I know the Mega Drive in Japan was released almost a year before in '88 and over a year later in '90 for Europe but I'm talking about the '89 release of the Genesis in the U.S. I'm surprised this topic wasn't created on the day of, sorta. Anyways, how did you guys spend your August 14th? Did anyone forget? I'm keeping my love for the console strong and upholding my collection. My day could've been better. Guests came so I couldn't veg out in front of my screen that day and I was out of the house for the weekend. Thank god I got my cousin a Genesis otherwise I'd have spent the weekend with nothing to do other than watch DVDs of the WWF Attitude Era which I've seen loads of times already. For the past 2 weeks I actually gave Genesis sports games a chance. While some sucked I actually enjoyed a bunch. This was surprising to me. I used to be one of those people who hated all the sport games (sans NBA Jam & Hangtime) without even giving them a chance but now I've turned around and enjoyed playing 3P with my cousin and bro (both of which are only 15 and 14, I got them into the console) on games such as Madden '96, College Football's National Championship which I recently played last night and recorded my gameplay, and what is considered to be one of the best if not the best sport game out there that even beat Punch Out in a poll, NHL '94. I don't like NHL '94 THAT much but it's still a pretty fun game.

I remember sitting next to the TV with the 4 Games in One Cartridge plugged into my good ol' Model 2 Genesis.
Sonic, Golden Axe, Columns, And Streets of Rage... Good Times. |

Ahh the old Genesis...I remember playing Sonic 2 in My Uncle's genesis...
Maybe the Genesis was and is one of the greatest Video game Consoles in History (My Opinion). PD: Happy Birthday Sega Genesis (lol)

Freaking Streets of Rage, Golden Axe and Sonic, man! Dang, those were the best years of my childhood as a five year old. Before then, I was shortly (a few months to let you know, but then I learned of Sonic) attached to an SNES system.
But Genesis freaking dominated. High five, Superflip! Awesome times! EDIT: How dare I forget Earthworm Jim?! That game was the bomb. Last edited by GREG THE CAT; 08-18-2009 at 04:57 PM. Reason: Earthworm Jim.... The Jimster needn't be forgotten. |

Depending on the price, that can be "****ing *"
If price is greater than or equal to $50, * = Stupid If price is less than $50, * = Awesome |

In my opinion, the NES had more memorable games then the Genesis. Not to say the Genesis wasn't awesome though. Streets of Rage, Sonic, and the Genesis version of Mortal Kombat were all epic.

Well, you shouldn't compare the Genesis with the NES.
You should compare the NES/Master System/Game Gear and Genesis/SNES I also think that the SNES had better games, but Genesis is a really close call. |

You're right Sonic Shadow ,but, the Sega Master system failed so hard in comparison with the NES that it isn't worth mentioning. Or maybe thats just me talking too much crap before even playing the damn thing.
I play the NES and other systems from it's era via emulators so my knowledge is limited.

The SMS had some pretty awesome games too, like both Sonics, Alexx Kidd (SP? =P), Dinamyte Dux, Tails Adventure... That's about it.

The SNES was being designed in mid-89. There's early screenshots of Pilotwings revealed back then, so Nintendo was already on the task.
