^ The Sega tower looks like a vacuum cleaner from the 80s. |

--- Quote from: dashv on January 24, 2016, 08:28:11 pm ---I think part of that is Sonic was Sega's mascot. :) With Nintendo staring out with Mario front and center and Sega bringing Sonic on board after the fact they had to heavily advertise and put him out there. He was their (very effective) Mario killer. Other than the titles already mentioned what are some of these lesser known Genesis killer apps you speak of? I'm not trolling. I have 3 Genesis consoles, 2 game gears and over 80 games for the Genesis. None (other than Sonic series and Streets of Rage) really stand out to me. Many here keep talking about the awesomeness of the game library. So I'm not trying to argue that. I really just want to know what I'm missing. --- End quote --- I think there are plenty, and you even own some of them sir. Let's see, Rocket Knight Adventures, Revenge of Shinobi and Shadow Dancer, Toejam & Earl, Gunstar Heroes, Vectorman, Castle and World of Illusion, Alisia Dragoon, Phantasy Star II/III/IV, Castlevania Bloodlines, Dynamite Headdy, Ristar, Golden Axe... these are all games that immediately come to mind when I think of the Genesis, and none of those titles are really obscure, or anything. So if none of it stands out to you.... |

They just took existing things and sold them better than the competitors. Good for them. I am curious if anyone can name anything they contributed to further gaming. Back on topic: SNES wins in being the ugliest console made for North America. Mine even turned yellow over the years. I'm not sure if it is because of the plastic they used or if it was because I used it as a urinal when I was playing long sessions on my Genesis. --- End quote --- 1. First console to use dual-analog controls. 2. First console with an end-user programmable system & tools (Net Yaroze) 3. First console to utilize the storage capacity of DVD. 4. First console to utilize the storage capacity of Blu-Ray discs. 5. First home console to utilize VR (coming this year!) 6. Ushered in the era of 3D polygon graphics (Saturn sucked and was built around 2D sprites) 7. Moved gaming from being considered "a kid's toy" to being an acceptable pastime for adults. 8. First console to sell over 100 million units. 9. PS2 is best selling console of all time with over 150 million units sold. 10. Exclusive home to some of the most important games in history (Final Fantasy VII, Castlevania Symphony of the Night, Metal Gear Solid) 11. Knocked Nintendo down a peg or two, relegating them to second place. 12. Damaged Sega so badly, they went software-only. Honestly, you can say that all game makers copied and iterated on what other did before them. It's the nature of the beast. |
