For the record, The Mad Blogger chooses the Super Nintendo System (SNES). Here is his complete list.

1. Super Nintendo System (SNES).
2. Nintendo Entertainment System (NES).
3. Atari 2600
4. Wii.
5. Nintendo Gameboy.

SNES is really great... ! I see Blogger is a Nintendo fan, so am I...
it's something in the challenging gameplay that Nintendo does, that
is frustratingly addictive.

Here's mine... (difficult to put in order)

1. Atari 2600
2. SNES
3. Intellivision
4. NES
5. Odyssey 2

If I had to choose just one, I'd take Commodore 64. If that's not a console, then... any of my top 3... would be nice!

Excellent choices, Jake. The Intellivision? How did The Mad Blogger overlook that one? Wow! Thanks for posting.

But seriously though I think the Pippin is pretty awesome and doesn't get enough love.

Yeah, the Pippin rules.  I might like Samwise just a bit better.  Frodo is probably the best.

Okay seriously, here are my answers:

1. SNES - The king, no doubt in my mind.  I can revisit about 20 games on the system like they were old friends.
2. PS3 - Underrated in it's own time, this machine has made me feel like a kid again.  I friggin' love it.  Plus, it only does everything.
3. NES - I've spent the most time with this console and know the library better than any system I've ever played.  I hate getting older, but I feel privileged to grow up with an NES.
4. GBA - What the SNES would have continued producing if it had a lifespan that lasted until 2005.  Poorly implemented 3D pervaded consoles, but on handhelds, 2D was king.
5. TG-16/PCE (and CD add on) - The library of shoot-em ups alone warrants a place on this list, but I've found so much enjoyment reliving these games through the virtual console on a system I never owned, but should have.

I'm looking at this list, and I'm very satisfied with it and the placement.  These are definitely my five favorite consoles.  The PS2 should be up there, but the more I play my PS3 it makes it harder to go back to that transitional period where 3D games started getting good.  Plus, most of the best PS2 games have been ported in HD to the PS3 anyway.  No harm, no foul.

6. Atari 2600
