piUrsEitanizm 08/19/18 5:21:40 PM #1:	Most of the games on the SNES weren't any good except mostly the first party titles... The Genesis on the other hand had plenty more games to choose from that were fun because Sega was always more adult and had more violent games. Yes, the SNES had better graphics by far and a much better controller, but seriously there were a lot more games to choose from on the Genesis that were fun. IMO, the SNES suffered from having too many gimmicky games based on cartoons geared towards little kids that were poorly made and boring. I find it is harder to pass the same judgment on the Genesis.. What do you guys think? --- That is all. <cite>piUrsEitanizm posted [p:907170953] in IMO The Se...

Turtles in Time was one of the few arcade conversions I can think of that wasn't overly stripped on the SNES. Genesis arcade games, especially the sega ones, are far better conversions to the point where a lot of people think of the genesis versions of Golden Axe, Streets of Rage and Altered beast before their original incarnations Sega I think had a much better idea of what their machine could do and put it to good use.

luigi13579 08/19/18 5:47:24 PM #22:	As someone who had a Genesis rather than a SNES when I was little (well, Mega Drive in my case), I think the SNES is better, having played it more in the last decade or so. The first-party games are of course great, and certainly are a large part of the SNES's quality. Super Metroid, A Link to the Past, Super Mario World, Yoshi's Island, Donkey Kong Country 1/2/3, Super Mario RPG and more are some of the best games of all time. They alone compete with the Genesis offerings for many people. However, it's clearly false to say that there are few great games outside of those. Konami, Capcom, Square and Enix have various games for a start. Super Castlevania IV, Contra III, Street Fighter II, Mega Man X/X2/X3, Demon's Crest, Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy IV/V/VI, Secret of Mana, the Quintet trilogy, etc. If you like JRPGs, it's no contest, but even if you don't, there's enough there to compete with the Genesis at the very least. That said, I think the Genesis gets a bad rap. It's undeniably a great console. I just think the SNES is that bit better. <cite>luigi13579 posted [p:907172416] in IMO The Se...

ToiletDuck64 08/19/18 5:58:09 PM #23:	I think one big problem the Genesis had was that for some games you had to hook up extra crap to it (like the 32X and such), with extra wiring and everything, instead of having that extra stuff built into the cartridge like SNES games did.

As the one kid on my block and throughout my family that owned a SNES day one (I eventually got a genesis like, a year and a half later), peeps were dying to come over and play it. I hate to say it, but the genesis at the end of the day always felt like that console that kids got if their parents did not have enough money to get a SNES back when the SNES was pretty expensive for the first two years or so it was out.

They alone compete with the Genesis offerings for many people. However, it's clearly false to say that there are few great games outside of those. Konami, Capcom, Square and Enix have various games for a start. Super Castlevania IV, Contra III, Street Fighter II, Mega Man X/X2/X3, Demon's Crest, Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy IV/V/VI, Secret of Mana, the Quintet trilogy, etc. If you like JRPGs, it's no contest, but even if you don't, there's enough there to compete with the Genesis at the very least. That said, I think the Genesis gets a bad rap. It's undeniably a great console. I just think the SNES is that bit better.</quote> I was in the same situation as you and I agree with all of this.</quote> ... Copied to Clipboard!

DarkTransient 08/19/18 6:52:53 PM #42:	Genesis had the superior version of Lemmings. Although SNES's version was more true to the original. Basically, for whatever reason the Genesis version couldn't handle levels more than 512px wide, whereas the original version (Amiga) went up to 1284px wide - and SNES handled this fine. As such, a lot of larger levels from the original version were replaced with new, smaller ones. But as it happened, most of these new levels were absolutely brilliant, often far better than the levels they replaced. Most of the great levels from the original version weren't cut, though a couple of good ones were lost. On top of that, the Genesis version then adds 60 more levels, which do vary in quality from awful to amazing, but tend more towards the upper end of the scale. However, in terms of pure technical awesomeness (rather than being a great port in and of itself), the Master System version was just incredible. Other 8-bit consoles (in particular, NES) had very poor-quality ports of Lemmings that suffered from tile-based physics. Despite having similar limitations, the Master System version pulled off some incredible hacks to achieve near-pixel-perfect physics. --- http://www.facebook.com/loaocos/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SAfJB3KYYDg <cite>DarkTransient posted [p:907175977] in IMO The Se...
