity

computer edition

Apple II: lots of RPG adventure and strategy games which helped define those genres, some decent action stuff but many of its best games were ported to other machines with better sound and graphics. And there's more eduware than anyone will ever need.
Atari 8-bit: Some great action games, a fair bit of obvious lazy Apple II ports. The market died in North America after 85 and it only got shitty Eurojank after that.
VIC-20: Primitive Atari 2600-like games, mostly action stuff a few text adventures. The Atari 2600 also has more colorful graphics and smoother animation due to proper hw sprites.
C64: Some great action games but a lot of its best stuff is adventures/RPGs/strategy titles. A lot of the PAL library is appalling Eurojank (though there's still some gems in there if you know where to look).
ZX Spectrum: Some interesting and imaginative games mixed in with many thousands of utter garbage titles made by literal teenagers with no programming experience.
Amstrad CPC: Useless hunk of shit that got nothing but Spectrum ports that run at 10 fps
Amiga: The sit-down computer genres are better on here than the large amounts of terrible Eurojank and arcade "ports"
Atari ST: Just a worse Amiga. There's nothing on here you need to play.
Pre-VESA PCs: Outside Sierra adventures generally rather shitty with lots of eye rape CGA/EGA graphics and bleepy sound. Many games are found on other, more capable machines.
MSX: A solid Japanese library with many fair to great action titles and RPGs. The less said about its European library the better.
JPCs: Action games that run at 10 fps and hentai/Wizardry/weeb storybooks are basically what these have to offer. Don't bother.
Classic Macs: A lot of eduware and some really weird and unique games along with the occasional PC port. An acquired taste but certainly not without its own unique flavor.

>Best libraries: Arcade,
Agree.

>NES,
Disagree, SMS beat it in terms of quality with the likes of Dragon's Trap (best 3rd gen Willyvania), Alex the Kid in Miracle World (best 3rd gen scotformer), Renegade (best 3rd gen jab 'n jog), and Outrun (best pass 'n gas).

>SNES
Haha, no. The Mega Drive thoroughly trounces it in everything except maybe jarpigs.

>PS2
Dreamcast got the better arcade-y original titles. PS2 has too much casual shit, moviegames, jarpigs, etc., but not enough real games.

NES and SNES just have bigger libraries of good games owing to them just having more games period. It would be easy to come up with 20-30 games worth playing on both consoles. Much harder to do that with a sega system.

PS2 isn't that much if you just want arcade games (although Shattered Soldier, Neo Contra, Gradius 5, and a ton of other shmups can get your fix) but the console has a ton of variety again owing it to just having more games. Some of the best 3D hack n slash and survival horror are on there. Some good JRPGs and 3D platformers. FPS games too if you think console shooter is a valid category.

>what fucking games are even on this thing besides Phantasy Star?
There's a few others: Dragon's Trap, Ninja Gaiden, Asterix, Golden Axe Warrior, Fantasy Zone.
>Garbage library.
For the most part, yes.

Don't really care much about any of the old Atari stuff, like the 2600, 5200, and 7800, nor a lot of the really old computers. It's fascinating from a historical perspective, reading about them, listening to old timers talk about their experiences and what not, but 99% of these games just don't engage me at all.

To me, videogames get really interesting in the mid 80s and forward. Modern ones aren't all too interesting, but once every few years there's something that I'll like, and the vast majority of all my 'fresh' vidya experiences is a game which is at least several years old. Back in 2018, my GOTY experiences were a game from 2013 and one from 1994.

I love computer games, my very favorite game is a computer game, but I'm not that interested in 'too simple' computer games. A Commodore 64 can do some decent games, graphics are just ok, but the machine can really do a lot, however, when I look at something like a ZX Spectrum, I'm at a loss at what I see on screen.

It wasn't that big in the west, but most people who had them then grew up with a strong love for shumps and beatemups. It's a console with a cult following, because even if it wasn't widely popular in most places, it did things right and had some great games worth playing.

>>7769836
Actually, yes, because unlike the ZX Spectrum, the Apple II computer could actually do things, like have a roleplaying game, something the ZX just didn't have the memory or processing power to do, to give you an idea on how pitiful it was. The ZX can only BARELY do some videogames.

Ultima 4 may not look that amazing to a zoomer today, and it may be a little rudimentary, but you can roll a character, save and load your game, recruit party members, explore the world, etc. Even if it's all stickfigures and squiggles, it is in fact a full videogame.

Memory and CPU power were not an issue here--the Spectrum had a more powerful CPU than the Apple II and the same amount of memory as the II+ machines which the Ultima games were targeted at. The issue was really about storage--RPGs need a disk drive not cassettes. Cassette storage really only works with a game that has a linear level progression.

By ratio, maybe, but I think that Sega didn't really get into form until the Genesis, where they tore absolute ass.

And stuff like early adventure games, Lode Runner, Jumpman, Shamus, and Montezuma's Revenge can all be actually completed--they're not just run up the high score until you keel over from exhaustion like arcade games.
