And finally: It's the Megadrive Vs. the SNES...

[Kosh]

The SNES looked like a toaster, the Megadrive a Lambourghini... but which was best?

This is a vital debate that needs ending, and NSC is the place to do it...

Megadrive for me, why? Cus I owned one, which I suspect is my major reason.

It comes down to Sonic vs. Mario, I guess.

Although Desert Strike, was pretty cool too.

Nintendo all the way, but then I was a mario addict.

Mega Drive had Brian Lara cricket, but the the SNES had Mario Kart! Tough decision, but Megadrive pips it for me

 

[bWize]

Owned both, the SNES pissed all over the Megadrive!

 

[Badger]

I always thought the Megadrive was a better console because I loved Sonic. I had a SNES though and Mario Kart was brilliant

world cup italia 90 with the top down view and the ludicrous "GAWWWLLL" shout whenever you scored AND aladin on the mega drive - thread closed

 

[Mr deez]

Not even close- snes

I had a mega drive 2 that was great. I loved the NHL games and desert strike.
Never really liked sonic or mario as cartoony games are shit.
Goldeneye was on the Snes though wasn't it? Which would have to make that the winner.

 

[Mellotron]

Both were absolutely fantastic consoles.

I picked the SNES just. Owned both, loved both.

Nintendo 64, which pissed on these two for fun.

My brother had a megadrive, I had the snes. I preferred Mario to Sonic, so go with the snes.

I recently got the megadrive collection for my xbox 360. The novelty wore off really quickly.

 

[JJ McClure]

aah yes. In that case it's the mega drive for me.

Whereas anyone could happily put Mario Kart for SNES in now and still be addicted.

Mario Kart is THAT good.

 

[bWize]

All the mario platformers were epic aswell! anyone remember using the warp whistle ?

Zelda and Super Metroid were both true classics aswell!

might have to go dust off my snes

 

[Evil Edna]

Snes for me, <3 Street fight 2.

 

[Mellotron]

The more I think about it, SNES' best 5 or so games destroy Mega Drives best 5 or so.

Super Mario World
Mario Kart
Zelda
Street Fighter 2 Turbo
Donkey Kong Country
F Zero
Metroid
DOUBLE DRAGON
Final Fantasy 2 and 3

Blimey.

really, its Mario Kart vs Arcade game ports (Golden Axe, etc) Sonic wasnt all that. Mega drive got alot of good Amiga ports too, while SNES got new games instead (see above).

tricky... im going to go SNES as Mario Kart was only available on it.

bollocks clicked wrong one. never mind, acedemic really as Amiga was the daddy, great games, deluxe paint, octamed and i could do wordprocessing too.

 

[Mellotron]

I refuse to believe that Mega Drive will win this one.

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

Jesus Kosh, you could at least do the Mega Drive the justice of posting a pic of it in it's finest form.. That's like posting a pic of Jordan before her boob job.. It's just not right...

Mega Drive wins. No Contest
