PS2 by far, it was such a huge leap forward and the games looked unreal at the time.
SSX and Armored Core were my jam

I don't know how I forgot to include AMIGA in my list. Remember not being able to sleep at night from the excitement. My late dad got me AMIGA500 , 1080S monitor, 2nd floppy drive and 512 MB ram expansion. This was late 1988 and I was "floating on the water" for months. Cinemaware games, Sword Of Sodom graphics blew my 15 yr ol mind. Best times ever.the Amiga 500
As a poor kid I couldn't afford the 1000 when it came out as it was around £1599 and marketed as a business machine.
i had, however, seen defender of the crown running on it at one of the Novotel computer shows at launch.
how I lusted after it and the disappointment of that price was a hard cross to bear.
luckily savvy heads prevailed and the A500 launch In 1987 provided me with the opportunity to purchase this halo computer.
Taken for granted now, but that bouncing ball multitasking demo still blew me away when I played it.
oh and ray tracing.... who remembers the juggler demo
Yeah it was amazing, Soul Calibur alone must've sold millions of consoles during it's life time, felt like having an arcade machine at home.Dreamcast and it exceeded every expectation.
The Dreamcast 100%, being able to play online for the first time on a console was mindblowing, Phantasy Star Online
Too bad so many of the games ended up stuck in Japan only, but at least today everything is playable through emulator.
