    You can only save two of the following consoles, the other seven are gone forever (including all your memories of them), which TWO do you save? :eek:

    Seconded... I would save none and just carry on playing on my Windows XP PC connected up to a TV :cool:.

    I don't think anyone considers a Windows XP PC in 2024 to be part of the PC master race! :D

    Very difficult for me because I was obsessed with 3. Went with GameCube and Genesis (Mega Drive in my country) because I thought they'd get less votes than my precious N64 (goldeneye, beers, smash = a good time)

    I was stuck on three as well (SNES, N64 and Xbox 360), ultimately I decided to drop the SNES.

    It's still newer than most of the consoles in the list - only the Xbox 360 and the Wii are newer by at least a year - so if all those older consoles are allowed, so is the Windows XP :p

    Besides, it's a PC, so it is still part of the Master Race, especially as it plays a variety of classic games that newer PCs can't always run properly :cool:

    I also have a Windows 7 laptop and a Windows 11 one, but I'm still drawn to my faithful old Windows XP to play some absolute classics.

    Very surprising you've gone with the Xbox 360 as one of your choices, thought you were a PlayStation man what with you being regularly distracted by your PS5 and Elden Ring ;)

    That's not to bad then, I was beginning to fear that you somehow managed to run exclusively the Windows XP one!


    I've had a strange video game journey...

    [NES] → [SNES] → [N64] → [PS2] → *a hiatus from playing video games* → [Xbox 360] → [PS4] → [PS5]

    The Xbox 360 was the video game system that got me into modern gaming [online multiplayer, wireless controllers, etc.]. I was poised to get the Xbox One until their disastrous launch reveal scared me away into the arms of Sony. Haven't looked back since. That said, I have extremely fond memories of the Xbox 360. I played many great games on that system, especially Gears of War 2 & 3 and Skyrim!

    I do agree with this one.
    Of the given choices I only have a Ninentendo Wii... so that is the only one I will be able to save ;)

    Al other games are PC games for me

    Grrr, !mrahil

    PC Master Race. I will always go to the PC, for it never lets me down. With my PC, I can play genres that simply do not work on console (I tried to play the PS1 versions of Command and Conquer and Red Alert and had to sigh at the inferior experience), have better fine control than console on other genres (suck it controller kiddies, I have keyboard and mouse! The only objective improvement would be if the keyboard had an analogue stick for walking/running), and allows me to play my favourite game of all time with upwards of 250 mods at once (Suck it XBox, Morrowind on PC is the definitive version!).

    And that's not getting into non-gaming activities I can use my PC for. Truly the PC is the Jack of All Trades, Master of All!

    So yeah... my votes are PC. Followed by slightly older PC with an older operating system.

    But if I must vote amongst the peasantry...

    First Vote: It was a close one between PS1 and PS2, but I voted PS2 because that was the console where developers truly pushed the envelope, so many experimental games that were greenlit, so many franchises saw their genesis or their peak. After the PS2, that was when development reached the point where for developers it was too expensive to not follow the crowds and be a sheeple.

    Plus the PS2 can play PS1 games anyway, so by losing the PS1, I still have access to the games. Haha! Loophole abuse!

    Second Vote: Again it was a close one. Gamecube or N64? I went with N64, because that one has just about eeked out the nostalgia factor compared to the Gamecube, but it was close, and it doesn't feel good to tell my trusty Gamecube that its older brother was voted the favourite. Like telling the trusting young child that they are never going to live up to their brother's legacy.

    No loopholes. If you do away with the PS1, then the PS1 games go with it!

    :shifty:

    How fortunate for me that most ps1 games I care for have pc ports or were ports themselves anyway.

    Not gonna lie, losing Crash Bandicoot will hurt, but I stand by my choice.
