The N64 was a more powerful system but Nintendo were still selling SNES games 
when the PS1 was released, which was more my point realy. The PS1 suffered
with slow loads but it had wayy more storage, which made it better for RPGs 
and anything else that needed more data. N64 games looked nicer but were
massively restricted in that way.

I dunno, I liked both systems although I was more a PS1 user. It was 
impressive what developers managed to get out of the system by the end of its
lifespan.
