okay, so i thought about it during my shower and came up with a methodology I figured would make this as accurate as possible.
1. i listed every system i owned
2. i listed every game i truely loved on each system
3. i ranked the games in order for individual systems
4. then i made my full list by only considering which game i loved the most from the top of each individual system's list.
I came up with this:
It should be noted that I have a sort of anti-recency bias in that i don't play games until they drop in price so games tend to be 1-2 years old. So here are some games i expect will be in my list if only I had played them:
Most beloved systems (as indicated by most beloved games):
ps3
ps4
snes
nes and psvita tied
gc and wii tied
ps2 and pc tied
n64
dreamcast, gb, and mobile tied
seems legit other than PC which is where i played my number 1 most favorite game ever.
