I heard a while back that the C64 had the most commercial games of any computer or console. Something like 10,000. At the end of the day even if every console or computer had that many unique games (and does the same game ported to another computer count?) then you would need 100 different consoles and computers. Splitting, for example, the Speccy 48k, 128k, +2, +3, SAM, etc would be difficult what with the vast amount of games that work on all the systems, and the much smaller amount of games that only work on each individual system. Anyhow, I think we can safely say there isn't 100 different consoles or computers that all produced 10,000 unique commercial games. Nah.

Aaaahhh... the TurboGrafx 16, which has been called the PC Engine. But it's not a PC computer unfortunately Wasn't that system released in the UK? Can't believe I actually bought one.

Yeah the PC Engine was released here (and it was called the PC Engine!) - it had awesome games, and they were SO expensive too - especially the incredible CD based ones at the time. Almost like the original Neo Geo, except not THAT insane price-wise. At the moment on my Wii's VC I play more TurboGrafx games than I do actual Wii ones - Bomberman being my favourite. I'm near the end of World 3 at the moment.

Yah, the system had great games. I believe it was the first 16-bit system to be released.

And the games were little credit-card shaped cartridges too if I remember correct. Then NEC made TurboExpress which was a handheld console that used the exact same game carts! Pretty sweet, but it died a quick death.

A note on the slimline ps2. It´s build quality is far from great and some versions even have plastic lasers. Be careful with second hand games as they may end up wearing out the crud laser. Also if you´re getting a chip (A good idea- I finished Okami months ago and I think it hasn´t even come out here yet.) Make sure only to use the best discs. (Not the solid gold ones but the best mass produced ones.) Man. A love my ps2. Though my cube thrashes the ps2 for gamming this year (Zelda) I expect that to change once exam period ends I can get into FF12 seriously.

A hardcore fanboy like me can't pass up this thread!


Yes. About 3% of the PS1 games don't work, but those are mostly the silly titles that you'd have a hard time finding anyway.


Neither is remarkably heavy. The slimline PS2 is small enough to fit in your pocket if you have cargo pants and most young children could carry it with one hand.


It depends on the age of the game. Some older titles are around $9.99 or less, including most PS1 games. If you get a Playstation Greatest Hits game (with the red bar at the top of the box), those usually run about $19.99 in the US. Newer titles typically end up costing $29.99 to $49.99.


I first bought a Playstation 2 when the console initially launched, way back in October of 2000. It lasted up to October of this year... a full six years, give or take a week or two, and I've replaced it with a silver slimline PS2. I have friends who still have their launch PS2 in mint condition and they've never had a problem with it. The console will last as long as you take good care of it .


Hundreds. But lets narrow it down to the best in each Genre. First off, you should consider getting the staple-games of the Playstation, games that every fan needs to have. The Metal Gear series is incredible. definitely check those out. But a warning, MGS 2 was extremely FMV-heavy... it's like a movie with spurts of interactivity. The Getaway games are classic, especially The Getaway 2: Black Monday. You can explore the streets of London, and unlike the silly "True Crime" games, the Getaway games actually simulate the actual buildings throughout London as they appear in real life. Gran Turismo is Sony's award-winning racing simulation series, and unlike most racing games, the Gran Turismo series is known for having massive catalogs of real cars (the largest collections of any racing games). Gran Turismo 4 has over 700 cars in it, and you can race those on over 50 different real-world racetracks, and the graphics are magnifique. Oh, and all of the cars can be modified, and I'm not talking about changing the paint color... you can change every factor of the car's performance, from adding turbo and natural aspiration systems to modifying the toe angles of the tires... it's the ultimate racing/ driving simulator. Then there's the obvious series' of games. All of the Grand Theft Auto games are available, from the original top-down GTA on the PS1 to Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas on the PS2. The Syphon Filter games were fun, imo. If you're into RPG games, the Playstation has the Final Fantasy series, and I strongly recommend Final Fantasy VII, that's a classic. Ugh, I could go on for days! If you're into FPS games (and you seem to be), check out the Medal of Honor and Call of Duty games. But don't even rent "Big Red One," that was arguably the worst WWII game I've ever played. Anyway, the catalog is enormous... you'll have literally thousands of games to play with a PS2 (to be exact, there's 7,902 PS1 titles and 8,181 PS2 titles). That's a whopping 16,083 games to choose from. I doubt anyone has ever played them all


I remember that console. I still have a few of the games for it, they came on those cool little credit card looking things.

Well, if I owned a ps2, I'd get Okami, FFXII, the Jak games, and other games of that sort. I'd also get all the ps1 spyro games...
