I grew up with the SNES and my only exposure to the Genesis was my friend who had a collection of mostly terrible looking and sounding American games. But I checked out the deeper library over the last few years and it's definitely got some good stuff on it. SNES undoubtedly wins overall but the Genesis had some great games:
- Contra Hard Corps
- Castlevania Bloodlines
- Shinobi 3
- Devil Crash / Dragon's Fury
- Thunder Force 4
- Streets of Rage 2
- Gunstar Heroes

Devil Crash is the definition of a hidden gem.


As far as the music goes basically every non-Japanese game sounds terrible, with a few exceptions. Tim Follin's stuff was great. Hitoshi Sakimoto did a bunch of tracks on the system and they're fantastic. Technosoft had the best OSTs on the system. Modern day representation of Genesis music on youtube is not helped in that most of it is being recorded from horrible emulation of the FM chip versus the real thing, like:

Sounds like rear end because it was recorded on an emulator 14 years ago dude. All of that harsh high frequency aliasing is not present on real hardware.

genesis just sucks loving dick and I will tell you why.
1. no good games.Sonic the hedgehog? whoopde loving do that game sucks
poo poo mario for SNES is better anyway. even Alfred Chicken for SNES totally kills the
game. Street Fighter? SNES got that.Ristar? poo poo. sonic 2? hey. sonic is gay.
he fucks tails like a pansypoo. MK2? have fun with the 3 buttonson that gay controller
. gunstar heros? the game sucks. Sunset Riders on SNES will kill it and
besides SNES is getting turtles in time anyway so I guess I will pick it up.

2. sega sucks dick. sega does not know poo poo about advertising. 'blast processing'
what the gently caress is that? who cares? does it play games? not
good games. they are stupid as hell. maybe if they brought back the
old school sega games like 008 on the SG-1000 then maybe SNES wouldnt spank their rear end so
much.

3. the jappers don't like genesis. that's right. those human being japs
don't like genesis. even though america is twenty times bigger than
japan, if they dont like it, it will suck. europe dont like it either
but europe is poo poo. europe will be usa2 in like ten years anyway.

4. everyone else wants a SNES. even though you sega fuckers wont admit
it now you all want the SNES. i guarantee by launch half of you sega
bitches will have a SNES with mario or fzero. the other half will wait
until FF2 or Lufia come out and then you will get it. but eventually,
all of you will get a SNES and Genesis will die.

5. Ecco is soooo gay. i guarantee that after seeing how gay Ecco is
so many of you will sell you genesis. that is why the jappers are weird
fucks. they buy all that kissy kissy date poo poo and the weird poo poo like
Ecco. us americans know better and most of you will sell your genesis
after buying or renting Ecco. and it will turn off potential buyers.
once i saw Ecco, i knew i wouldnt touch a system with that gay human being
on it.

6. sega fanboys are gay. you sega fan fags turn off so many potential
buyers its sad. they see how geeky and pathetic you are and the just go
to the coolness that is SNES. even you think that Turbo Graphix is bad but it is
a bad 1 player system but it is the best to get 4 player going. 4
player bomberman cannot be beat, even by the poo poo
genesis. you'd think genesis would have a decent 2 player game by
now but i dont see any.

so in conclusion you fanboys are gay and sega sucks poo poo. snes will rule
as soon as it comes out and will sell 2 million on the launch day. genesis
will be dead after sega's strategy fails and the head of the soa
and soj shoot themselves in their asses. and all us snes owners will be
yucking it up while playing FF2 and CT and FF3 and SOM. so suck a nut - TLD
