Poll: SNES vs Megadrive?

[Semiskimmed]

i cant choose one over the other, i just cant.

they were both incredible in different ways so its a tie for me!

I voted SNES on my gut choice because it looked better, sounded better and there generally was more depth to the games.

Megadrive was an amazing console though (considering its inherent limitations) so many hours of fun could be had with it.

I read the Megadrive launched on the 9th January 1988 in Japan.

SNES: It had (has) Unirally. Tried for so long to beat the stunt scores. 1st "blister" game I owned before track & field!

Still neck and neck

Actraiser had some wicked music.

I've just remembered Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine.

Now I'm torn.

Owned both during their prime, and for me the SNES but only just.

Hands down my most favourite xmas prezzie of all time. 14 at the time and it was like winning the lottery.

....as did Equinox.....

....Plok.....

Castlevania, Spiderman & X-Men: Arcade's Revenge.....

.......Rock'N'Roll Racing, Secret Of Mana.....the list is possibly huge. For me it was another edge the SNES had over the weedy Megadrive soundchip. Although four of the games listed where done by Tim/Geoff Follin (old skool coders from the 8bit era)

 

[thepigf@rmer]

Personally I'd like to see some SNES stuff on the 3DS eShop, I think a release of top old skool SNES games at a reasonable price wouldn't go amiss, instead of the crap they're currently releasing!

 

[Infidelus]

I had a SNES (and still have it), mostly becuase I wanted to play Streetfighter II.

Never owned a Megadrive, so you can guess which I voted for

 

[thepigf@rmer]

...oh and Axelay...

I'm really sorry I couldn't help it

I bought this off ebay when i was 23. It was still like winning the lottery!

Also came with mario kart, donkey kong country and a couple of other games

Sold it a year later for the same price but now have the urge to buy another and play some 52" Street Fighter 2 and Mario Kart again!

 

[wannabedamned]

How many people got Street Fighter 2 Turbo in the Metal Tin?

Wish I still had mine I was such a bratty child, Never looked after anything

 

[krooton]

The SNES certainly was (seemed?) more powerful, and kicked the Megadrive's butt in terms of RPGs, but overall I enjoyed more of the games on the Megadrive (Gunstar Heroes is still BOSS!).

As such I am not voting.

Was it this good?

 

[Superficial]

I think We need to get something straight!

The Megadrive had Street Fighter II: Special Championship Edition - this was FASTER than Turbo which came out on the SNES.

The above fact Plus the 6 button controller on the Megadrive meant that playing SF on the megadrive was a much better experience closer to the 6-button arcade machines.

I will never understand why so many think the SNES had such a great controller anyway - ok it had 6 buttons fromthe get go but, and lets face it, the shoulder buttons were, frankly, TERRIBLE. it was like someone stuck them on as an after thought - they were so cheap and had zero travel.
