  Dreamcast was a major letdown for Sega when you look at all their other great consoles, I still have a Mega Drive in the house and whenever I get the chance to I play it, Sonic, Mortal Kombat - love playing the Mega Drive
  
  Saturn was good too, Manx TT Superbikes Sheep Cheat rules

  I gotta say I've had them all from the snes onwards, with the exception of the saturn. I was a huge sega nut, and I think the mega drive pips the SNES for me just on the basis of it's superior port's of street fighter, mortal kombat and having streets of rage!

  Oh and I have to jump in and defend the dreamcast, it was a brilliant console, the saturn was a let down, a console with no sonic game and one of the hardest development kits the industry had seen up till then. The dreamcast made some mistakes, but it was brilliantly designed and had some fantastic games.

  The Megadrive / SNES era of gaming was my favourite. I think the SNES just edged the Megadrive for me though.
  
  They really don't seem so great playing them now though. Some things are perhaps best left to be fond memories.

  I will have to go with the mega drive. It just had so many classic franchises that stick in my mind. The full Mortal Kombat, Sonic games, Zombies, Ecco the dolphin. The list could go on forever. That's not to say the SNES doesn't have its place, but the mega drive definitely wins for me. It is a shame Sega lost its way in the video game market for a long time.

  Megadrive or SNES, has to be one of the two. Sonic, Mario, Donkey Kong, Star fox. So much better than what you get today. Goldeneye on the N64 deserves a mention too

  The N64 did have some nice games that is true: Goldeneye, Mario Kart, Ocarina of time etc. But I think that is probably considered more modern than the mega drive or the SNES, not to say it isn't retro of course.

  For me it's got to be the Megadrive, if only for Sonic!

  I'd say if we're going back and looking at the best retro console, for nostalgia I'm opting for the mega drive, so modern replayability the SNES, and for groundbreaking awesomeness, the NES.

  I have a super nintendo in the loft and it still works and brings hours of entertainment still.
  
  I found my old gamecube too, yes you remember that ha, and even that was fun!. games like timesplitters 2, tiger woods golf and formula 1 covered a good few genres depending what mood u are in, and i found old games in shops for about a quid a pop, so it is well worth investing a tenner or so in this and having a few more hours entertainment.
