Megadrive/Genesis Appreciation Thread

[Team Andromeda]

Calm down its only a videogame forum, i think you misunderstood what TA said he meant it as on the snes there is nothing close to streets of rage 2, he did not mean streets of rage 2 is on the snes.

Thanks that is what I meant.

...yet, the SNES beat the Megadrive in every department? LOL

Batman Returns was fantastic also. Blew me away when I first played it good shout!

Thunderhawk was awesome also

If you like those you love Cliffhanger on the Mega CD.
John O'Brien was using the Batman Returns scaling engine to the max inthat game

Ooooh - Good shout TA - and apologies for the mis-interpretation.

I must pick this up again.

Sonic CD (MCD - PAL > all)

I'll leave it there.

Why is the PAL version better than the NTSC versions? Must be something uberwonderful to put up with playing the game in 50Hz?

Must be something uberwonderful

Yes, it was

The PAL game is arguably better than the US game because it uses the original Japanese soundtrack, instead of the (imo) mediocre US soundtrack.

Why did EA put their games in those BIG carts? The first time I seen one, I thought that yellow bit on them was a button or something!

EA produced their own carts to avoid paying Sega to do it, I believe. Ballistix, Codemasters and some Taito games also came in their own 'personal' carts.

Mu5 - I think you're taking your attack on Kingston a little too far mate.

He's already stated that he prefers the SNES to the MD - and there's nothing wrong with that, just like if you posted on a thread that was dedicated to the SNES saying you prefered the MD. It's a bit silly to try and make out that because he prefers the Nintendo machine, he didn't own a MD.

Kingston has made it very clear that he likes the MD loads too (it is possible to like more than one console) and only a blinkered fool would try to claim that the SNES is a poor machine. The 16-bit era was probably the best I've experienced - and it was because there were two fan-bloody-tastic consoles fighting toe-to-toe at the time, both excellent in different areas. Everyone is going to have a favourite, to me and you it's the MD. To Kingston, it's the SNES. A bit of difference is what makes the world go round, after all!

[wheelaa]

Gazes into crystal ball.

Dont worry Duddy mate - next up is Amiga vs ST, then I think we will take it right back for some Speccy vs Commodore 64!! lol

[Duddyroar]

next up is Amiga vs ST

Don't go there...as an ST owner who had loads of Amiga-owning friends, it's all too painful...

I think you picked me up wrong mate. He had mentioned that the SNES beat the MD in every area, thats why I couldn't beleive he had a MD.

Arcade conversions, shoot-em-ups and beat-em-ups all rocked on the MD
