Were you a Super Nintendo kid or a Sega Genesis kid?

[Womb Raider]

That was a bit before my time so both are lame imo

 

[Tommy Fits]

Sega

 

[CoolinInTheCut]

I had a NES and didnt care about it at all lol. PS1 was what got me into gaming.

 

[Canon]

dad was a Sega guy

so naturally

 

[R=G]

Genesis...I loved Battletoads and Fatal Fury. Mortal Kombat....lol.

 

[Long Live The Kane]

SNES…

My lil cuz had a genesis so I played that every weekend…streets of rage and eternal champions was my shyt

 

[Days of Future Piff]

SNES. it’s still the GOAT console IMO.

Chrono Trigger, Super Mario All Stars/World, Final Fantasy, A Link to the Past, Donkey Kong Country 1-3, Turtles in Time, Castlevania 4, Contra 3, Megaman X 1-3, Super Metroid, Yoshi’s island, ActRaiser, Mario Kart, Super Mario RPG, Lufia 2, Breath of Fire 1-2, Secret of Mana, etc.

Not needing a special controller to play Street Fighter 2 with 6 buttons

And that’s not even covering the Japan-only piff we never got… games like the SFC Dragon Quest games, Terranigma, the Fire Emblem games, Gundam Wing Endless Duel, Front Mission Gun Hazard, Live a Live, Seiken Densetsu 3, and the Super Bomberman sequels. GOAT system

Shout outs to SEGA though, they had heat.
Phantasy Star 4, Gunstar Heroes, Shining Force 1 and 2, Streets of Rage, Sonic


The 16-bit era might be the GOAT generation
for video games… the PS2/GameCube/Xbox/Dreamcast era is the only other gen that’s really up for debate.

 

[Knowledge]

My parents always got me a sega and i had sega tv which was gamepass before gamepass making me the coldest kid on the block

 

[MurderToCassette]

Couldn't afford either

But my experiences with family and friends that gen was all SNES.

 

[Redguard]

I had both consoles.

 

[daze23]

SNES. had friends with the Genesis though, so I played a lot of the games

 

[daemonova]

Super Nintendo was the home of the RPGs, including the greatest game ever, Secret of mana, had to squab with some knee grows at school over Final fantasy 2 (4) because my dumbass allowed myself to be talked into trading FF 2 for final fight. Then them niccas stole my game boy out my locker because some nerdy white kid knew my combination and got mad at me because I knew his locker combination because I had his locker from the year before and told him ( Im so dumb) and because I made fun of him for having tiddies in gym class.

but back on subject, super Nintendo also had Sim city and Populus which were great, I found Populus in a bargain bin at an old bookstore on Peachtree battle back in the day.

 

[Killer Instinct]

I was barely 4 but I had the second version of Sega Genesis. Lion King, Sonic, Street Fighter 2, Mortal Kombat I never cared for Nintendo or their games.

 

[ill_will82]

I was a sega genesis man.

I didn’t own one til about 98/99

By '98 - 99 I was already on the PS1. By late '96 going into '97 I was tired of the Genesis by then b/c I had about 30 games and had beat all of them. Then I would end up renting at least another 2 games from Blockbuster Video on the weekends on top of that.

aint no way we could afford both. I went from NES to Genesis

The same. I went from NES to Genesis after I didn't have shyt to play after my Nintendo kept going out. That's why I asked my parents for Genesis instead of SNES. Also it was one gaming system or the other wasn't no asking for both.

Back then I thought sega had the better graphics. Looking back on it. I was wrong

SNES had the better graphics but Genesis had the better games. I think the only thing SNES had over Genesis as far as games were TMNT and certain wrestling games.

 

[old pig]

By '98 - 99 I was already on the PS1.

ya idk why I didn’t buy the PS1 right away…I think maybe the games were too expensive or something and I had just started my first job…and by that time genesis games were mad cheap…I ended up getting PS1 a year later once I found out how to copy game discs
