I enjoyed lots of Genesis games that weren't Sonic. It may have been like under 15 but as a kid, I really didn't need more than a few games to master at a time.

Genesis and Dreamcast were. I was one of the only people that I knew that had a Saturn, it had games that I liked but the library was tiny. The Dreamcast was ahead of it's time.

Genesis+sega channel was the shit. Dreamcast was original and pretty good. Gamegear was tight, although expensive because six double A batteries that die in two hours gets pretty pricey.

Yeah, Dreamcast tbh, the VMU, Seaman, and the fishing rod controller were highlights of my teenage years.

Yes. Especially now. There are mods for Saturn and Dreamcast, Rhea/Phoebes, and GDEMU. They can cost upwards of $400+, and they sell like hotcakes.

I'd say Genesis was near equal to the SNES. The Dreamcast is like their Wii U, some stuff worth playing but most of it is now available elsewhere. Never owned a Saturn.

My dad bought three Game Gears for myself and my two sisters to use during road trips to relatives' houses.

Pretty sure he spent more on AA batteries for those things than he did on the actual systems.

But they were fucking badass

Saturn has a solid library and crazy imports to boot. Good luck affording it.

Dreamcast and Genesis are worth owning, no questions asked. The Saturn is a fascinating piece of hardware with a small but unique library-- a lot of fun if you have a little bit of a game museum thing going. Access to the Saturn library comes with some difficulty though... some of the best games are hundreds of dollars (used) if you want an English version. The Saturn takes some effort.

Genesis, Saturn, Dreamcast.

the only bad console sega made is the game gear. the master system is mainly mediocre arcade ports but still has some gems and at the time it was the only way to play those games at home

sega always being bad is the worst gaming meme

The Saturn ended up having a worthwhile library but it's kind of impossible to defend its launch and rollout. I think Sega was always kind of bad except Sega of America did a great job

the 2-D arcade games that came with the mb carts for sure. Mainly capcom games.

If you had X-Men vs Street Fighter, or Marvel vs Street Fighter for the Saturn in the 90's, you were the coolest kid in the neighborhood.

It was hard to look at if you want to play outdoors, on a sunny day, with no shade.

I had a Genesis and Dreamcast and liked them. I preferred SNES. I bought the dreamcast because I though that Shining Force 3 was on it. I don't know how but I had no idea it was on the Saturn and was really disappointed.

I always played it in a closet because it looked so amazing in there

I guess I just remember it looking like shit anywhere else

It really only had like.. five great games. But it was the best looking handheld gaming system until the gameboy advanced came out
