I'm personally partial to the 64 myself, but I am curious what you all are thinking too.

And I know some of these were released in the late 80s, but a bulk of their games were made in the 90s.

64 has the best memories due to multiplayer for me. Genesis is probably a more sentimental favorite. PSX is really up there too, but I got it late and vast majority of hours on that were in 99/2000 onwards. Awesome times, awesome consoles all around.

For me it's between the Mega Drive and the Playstation.
But the Playstation would be my top pick.
Gran Turismo, Tekken 2 and 3, Final Fantasy VII, Metal Gear Solid, Spyro the dragon, Wipeout 2097, Resident Evil, and many more.

It's a toss up between the SNES and the Sega Saturn for me.

Those two are both tied with the Switch for my all time favourite.

 

[Paasei]

SNES or Playstation for me.

 

[Victhemic]

100% PS1. Unbeaten library.

 

[PlayStaytion]

Some SNES games but on PC

PlayStation and some of them on PC

Dreamcast, I was 10 when this console released but I thought it'd be better to wait for the PS2, I actually have great memories playing sega consoles with my cousins, it's not like I know nothing about the platform, same thing with Nintendo.

PC, many great games, already my perfect platform since I was 8.

 

[MrJangles]

Dreamcast shat all over everything on that list.

 

[TKOFromTokyo]

The SNES had a vast library of incredible games in multiple genres. I believe it and PS2 are the consoles with the best libraries.

 

[Holammer]

Based on how much time I spent on them, it would be SNES, Playstation, Megadrive. In that order.
Trying to weigh them against each other turns into an impossible calculus, I might have spent most of the time on the SNES, but I really enjoyed my time with Buck Rodgers, Warriors of the Eternal Sun & Starflight on the Megadrive and the Playstation's library was mostly 3D slop which aged horribly. Does Symphony of the Night alone carry it?

 

[Trilobit]

SNES only because of DKC 1 & 2. I greatly enjoyed every other game, SMB, MK64, Crash, but those two I loved!

 

[Avid Reading Horse]

SNES for the front 9 and PlayStation for the back 9.

[nush]

Sega Saturn, I like Sega and I like arcade games and that's where they were concentrated.

 

[Impotaku]

Ps1 without a doubt, legendary games library full of really weird & inventive games. The birthplace of the rhythm game genre.

One of the console libraries I'll never sell, I still regularly play them. Even 30 years later I'm still finding hidden Japanese games I had no knowledge of. Interesting that some obscure stuff is been re-released in modern systems. Never in a million years thought miranos part time job collection & 70s robot anime geppy x would see re-releases.

 

[PeteBull]

Loved snes/megadrive/psx/saturn/n64 and dreamcast but clear winner was playstation here, for the simple reason of unprecented amount of high quality exclusive games, including but not only one of my fav genres- jrpgs

 

[Trunx81]

I would have said Game Boy, because you also included the Virtua Boy (clearly a handheld, not a console). Though as it was released in 1989, I'll go with the SNES.
I replay games from that console on a regular basis.

 

[MidGenRefresh]

I grew up in central / eastern Europe. My favorite 90's console was fake NES.

 

[Sohurmk833]

Close race between N64 and PSX with the SNES being a not too distant 3rd.

Which one wins pretty much depends on my mood. PSX had the far bigger library but some of the N64 games were just so groundbreakingly awesome that it made up for it. And it was not like i could afford more than a handful of games a year as a kid anyway.

 

[chilichote]

I switched from the Amiga to the PlayStation because it really blew me away in an electronics store! Ridge Racer ran on it, and that totally blew me away!

But I also really liked the SNES and the Saturn!

 

[keefged4]

N64 but honestly If I had a choice between everything listed here Vs everything that came after I'd choose the 90s consoles no question.
