Game Boy,a Dream,and a 64-bit toilet seat

Console-wise I have done GameCube(16/20),Saturn(17/20), Nintendo DS(19/20), and Sega Game Gear(16/20) reviews. I want tom ention my favorites for each sustem

GameCube: Super Mario Sunshine(19.5/20)
Saturn: NiGHTS into Dreams(19.5/20)
Nintendo DS: Yoshi's Island DS (20/20)
Sega Game Gear: Sonic the Hedgehog 2(20/20)

Now I'd like the review the following Dreamcast,Game Boy, and Jaguar

Now the cream of the crop here is clearly Dreamcast but well let's just see how the other 2 compare


Game Boy

Games:20/20(Like all Nintendo systems[except Virtual Boy and GameCube) just any game you can think of,is there Poof! just like that)

Graphics:15/20(Like Saturn this one is hard to tell Saturn's problem depended on 2D-3D,whereas this handheld grapples with Black and White vs Color for Black and White it has graphics that can excell to SNES but with color the competitors clealry win on this one)

Design:14/20 (Game Gear had a black design that looked like a trapezoid,Game Boy looked like a gray brick with a green screen but a little lighter than Game Gear and and an ok button design)

Technology: 19/20 (At the time only the Lynx had better technology,Game Gear came out after Game Boy anyway it had graphics like NES sometimes SNES but in black and white,it had the best battery life and yeah)

Final:17/20(If it was in color,it coulda' gained a perfect but nothing could match Lynx in technology)

Favorite Game: Super Mario Land 2:6 Golden Coins

Now onto SEGA's final attempt to gain market lead from SONY and most technologically juiced up for the time maybe it really is a DREAMcast

Dreamcast

Games:19/20(Though it only had about 200 games like N64 the games had such quality it almost trumped quantity but it just didn't quite have Game Boy's,NES,DS',Genesis', or Xbox's quality with quantity)

Graphics:20/20(Like N64,SNES,Master System, and PlayStation 3 graphics were top-notch I mean some games looked better than even current PS2 games games like Dead or Alive 2 or Jet Grind Radio,those graphics were a stunning leap from former graphics master Nintendo 64)

Design:20/20 (Like N64 or Atari 7800 this console is one of the most cosmectically atrractive console in existence,it's so pearly white it really is like a piece of heaven[not to be sac-religious] when it opens it looks soo nice mmm)

Technology:18/20(While it had online access and a Game Boy like memory crad it also had outdated media that couldn't hold much,not to mention it had slow loading because of crappy CD and sometimes it was all useless[and you thought PS2 was bad)

Final:19/20(This is by far SEGA's best system beating out Genesis by 1 score and Saturn by 2 it had everything it needed to make the perfect souflet,SEGA just didn't put the ingredients in at the right time nor cook it for the right time)

Favorite Game: Samba de Amigo

Now finally last and this time certainly by far least "64-bit", cartridge using,crappy game plagued........

Atari Jaguar

Games:5/20(Though there are a few killers out there like Rayman,Iron Soldier,SkyHammer,Alien vs Predator,Raiden, and Worms about 5/6 of them were crap that's roughly 50/60 that's right JUST SIXTY GAMES so basically I named all the good ones might I add Fight for Life is the 5th worst game ever,still better than 3D0's average at 2)

Graphics: 15/20(Things look much better for Jaguar here,for 2D graphics this console might be the best after of course Saturn,for 3D except for SkyHammer and Alien vs Predator few games even remotly looked good still Rayman,Raiden,Cannon Fodder, and Bubsy had some good 2D graphics but it was supposed to have 64-bit,3D graphics none of that is there)


Design:12/20(While very creative and not that bad it looks a bit like a toilet seat,I  do like the courve though still the middle button and terrble cartridge slot killed it)

Technology: 8/20(Like Saturn,not even the maker itself couldharness such power,oh no it took 10 years for the real stuff to come,it was supposed to be 64-bit but even Sky Hammer didn't look 64-bit oh yes certainly about Crash Bandicoot graphics but still)

Final:10/20(Most people would bash this system down to the bone,I wouldn't put it that far down can't say it's my favorite either still better than 7800,it's graphics could be very good,and the design is ok,but I guess it's games that count and since 5/6 suck well you know)

Favorite Game: Rayman

Up next 3Do,Lynx,and Xbox on consoles
