Poll: SNES vs Megadrive?

[Wang Computer]

Ah, this old chestnut.

I always found the library of games on the Megadrive to be somewhat more lightweight than that of the SNES. There was simply nothing the match the sheer depth of titles like Zelda: A Link to the Past and Super Metroid. And despite being relatively primitive, I still believe the influence of this games is acutely felt to this day.

The SNES, despite on paper having an inferior (and odd) CPU, was technically superior to the Megadrive in pretty much every sense.

I suppose it boiled down to whether you preferred a blue hedgehog or a moustachioed weirdo in a boiler suit.

Ah, memories. The day my dad brought home my Super Nintendo was a good day indeed. Being a child was great!

Voted SNES since I believe it had the better games overall.

However, Streets Of Rage 1 & 2 are probably my favourite two games from that generation. Both of which were only on the Megadrive.

snes was the better console by miles

I had a Jap Megadrive and a US Snes.

I enjoyed them both

I do remember the SNES suffered substantial slowdown when many sprites were on screen at the same time, ie, Super R-Type, UN Squadron, Super Ghouls N Ghosts.

MEga Drive for me as i owned it but couldn't agrue against the snes as a better conosle.
Best games for me were the desert strike series of games, megalomania, flash back, another world and eternal champions.
