Consoles that didnt leave a stamp on you

So I wanna know are there any consoles that you played but never really left a mark on you in anyway?

For me i think Nintendo after the N64 is more or less a blur, i dont really remember anything from the game cube, or wii for example. I remember playing things like Mario Galaxy and Resi remake, but i have to really think about it, where as Tomb Raider on the PS1, Timesplitters on the PS2, Golden Eye on the N64, Super Mario World etc etc etc all I remember clearly. To this day i could recite every game i had on the PS2 but ask me about my Game Cube and you will be met with lots of "ers"

The Dreamcast for me also falls into this bracket. I know i spent so many hours with Code Name Veronica, Shenmue, Crazy Taxi and Virtua Tennis - but i find it really really hard to remember these games. At the same time i can probably do a speed run through Halo.........

So are there any console(s) you had that didnt leave any lasting impression?

Dude i havent had time, bought the witcher and played about 10 minutes, got Wolfenstein on offer and at least put a few hours into that. But my ability to sit down and play for a couple of hours has been really limited recently

I meant just look into reviews/articles on it. Youre going to need about 40 hrs game time before you begin to get a feel for Dominions. Even then you will still lose to easy enemies.

If you ever get it and want to give multiplayer a go let me know. I dont know anyone who plays it and hate playing randoms.

If anything it will help us both learn it a bit quicker. Will let you know when a sale hits.

Amiga the next gen before the next gen was out! Wonderful memories here, that and the Atari ST. The only way to game before and during the SNES/MegaDrive era. Ah and floppy discs - oh the memories. SWOS, Cannon Fodder, Syndicate, the cod series, and Monkey Island!

Also I think Origin was giving Syndicate away free about a month ago. I dl'd it but haven't played it just yet. Get the minigun ftw

Cheers for that Rep will take a look at that later. Can't beat a bit of sensi

No worries mate

yeah it was definitely the best footy game I ever played really. Speedball 2 was the one that ruined most joysticks for me

Just seen it on Steam remastered in HD but I don't think it's worth the £11, might wait for a sale

Agree Raptor, I played so much of virtua tennis, till this day prob the best tennis game ever. Have to disagree with shenmue, it was one of the best games at the time, but nowadays doesn't really hold up, but we do need to thank it for its contribution to games as it certainly helped in many aspects of some game mechanics, unless shenmue 3 has some really amazing additions to game play it will get bad reviews, as the formula that made it so interesting almost 20 years ago won't hold up today.

I agree, I always think that the guys at Bioware were probably big fans of Shenmue. I think if it just sticks to it's original format then it will remain pretty dated as other games have done it better since 2001. If it's anything like the Witcher 3 but set in 1980's China then it will be a blast.

Not convinced though and I think it will leave fans of the originals pretty disappointed tbh.

Goldeneye on the N64 is the best shooter ever made
