Saturn and Dreamcast were both a million times better than Genesis, and at least as good as their contemporaries. Unfortunately by that point the damage had already been done and nobody wanted to make games for Sega systems anymore.

I sent her most of my gamepro/gameplayers/EGM magazines I had stashed on my garage, she said it was helpful because it's real English and also relevant to what her students wanna know about. I don't have any nintendo powers, that would've been interesting, in case someone else is interested in early 90s pipelined propaganda rags.

You can play an Atari 2600/7800 with a Sega Genesis controller.

Can’t do that with an SNES controller.

Genesis games sounded like a robot with diarrhea, but a lot of SNES games had those farty trumpets that made it sound like a mariachi band, so it's kind of a toss-up as to which one was worse.

Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.

Sonic never poops in the game. Mario eats and poops when he squats down the green pipes and chomps mushies. Sonic would have to poop sometime, maybe in the cutscenses, his metabolism is so high he should be running into a turd snake when he does the loopity loops.

man there was either a video game music thread or a genesis music thread a while back i cant remember. but either way people were trying way too hard to believe genesis music was good and only like 4 of the songs werent painful to hear

ill tell you one thing though. even though the colors sometimes seemed a little wrong in some genesis games i saw a screenshot of guiles stage in the genesis version of street fighter 2 and that sky was awesome

:actually: the megadrive had the superior soundchip, the lack of well composed songs getting posted in a gbs thread shouldnt point fault at the technology jluk

I got a genesis second hand after the nintendo 64 came out and it was all i had until the ps2 was released. there were some cool games on it, but the same could be said about the snes. I never really understood the console wars at all tbh games are games :shrug:

The Genesis controller only had 3 buttons and you had to press start to switch between punches and kicks in Street Fighter :wtf:

You had to buy a separate 6 button controller to be able to play it normally, yet another example of Sega making you buy more poo poo just to add basic functionality to the console.

why cant it make anything sound crisp (serious question)? youre suggesting every single composer decided to go with the twangy sound on genesis or what?
