Retro gaming poll - SNES or Megadrive

[Knightsworld]

Mega Drive for me. Wasted endless hours and days on PGA Golf Tour 2. Will have to dig it out of the loft and check that it still works.

 

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

I never really progressed past the Amiga 500

 

[Mellotron]

Still got my Saturn in tip top working condition. Panzer Dragoon, Virtua Cop (with that big chunky blue light gun) and Command and Conquer are all still very enjoyable.

Panzer Dragoon (Saga, think it was) I absolutely LOVED. And NiGHTS. Just such original games, so lovingly executed. Virtua Fighter 2. Ahhh.

On my vote for the SNES I seem to have brought it back to 50/50. This is a tight one.

Never got round to getting my hands on NiGHTS. Played the PS2 version, but its not the same.

I wonder if it's time that does this, but everyone seems to be able to agree pretty much that BOTH the Megadrive and SNES were EXCELLENT consoles.

Why isn't it the same with Xbox360 and PS3?

 

[JamesAndTheGiantHead]

Was on both platforms, but I thought I'd give it a big shout out on here while we're at it.

Painfully good at the time.

Another classic footie game, Striker (SNES):

There was an INDOOR FOOTBALL MODE, where you could BOUNCE IT OFF THE WALLS. SO good.

I was a Megadrive kid. Joe Montana American Football was brilliant!!

Talking of early 90s gaming, I came across this the other week:

[yt]GkT6NNm6mP8[/yt]

It was a must watch when I was a kid. Andy Crane (remember him on every kid's TV show for a while) and Violet Berlin talking about the latest "cutting edge" games. Apparently the 3DO was going to revolutionise gaming, if only it wasn't 2 years too early costing about £600.

 

[Billy the Fish]

Went almost exactly the same route as you, although also kept some loyalty to Nintendo, buying the N64 and GameCube along the way, along with the cult console that is the Sega Saturn (some BRILLIANT games on there, genuinely).

Yeah I had a Saturn, I saved up months of paper round money to get that. Worldwide soccer was an AMAZING football game, so addictive. Also had Euro 96, which was one of the first games to have commentary.

Also it brought arcade games like Daytona and virtua fighter to the living room.

Does anyone remember the Mega CD? You had to get it on Japanese import. My mates' older brother had one, the games were shit

 

[gullshark]

You could get the Mega CD over here, about 2 years after the jap release thou.

 

[Wilko]

I had both but StreetFighter 2 and Mario kart pushes the SNES ahead. As someone else mentioned, the Ghost castle track was gaming heaven

 

[Stat Brother]

Megadrive all the way. Oh happy days.

My console history has been megadrive -> PS1 -> PS2 -> PS3 (with a Wii being added to the mix soon)

Snap, only we've had our wii for yonks.

 

[Stat Brother]

On the Megadrive I was all about:-

Sonic (Then 1st level UNDER 30 secs)
PGA, The 17th hole at Sawgrass.
Madden.
and a driving game, I can't remember.

 

[brunswick]

sensible soccer on the pc, dos based was the nuts!!!!

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Megadrive for sure, Streets of Rage, man.

Amiga 500 > Megadrive > PS1 > PS2 > PC (when online shooters became popular).

Had a 360 for a while, and then a PS3 but sold both for different reasons mostly now that I live in a shared flat with two people who don't care for video games so I just play them on my quite high spec laptop.

Thread fails as the correct answer is AMIGA.
