I didn't own a SNES until I could get one at a pawn shop for cheap. I think Genesis always kicked ass with more adult oriented titles over the weaker versions on SNES like the Mortal Kombat stuff. I truly laughed at anyone who had bought that crap for there SNES. One giant WTF? Genesis was my fave I think. I didn’t own a SNES until I could get one at a pawn shop for cheap.

Sure the SNES may have had a few of the Best games, but the overall library for the Genesis was far superior. I greatly preferred the Genesis over the SNES.

I hated the genesis, I don't know why. I’d have to agree, SNES is pretty much the best ever. I hated the genesis, I don’t know why.

They both have a plethora of titles that I still play, along with an excellent ability to bring the extremely varied game-styles to life. They were both released at a time of major technological innovations allowing for far more than what came before them. The newest consoles are just minor improvements of what these two consoles built (the 360 and PS3 simply do them with "better graphics"). Then again...I've been saying as much for a while now. While the visual quality (and in some cases the audio quality as well) of current games have been increasing...very little else has been truly improved upon. Take any style of game out there today and take an honest look at what is so truly "new and different" from previous games. It's sad. The industry has become ripe with the same sort of "meh" inspiring re-invention that brought the gaming industry to its knees over twenty years ago.
