Initially, I got myself a Cube, mainly to play Nintendo and Rare games while the multi-format titles and other things I was playing on the PC (also got several Xbox ports), but I wasn't totally happy with the purchase, some of the games disappointed me a bit and it also missed out on some games I wanted to play back then (although that was also the time when I became more PC-focused). Much later on, I experienced the Dreamcast too, but I never had a PS2 or Xbox (my first Xbox was the 360). I have to say some PS2 games were very good, although not that suited for my taste. There are still some Xbox games I haven't wrapped myself onto such as NGB, Otogi and Panzer Dragoon Orta.
When it comes to GameCube, I'm now able to appreciate it more than I did back then but I still remember it as the Nintendo system that lost them Rare and pushed them out of the competitive race, hence the Wii taking a bit different path.
What about you, which console of that era did you like best and why?
Discuss.
