Your comments:

"I like the consoles myself. I don't like the graphics that portable games give me, and I think the arcades are too old, and that the PC is the devil." Keith, Lisbon

"There should have been a choice for both PC and Consoles combined. It's hard to choose one or the other because the games on most consoles are the same games as on a PC. Also the graphics are alike if you have a high performance computer." M.S.G., Addison

"There are some games that they only make for PC that are awesome, and there are games that they only make for console that are awesome. They should have been a combined choice for PC and console together. There is never a choice for people that like both." I.Z., Lisbon

"What about board games? Thats a good game platform which you neglected to mentioned. Video games are more violent than board games tend to be." R.S., Lisbon

"I personally use a piece of software called Connectix Virtual Game Station and a Gravis GamePad Pro controller on my iMac. That way, I can pop my PlayStation CDs right into my computer's CD-ROM drive and get the best of both worlds. :o) " B.L., Watertown

"Consoles Rule, PCs Rule. To bad there are know choices for both Console and PC. (Whats up with that?)" Joe, Poquetanuck

"PCs are better by far because you can upgrade your PC." No Name, Saugatuck

"You are at an open door to a room. On the north wall to the room there is a bed. On the east wall a window with a blind that covers it. On the south wall there is another window, with a blind covering it as well. There is a trunk located on the floor beneath the south window. On the west wall there is a desk, beside the desk is another trunk with an electrical lamp located on top of it. And on the floor there is clothing scattered all over, you can barely see the rug underneath the clothes. " R., Lisbon
