Genesis is good, but SNES can destroy anything.

SNAKEeyes001 8 years 7 months ago Posts: 212	Oh yeah one more thing . Snes had better graphics only because it came out after Genesis. Nintendo saw what the Genesis had, so they came up with a more advanced game system. The same thing happened when Xbox came out after PS2, the Xbox produced a more advanced system. To tell you the truth there were a lot of crappy games for Genesis and Snes. Most of the worst games were based on TV shows or movies. Anyone want to play Addams Family or The Spot(7up mascot)?

JCU 8 years 7 months ago Posts: 355	While each system had its strengths and weaknesses, the only thing (in my opinion) that seperated the two was that the SNES had huge franchise titles that were riding sky high since the NES. For as good as many Genesis games were, nothing could compete with Mario, Metroid and Zelda. Sonic, Golden Axe, Altered Beast, Sword of Vermillion, etc.., all were very good but on name recognition alone, they couldn't compete through the end. As far as I am concerned, the only way to get a true feel and appreciation for both systems is to have lived and played them when they were hot. Playing them now, 15+ yrs later, still leaves out something that you could only get by playing in the early 90's. The competition and the feeling of the gaming industry doesn't come out when you play these systems now.

Anyone want to play Addams Family or The Spot(7up mascot)? i was fortunate to have both system, the purpose of my first job was to get both systems. the difference is very simple, the snes had a better color pallete so platfomer games look better. the genesis had a faster processor so it could handle 3d poligon games without coprossesing. sega genesis was so fast for the time that it could handle compressed video. some early examples are the intro movies in Mig 29 and desert strike. nintendo had to come up with the FX chip to have 3d polygon games but even then it did not have enough of them. looking back i would have to say that even though i prefered the genesis , the snes came up on top thanks to its catalog of games and nintendo advertising power. i did play the spot game, it was actually alot of fun.

System 8 years 7 months ago Posts: 74809	I think the Genesis. Sonic 2 is a top 10 game all time, and I really liked Road Rash 3 (I think that was it). Hitting people with chains and bats was awesome. My friend and I had some great times playing that.

Valderra 8 years 7 months ago Posts: 17	I like both the Mega Drive (Genesis) and the SNES equally much. I used to have both consoles and the games for both were equally great. Some of the games I still remember playing on the Mega Drive were: Alex Kid games Cosmic Spacehead Ecco the Dolphin Techno Clash Sonic the Hedgehog Some of the SNES games I remember playing are: Desert Strike Donkey Kong Final Fantasy Flashback (great game) Harvest Moon Jungle Strike Lost Vikings Super Mario Brothers and Yoshi's Island Secret of Mana Shadowrun (the best game ever) and of course Legend of Zelda - A link to the past !! Hmmm.... looking at the list, I realise that I had more games for the SNES, so... if I really had to choose which one I prefer, I would choose SNES.
