Wow i'm amazed this is so split down the middle almost from the get go. If im honest i'd of thought the SNES would take the lead, but i do love a good surprise.
 
SNES by a country mile!!

I was a bit naughty back in the day and owned both consoles with devices such as the super wild card and consequently was able to see and play nearly all games and even back then there was clear daylight between the two, In the same way the Commodore 64 was better than the Spectrum!
 
I enjoyed the original (16-bit) Sonic games more than any other game that generation so the Megadrive takes it for me - Street Fighter II came close, though (and I had it for the SNES, I thought it was far better than Turbo); I developed blisters playing that sucker. I wore through the thumbs of a pair of football gloves playing it.

plus loads I've probably forgot.

The Megadrive was great, but it didn't come close to matching the number of great games on the snes.
 
I actually had more fun on the master system than I did the megadrive :p

You woulld have thought my natural progression would be MS > MD but nope, I jumped ship to snes and I didnt regret it in the slightest.
 
This shouldn't even be close. The SNES was the far far far superior console. Although I preferred Maddens on the Mega Drive.
 
Lol there's allot of people with rose tinted spectacles if they think the MD is better than the SNES.

No Way Hosay!!!
 
I wanted a Megadrive because I went to my cousin's all the time to play Sonic 2, Streets of Rage 2, Shining Force 2, and Shinobi 3. But my dad ended up buying a SNES with Super Mario World from Argos :(

Fortunately, he made the right choice because I played so many classics on there such as Secret of Mana, Illusion of Time, Terranigma, Starfox, F-Zero, Super Mario Kart, Donkey Kong Country, International Superstar Soccer, Sim City, Killer Instinct, and of course Zelda: LttP.
 
Megadrive for me, I could never get the hang of the bloody pad on the SNES and my friend always kicked my ass at Street Fighter. :(

So many buttons.
 
As a youngster the Megadrive easily was the better choice for me. It had loads of the Sega arcade classics in your home and nearly every game it offered was quick fire and fast paced. The SNES had all these slow, boring, talky RPG thingies that didn't interest me at all.

Now i've grown up and my taste in games has matured, I look back and wonder what the hell I was thinking. I would have loved to play games like Final Fantasy, Chrono Trigger, Zelda and Secret of Mana when they were fresh and new, now it's emulator city!


With that said i still feel the Sonic series was a more enjoyable experience than Mario!
 
SNES. By a million miles. Better graphics. Considerably better sound. And SOOOOO many more epic games.


SNES is still my #1 console of ALL TIME.
