    PSX (aka PlayStation/PS1) is possibly the best ever. The Atari2600 and NES both had far more ? games than good games, The Sega Genesis/Megadrive and SNES had better quality-to-? ratios, but the PSX had too many classics and more than enough good games to outweigh the handful of craptastic games that were released for it.

    PS2 and XBox don't count because by the time they were released, games began to rely more on graphics horsepower over actual game experience.

    Didnt even drop outside Japan.

    PSX is the Japanese name for the original Playstation during development and was used when referring to the Japanese version in American magazines. Also, Playstation emulators refer to the machine as a PSX.

    that came out long after the fact. Google "Gamepro 1996 psx"; all of their Playstation reviews fall under the "PSX" platform because that's what it was widely known as. Trust me on this, I worked a second job at Funcoland from Nov 1995 to May 1996. I sold 'em by the truckload and they were referred to as the PSX.

    We were all calling 'em the PSX in 1996, well before this thing came out. Take a look through any video game magazine from 1995 through 1998, it was called a PSX. Many guys, like myself, were really keen on the name if you owned a first gen American Playstation with the SCPH1001 BIOS because these were the only machines that could boot a Japanese game without having to hack the machine (insert an American CD, let it boot to the Sony logo, then immediately swap out the US game for a Japanese game).

    SNES number one. I'll say PS2 next because you can play PS games on them also.

    SNES and PS2 tied, SNES was my childhood, PS2 was my teenage years. Both have ridiculously great games on them that are still relevant today.

    Honestly, the system in the pic (DVR) is what was released as the PSX, but only in Japan. Somehow, the name PSX got mixed up with the PS1. You're right, the PS1 is referred to as the PSX in the US, but it was never meant to be. People saw the name and got it mixed up with a product that never came this side.

    Goldeneye 64
    Mario 64
    Smashbrothers
    Perfectdark
    Zelda Ocarina Of Time
    Flying Dragon (underrated game)
    Silicon Valley(funny ass game)
    Mario Cart
    Madden 99
    WWF Wrestlemania
    WCW/NWO Revenge
    WWF No Mercy (the goat)
    Mortal Combat Trilogy

    good times right there
