Can you really put a modded XBox? That's kind of unfair. It's like the system standing on merits that aren't it's own (especially if emulators are one of your reasons).

Anyway, in no particular order....because I can't do that and even this list will change depending on the day of the week:

Sega Master System
Genesis
SNES
Playstation

and ummm....I don't know what takes the last spot. How about a couple of honorable mentions, instead (I know I'm overstaying my welcome...sorry!!)?

N64- It really didn't have a whole lot of notable games, not nearly enough to make my top 5 list, but it DOES have my two favorite games of all time- Mario 64 and Ocarina of Time.

Dreamcast- any system that bore PSO, Skies of Arcadia, and ESPECIALLY Jet Grind Radio (one of my all time faves) deserves a mention.

Gamecube- Tied for the most underrated system of all time along side.......Sega Master System. No, the Dreamcast doesn't deserve this title. It was just a really cool system that Sega had to ditch after two years because of the bed they made. At least the Master System lasted 3 (

) and the Gamecube went the full five....sort of.

Nintendo DS- give it a couple years and it WILL be on my top 5 list. It just lacks the RPG's (and time) to do it now.

Finally, the PSP- if for no other reason than them bringing it to market forced Nintendo to make the DS as awesome a software platform as it has been, rather than turning it into an N64 port machine (like the GBA predominantly was for 16 bit games in the its first 3-4 years on the market).

Sorry this is so long. I get into crap like this. It makes for cool discussions.
