Which System?

[M I K E]

I grew up with an N64, and it's clearly wayyy better than the Playstation. No loading times and much better games available. I know those controllers were rediculously weird, but I mean come on, remember Super Smash Bros. and Mario Kart?

[Landlord]

N64 was great, but PS1 was incredible.

 

 

Seriously both consoles rank in the top 10 all time, but PS1 was just...amazing. The only thing that topped it was PS2, which was pretty much perfection.

[M I K E]

Come on people, vote! You've got nothing better to do!

 

 

[redout22]

No doubt N64 was soooooo much better. Not even close.

Lets see there was the Playstation one then it went to the PS2 which is still the top selling unit to this date 10 years later with over 140 million units sold worldwide. Now there is the PS3 with the Blu Ray capability and jaw dropping graphics.

 

It went from the Nitendo to the Super Nitendo to the N64 and then Nitendo dropped off and came back almost 10 years later with the Wii which I think is a joke and a worthless console but thats just me.

 

Nothing beats the Playstation hands down

N64

 

Golden Eye, and the wrestling games like NWO VS WCW and Wrestlemania 2000.

 

I spent so much time playing those games!

PS1 was graphically superior to the N64, but Sony didn't have the same quality of games IMO. Zelda OOT blew my mind when I first played it.

 

Every generation of Playstation has been technologically saavy, there's no denying that.

I had both, first a PS then sold it and got a 64. I would have to pick PS1 as better, had a lot of great games for N64 but PS1 was a little ahead graphics wise then the N64.

Actually the N64's graphics were significantly better, at least potentially, than PS1, due to it being 64-bit (as opposed to 32-bit for Sony). The capability was there, but due to the cartridges and their limited space a lot of developers stretched out textures which made a lot of games look blurry. However, the textures in a lot of games were significantly smoother than PS1 games, and the resolutions were generally a bit better as well.

Key word there was potential. The textures in N64 were a joke. Expansion pack games like Zelda MM did a much better job with them though. Also, the sound was much better on the PS1. The limited cartridge space forced most sounds in N64 games' sounds to be compressed into MIDI files.

[Landlord]

The overwhelming majority of sounds on both consoles were MIDI based anyways, but you are right. The N64 is a lot like the PS3 was in it's early years. Technologically speaking it has the greatest potential of any but due to poor development that potential has rarely been reached.

I just picked up a PS3 Slim not too long ago. It's definitely a slick system. Now I just need to get some games...
