No, what I meant was if you took all of your usage from all of your systems and made it equal 100% and then broke it down into more superficial numbers that help us understand which systems you used most, and which least, notice that all my percentages equal 100%.

I take it that you didn't like the Dreamcast. Only 1%? What did you feel was so wrong about it? I personally like it alot. I'm pissed that its no longer worthwhile to have. I played Shenmue for it and thought it was cool, but I'll never get to finish the entire game since it was going to be 7 parts, and they stopped production after 2. Fucking bastards. But the games I thought were good and the graphics were great, well not great, but definitely good.

it's not that i don't like it, it's that it broke the week i got it and was never fixed. never got to really play it that much. (note: the percentages aren't ratings)

It broke the week you got it?!?!? That fucking sucks ass dude. And yeah I knew that they weren't rating and that they were percentages, it was just that it was at 1% and thatwas an extremely low amount. I figured it was for not liking it, not for broken equipment.

I have no idea of usage, I just played them to death when I got them.

ZX Spectrum 80 & 81, 48K, 128k, and 128k+3
Playstation 2
PS-One
Atari
NES
SNES
Powerbase & Master System
Mega Drive
Mega CD
32X
Saturn
Gameboy (da monochrone one)
Jaguar

I still have them all.

The top usage ones would probably be PS2, PS-One, and Mega Drive.

Although the Spectrums I owned were used a HELL of a lot, but not always for games.

I also have had a lot of PC's over the years. Including an 8088 which was 4.?Mhz with 2048Mb Memory, and a whopping 40Mb HDD that had to have its head parked before you moved the machine.


Thanks. Find out exactly what to think, next.

I'm afraid I've left this forum, please read

SNES-5% (barely)
Dreamcast-8% (barely)
PS 1-37.5%
PS 2-37.5%
PC-1% (I don't play it any more)

Just love Pong, don't you? lol..btw Atari, Gameboy, Sega CD, Jaguar, & N64 is lame. At least no one mentioned 3D0 & Lynx..
