--- Quote from: sworddude on January 25, 2016, 03:12:40 am ---Phantasy star IV is up there for an rpg of high quality. This is exactly what I mean most people who are a nintendo guy with a sega only talk about sonic and streets of rage and or golden axe or altered beast. Definitly not the greatest games so stereothypical and people saying so many sport games. People are just missing the picture when there is no famous mastcot mentioned in the games. I mean the game the mentioned above are easy to come by and the better known titles on the sega are pretty hard to come by but not that expensive by all means when comparing to nintendo. Just some examples of what you are missing The sega is a system of shootemups musha truxton thunderforce phelios raiden trad etc. Arcade games: strider, second samurai, mega turrican better than the 2 super turrican games on the snes by far. super turrican 2 was particulary bad. splatter house series outrun. Platformers/ run and gun castlevania bloodlines, rocket knight adventures, sparkster shinobi series contra hard cops, gunstar heroes. Rpg's phantasy star series IV is the best III is the worst, shining force series, crusader of centy There are way more games, I just hate it when people don't see this awesome games in the library I have seen more people with 80 games for a console but quantity does not mean quality since allot of people have allot of filler titles wich are not worth playing. There are allot of crappy games on the sega but same goes for snes. Also I do see you have some nice quality games in the collection for the sega. Have you ever tried playing shinobi III castlevania bloodlines turtles hyperstone heist, contra, gunstar heroes, ristar or rocketknight? All quality games but few in that list are one of the best of the system I'm suprised you only find the sonic and streets of rage games to stand out when you have some awesome games in the collection some wich are the best for the system. I'm curious if you have ever played one of the above titles, if not give them at least a try especially shinobi III. If you don't like all games mentioned above than the sega ain't for you aside from the sonic titles with respect since everyone has their own taste and these are the kinda games sega has to offer. --- End quote --- I'm not poo-pooing the Genesis/MegaDrive library, but I have to be honest when I say that owning both simultaneously the SNES trounced the Genesis at every turn. Every game you mention like Turtles, Castlevania, Shinobi, Phantasy Star, Gunstar, RocketKnight....they all had a similar and almost universally better version or equivalent on the SNES. I loved my Genesis back in the day but I'm just being honest when I say that the SNES killed it. I also found many of the "beloved" Sega games to quite frankly-suck. Comix Zone. Altered Beast. Alex Kidd. Ecco. Flicky. Kid Chameleon. Vectorman. These games sucked. The multiplatform games were always inferior and the versions of Castlevania, Turtles and others were just "Hey look, we got that too!" versions that felt half-hearted. And while fun for awhile, Shinobi was always a lesser Ninja Gaiden. |

I will always prefer the Genesis to the SNES, mostly because I grew up with it and my friends at the time had the Genesis as well. I still prefer Sonic 1, 2, 3 and Knuckles to Mario World 1 and 2, and may other games on he Genesis. Yes, the SNES was technically superior, but the Genesis is s till an amazing console and one that I am quite fond of and always will be. |

Dreams died back in '01 when Sega as a hardware maker went kaput. Nintendo keeps chugging along 15 years later. And Landstalker sucked and had some of the most horrendous artwork and graphics. And Moonwalker? Hahahahahahahahaha. I think someone forgot the sarcasm tag. :P Chrono Trigger laughs in the Genesis' face. |
