Consoles were certainly better gaming devices than IBM PC compatibles before the early to mid 90s, considering before there were no graphical acceleration options available for them at all . Plus DOS was basically a bad 8086 port of CP/M, the Japanese did far better computers based on the x86 archit...

I think Amiga is better than SNES

I think comparing NES to the 80s IBM PC is fair, considering early PC was supposed to be so much more powerful but yet it sucked. And C64 games beat most PC games well into the 286 era. Still, graphics amd CPU speed are much higher on the NES than the C64 so the NES wins this contest as well.

Thanks for this explaination about how things went in your area during the 90s. I guess in the early 90s your country was very hurt because of the communism so it make sense you had Famiclones like Russia and China. It's fun how you mention you had pirated NES and PS1, but not any pirated SNES or M...

And this, dear folks, was what you got if you hadn't got an EGA or VGA card (expensive in that time).

They both have ups and downs.

I agree.

And to respond to the "but in THE US PS1 came out in 1995..." (is everything outside US "Harry Potter universe" for some folks?). Whatever. USA is not closer to me than Japan. What matters is that it runs 3D games on 1994 hardware. It came out in Europe in 1995 too, but it is a J...

But then EGA (16 colors out of 2bpc RGB) is not too far from the Master System. This works only in 640x350. Due to IBM wanting compatibility of EGA in 200 lines modes with CGA monitors, only the 16 CGA text mode palette colors can be displayed in 200 line modes (640x200, 320x200 etc.). That is why ...

A set of this generation's consoles cost around 1,250 USD at launch. Remember the memetic "five hundred ninety-nine U.S. dollars"? The only place where consoles are still clearly cheaper is in local multiplayer. Major PC game developers seem to have the mentality that nobody owns a USB ga...

Anyways, sorry folks if I am behaving too agressively, but...: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MqYpnKRM9So&feature=related PC textures look 10x better, and although it wasn't shown in this video, the interiors on 360 look like absolute shit compared to my PC. All hail glorious PC master race. Th...

Well, in general, PC gaming is better than any other console, in my opinion of course. Here in Brazil, a game for X360 is R$200,00 but the PC version is R$99,00 (or less). In hardware terms, for a desktop PC, you can upgrade it. :) I got a decent desktop PC, a Core i5, just need to buy a decent vid...

I agree, also, Prince of Persia 1 and 2 were very well done.

Rather they spout bullshit about how the PS3 verson of Skyrim sucks compared to the PC one because some tetures are not as sharp pn PS3 with 256 MB RAM as on their 8 GB RAM PC, disregarding that a 256 MB RAM PC would not even install the game That has two reasons. First, the PS3 OS is much lighter ...

Apparently, Japan is Harry Potter universe, because the console there came out on 3rd of December of 1994. Stop trying being funny when you are wrong please. I find this sentence hilarious. He's right, so how is he wrong? Look up freaking wikipedia for god's sake. The PSX did come out in 1994.

Apparently, Japan is Harry Potter universe, because the console there came out on 3rd of December of 1994. Stop trying being funny when you are wrong please. And "free speech" in regards to video games has lead to the great videogame crash in 1983. In fact 1 of the main factors why NES sus...
