Title: Your Favorite Sega Video Game Product
Post by: stealthrush on July 08, 2017, 05:08:13 pm: Inspired by oldgamerz thread (https://vgcollect.com/forum/index.php/topic,8172.0.html)

I like both my Sega Saturn and Sega Dreamcast. I was fortunate enough to buy both at launch, it was rough owning a North American Saturn during its early days constantly defending the system reputation, it wasn't until late 1998 I realized how many excellent exclusive imports never made it out of Japan.

Sega Dreamcast was a day-1 purchase for me, first time pre-ordering a system back in 9/9/99. After playing many Sega games at the local arcade venue knowing they will be on Dreamcast, I knew I had to have it.

Looking back I enjoyed these two systems the most, since early on I owned a NES, GB, and SNES and completely missed out on Master System, Sega Genesis, Sega-CD, Sega-32X, and Game Gear. Although the past few years I've been catching up on what I've missed out on, especially on Mega Drive.

Tell me what your favorite Sega hardware / product is.

Post by: burningdoom on July 08, 2017, 11:27:01 pm: Sega Genesis. The war between them and Nintendo was at it's height, and the competition drove them to create, IMO, their best console with the largest and most varied library of games.

Post by: ferraroso on July 09, 2017, 07:29:38 pm: As someone born in Brazil in the 80's, my first video game console was the Master System. And, even though nowadays it is not the system I play the most (this merit goes to the Saturn) it is still my favorite video game console of all time.

Besides, I think the red in black model 1 Master System looks gorgeous!

Post by: ignition365 on July 10, 2017, 12:37:08 pm: So despite the fact that I own a lot of Sega stuff, I've never actually really played any Sega games.

I've never really played anything on Genesis, 32X, Saturn, Sega CD, or Dreamcast. Don't get me wrong, I played NBA Jam and Primal Rage on Genesis at a friend's house as a child for like 10 minutes. And as an adult, I played WWF Royal Rumble on the Dreamcast for like 5 minutes.

So my default has to be Game Gear. Which, before all of the capacitor issues and stuff, and if you used an AC adapter instead of batteries, it was a fine system.

Post by: kashell on July 10, 2017, 12:55:59 pm: 100% the Sega Saturn. Growing up, it was always the console that fascinated me with its exclusives. We owned both a PS and an N64, so the Saturn stuff always made me wonder what could have been.

Now that I have a Saturn and had the chance to play some fantastic games, it's easily my favorite Sega product.

Title: Re: Your Favorite Sega Video Game Product
Post by: brazbit on July 11, 2017, 01:08:47 am: Sega Nomad.

It's the only Sega system I ever bought new. It lets me play some of my favorite Sega Games and is portable while also able to connect to a TV so win/win.

I never had anything against Sega, I thought SMS was more interesting than NES. Unfortunately. I learned that it existed after having bought my NES. I missed the Genesis and Dreamcast was a bust before I bought one. So my choice is simple.

Post by: sin2beta on July 16, 2017, 02:38:04 am: SEGA Genesis Model 2. I love that system. And for some reason, just love the model 2 looks.

Post by: xxunixx on July 21, 2017, 08:44:40 am: Easily the dreamcast. Very ahead of it's time.

Post by: doafan on July 21, 2017, 12:48:04 pm: I would love to say that it's the Dreamcast but I started with the Master System even before the NES, those damn moments playing Double Dragon with my cousins were awesome also the fact that we had infinite lives before the last level was the best idea ever, don't have to say that when I noticed that Mordecai and Rigby had this console it bring me back tons of good memories ;D

Post by: DreamsDied13101 on August 18, 2017, 07:04:55 pm: This is such a hard question.

I tend to lean towards the Dreamcast because it was the first console I took online. It was so exciting when that scene was really taking off and then Xbox took it to the next level.

All of their consoles and arcade games are amazing though. I spent most of my trip to Japan camped out playing Sega arcade games. Everyone needs to experience it at least once.

Post by: shadowzero on August 26, 2017, 10:36:31 pm: There are so many greats but I'm going to pick the two most unique favs PANIC! (aka Switch) and Phantasy Star Online. My buddy and I spent hours mapping out every switch NEVER knowing what to expect. Most of it was hilarious, some of it lost in translation (back then there was no anime/Japanese culture saturation) but always wanting more. I say Phantasy Star Online solely because at its release and long after I used that sweet built in Dreamcast 56k modem and played every night that I could steal the phone line away.

Post by: shadowzero on September 10, 2017, 12:24:46 pm: did I already mention Panic!? drat.
Title: Re: Your Favorite Sega Video Game Product
Post by: undertakerprime on September 11, 2017, 12:51:39 pm: Wow, very hard to answer.

Genesis gave me Sonic, Shinobi, Streets of Rage, Golden Axe...
Saturn gave me arcade-perfect Vampire Savior, X-Men vs SF, MSH vs SF...
Dreamcast gave me Soulcalibur, Crazy Taxi...

I might have to go with the Saturn. Arcade-perfect conversions were a rare thing at the time, and discovering import games and the 4MB cart led to hours of enjoyment with the aforementioned fighting games, especially Vampire Savior.
