Any veterans here? How are you holding up? Were you on the winning side?

genesis' game library was much more robust than snes

I didn't have autism so I was able to enjoy both.

Definitely a hot take, brother.

Never did online gaming unless the occasional college LAN party counts. Never cared to keep up. Only ended up with a 360 because i saw one at a yard sale. Thank you for visiting my geocities

Kek. I was an early 80s kid, so that was always retro to me. I recently got a TG-16 mini and been enjoying the games on it. Nobody I knew growing up had one.

I had both of these consoles and also the PC Engine. Only poor plebs chose one.

Lucky fuck. Which one did you like the most back then and now?

To me a lot of the Genesis games are more fun to pick up and play, or emulate as most would do. The console went for a more arcadey feel. SNES though had more overall great games and it had an abundance of them. But the good Genesis games are really fun and stand up to me with the best SNES ones.

As for Turbo/PCE it had its own share of fun stuff but it never got the proper support outside of Japan. I did love Bonk though as a kid. However Sonic was my favorite mascot platformer and I still think the Genesis Sonic games are the best 2D platformers even today.

Oof. I agree with a lot of what you said, but I totally disagree with Sonic. I think it's almost complete trash. I tell people to play anything on the Genesis besides Sonic. Some of my underrated favorites are Gauntlet IV, Granada and Skeleton Krew. My favorite game for it is MUSHA. You're totally right about the pick up and play arcade titles. It has a bunch that hit a certain spot the other two consoles don't, but for more elaborate and involving games, the SNES has that covered it's not even close.

For me it's this fucking game. Genesis had no answer.
>>
>>952000947
Grew up with the Genesis and comparing it to SNES as an adult I can say the Genesis is MUCH better. SNES has some specific cool titles like super Mario world and others but Genesis is the goat
>>
>>952007459
Theres 6 Sonic titles in the Genesis so the fact you call them all just "Sonic" is a great sign you're clueles. Sonic 3 is regarded as one of the best games ever made and with good reason. 2 is amazing as well

The console wars are still raging, as long as guys continue to homebrew and continue to play.

This game is literally on Genesis

I went directly from Master System to Nintendo 64. Don't care much about winning console wars but I had my fun.

I came from Japan...
I had a famicom. When I got here, the nes, or what you called the Nintendo only had 7 games. I had over 100 for my famicom. Then the movie The Wizard dropped, and I already owned Mario world 3 and had beat it many times, but Americans hadn't even seen it yet.
Needless to say I was the coolest kid in the country for a while.
But I digress, I was always on the winning side, because I have good taste.

Although Sega was goated for Dreamcast
PC is all you need now
