I have many favorites and hates:

Favs
Nintendo:
NES-Zelda rules and you can't beat the classics
SNES- Starfox, Super Metroid, many more jewels
N64- Oot, Majora's Mask and Goldeneye, ergonomic controller
GCN- Twilight Princess, Starfox Assault, cute cube

Sega:
Genesis (and CD/32x): Sonic CD, Shadow Squadron, Sonic 1-3.
Saturn: VF2, NiGHTS, Sonic R, Panzer Dragoon
Dreamcast: Easy to pirate, dual blade controller, VMU, Sonic AdV 1&2, Virtual On:OT, many more

Hated:
Sony PS series: All cruddy poor construction, over priced
Nomad: Poor battery life, bad caps
Atari 7200: Weaker than 5800, bad gfx
My machines:
PowerMac G4 MDD 1.5ghz 1.25GB 10.5.8 & MOS 2.7
Mac Mini C2D 10.6.8 2GHz 3GB 250GB HDD
MacBook Retina 16GB 256GB SSD 10.8
iPad 2
Underground Gamer invites (a classic game site) PM

Need a part for a PC or Mac? PM me, I\'ll let you know if I come across it.

OS X trumps Windows on every level.

MorphOS, OS4 and Classic Amiga systems are the only ones who are real \'Amigas\', not that joke AROS or Amiga Forever.

Hated them so much you refuse to even get their names right!

Ah, my fault: Dumb and dumber are their names aren't they? Or was it 5200 and 7800? Naw, it was dumb and dumber :)

the Saturn's 3D looked crappy compared to the PS1 (although the actually hardware looked cooler)

Actually, the HW of the Saturn was better, but it was under utilized due to bad dev kits, poor third party games and bad choice of memory management (For instance, only one SH-2 could access mem registers at a time, VF2 used one CPU for each player)
