I'm voting for the Mega Drive purely for the nostalgia. When my brother gave me Mega Games 2 with Shinobi, Streets of Rage, and Golden Axe, I was absolutely over the moon
 
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.

SNES. I went to secondary school between 91 and 96 so most of my playtime was done there with school friends, then I went to university from 97 which was around the time PS appeared around here in Argentina; by then I was no longer interested in gaming so I skipped all those other generations. But most of the people down here had Sega Genesis/Megadrive, so it was hard finding new games for SNES.
 
Choosing between SNES and PS1 (my favorite two consoles) is like choosing a favorite child, I'm going to bitch out and abstain from voting lol.
 
I never owned a SNES as a kid which is a damn shame. For me it was the N64, and PS1 following closely behind. Game Boy also ranked high on the list but missing from the options.
 
I played most on N64 due to the multiplayer factor (MK, MP, GoldenEye etc), but it's absolutely nowhere near as good as SNES and PSX.

SNES was incredible compared to N64. If you were to do a Top 25 games list composed of the two libraries, at least 20 of them would be SNES games.

Then you have PSX which had a comparable if not better library compared to SNES, especially factoring all the IP that started or became a thing here.
 
SNES was my first console and it'll always be my favorite.

I loved Dreamcast too, at launch it felt like having an arcade machine at home, it was so far ahead of everything else.
 
I see not much love for the 3DO, I guess its price point was a thorny issue, but as a system in of itself, it was more than capable of bringing true 32 bit gaming home.. certainly a lot better than the competition at the time - Atari Jaguar, 32x and CD32....and in the initial years of the PlayStation and Saturn could have held its own till the M2 arrived...

Isn't the poll too dependent on which console your parents bought you back in the 90s?

I doubt most players had several consoles to choose from.
