Get out.
I got my NES in 89 and moved onto SNES after that. I never wavered til PS1 came out and Final Fantasy moved ship.
It was a good move.
Also RPGs were a hell of a lot more fun on SNES. I never enjoyed Phantasy Star beyond 4 or Online on the DC.
>>25698396
I think you misunderstand. The Nintendo I owned in 1990 was a SNES.
The CRAY thing was a joke that I found exceptionally funny.
The two are not related.
>>25698435
SNES did not come out in 1990 unless you lived in Japan.

I wasn't raised with it, I picked it as a child. I played both Sega and Nintendo at friends houses growing up. I chose Nintendo, and bought one as soon as I could.
I respect your preference for Genesis, but my choice of Nintendo was conscious. I wasn't just raised to it.

>>25697532
for the anons who don't understand clearly, the Super Nintendo and Megadriv.. er Sega Genesis Anon brought there one day are considered like supercomputers in Equestria. Or like, a cluster of supercomputers fitting into a shoebox, for us humans.
In the Canterlot Magic and Science center, the SNES is running 24/7 with some magnetic reel-to-reel tape recorders connected to it to store the daily giga-byte of processed data and thousands of lines of assembly code.
that single processor and its 1.8 million of 16-bit instructions per second is monstrous and is helping advanced unicorn wizards exploring new kind of spells.
The Genesis however is hosted on another facility, with the same kind of configuration but the processor has a different architecture, still useful for ponies, breaking the logic of very complex spells, or reverse-engineering them, and is rumored to be much more powerful with some extension module and its modular timing, up to 8MHz or twice the Super Nintendo.
it's almost they could have simulated a pony's brain or some... an artificial intelligence with this machine, and it's got that laser optical data storage device that can store several gigabits into one crystal disc, or more information than all of Canterlot Palace's library...into one single disc! it's almost scary.
CPU wise, the genesis was faster but not by the huge gap comparing clock by clock implies, because the 65816 architecture is around 1.5x faster per clock cycle than the 68000 due it being a CPU with 32bit internal bus, 16bit external bus and no cache.
This means that when the Snes is operating at its top speed, 3.58 Mhz, it is the equivalent of a 5.37 Mhz sega genesis. But a lot of cartridges (including several action and sports games) did used a slower ROM that slowed down the whole system to 2.68 Mhz, which made it be equivalent of 4 Mhz genesis that is pretty much half of what genesis offered.
Now to other points, genesis and snes could have the EXACT SAME NUMBER of tiles in their memories, and both system used tiles with 16 colors each, but genesis only offered 4 sets of colors to its tiles, and those sets were made out of 512 colors, while snes offered 8 sets, with each being made of colors made out of 32768 colors, which is where the main video advantage of the snes comes from, besides transparency and mode 7 etc..
Now on the audio department, it's a quite a pick your poison scenario.
The sega genesis audio is made out of heavily distorted "nes like beeps", made to sound like instruments, and thus always using the maximum sample rate of the system and never sounding muffled, but you had to program it VERY WELL to not make it sound like metallic hell.
Snes on other hand required no synth wizardry because its songs were made out of tiny wave samples that played in different speeds to make the notes, but you had to shove those into cartridges and the 64KB buffer, which meant low quality muffled samples in a lot of cases, to not mention that if the samples are shit, it will still sound like shit.
Also a last point is that snes games were generally bigger because it required cheaper 8bit,2.68 Mhz ROM chips rather than the expensive 16bit, 7.67 Mhz ROM chips used on the genesis, but as i pointed out previously, that made the SNES CPU run very slowly.

Twilight, Genesis had a fucking awful sound chip. Sure, It was capable of FM synthesis, but 9/10 composers had no idea how to use it. Most of them just ended up creating grating white noise sounds that make the SNES look like the holy grail of sound processing.
Besides that, blast processing was a myth. Ever hear of mode 7? Its the same concept.
Sorry twi, if you wanted to discuss human video game consoles, you'll have to do a little more research.
Now can we get back to playing "shitty graphics" games like Donkey Kong Country?

All joking aside, SNES sound was POTENTIALLY better. Only problem was, while the two console were on two different levels on that matter, the Megadrive was basically the top on its level, while the SNES was the lower end of its. Even a 286 sporting an Adlib could perform better sound than the SNES.
But, in a rough comparison between all the existing consoles in early 90s market, SNES was definitely a step ahead.

Most people didn't know how to use FM synthesis compared to the faux-wavetable synthesis of SNES. Tim and Geoff follin were fucking masters of their time. Listen to the way they pushed both the SNES and Genesis sound chips. It mostly has to do with how you use it. Yes. Streets of rage was fucking primo in terms of genesis sound tracks. Arcade's Revenge and DKC also were examples of soundtracks where people knew what they were doing.

Guys, come on, who fucking cares? SNES and Mega Drive / Genesis are both legends in their own way, and they both are completely outdated.
It doesn't matter which sound was better or which console had the better graphics: all that matters is the nice memories they gave us, and that's what we should be treasuring, instead of bickering like raving fanboys still influenced by tv ads.

Dude, it was 1988. It wasn't definitely a faithful port, but it was what the console (and the devs) were able to crap out at that time. If it came out in 1991, I'm sure it would have been a lot better, but as it was it was definitely fun.

The SNES had better specs than the genesis in pretty much every single category except the processor, and the genesis usually had to use that extra processing power to close the graphical gap with the super Nintendo. People always forget this, but the genesis came out two whole years before the SNES. Of course it had better specs. This was probably the only generation where Nintendo actually had a technological leg-up on the competition. The legitimate completion, at least. The 3do and Neo Geo had no chance of competing in spite of their far superior specs.
>>25703294
Yeah, I'm sure they're all eagerly waiting for your wise guidance.
>>25703253
Seriously guys, it's obvious that this guy means "They're basically the same genre, so foundationally they are more similar than dissimilar" He doesn't literally mean "They're EXACTLY the same". I understand the importance of clarification, but the fact that you guys are even swayed by the belief that he must think they're the exact same game is pretty ridiculous. Anybody can deduce that two separate games are astronomically not likely to be exactly the same, especially if they're familiar with gaming in general.

The game is varied enough to not bore you, it has a fuckton of rare drops to hunt, rare monsters to find, feed and evolve so they would fight for you and on top of that it has a magic dungeon 1ith 100 levels that changes every time you visit it and hold the most powerful weapons and armors you can find on the whole game.
But every time you enter, your level drops back to 1, you must leave all of your stuff outside and you can't take anything out unless you found it on a blue chest instead of the regular red ones.
Yes, you get your levels and stuff back once you leave this dungeon.

So... can I see a Genesis game similar to THIS?
Anyone wanna come over and play Combat on the 2600 with me? I have not had a friend wanna touch it since 1996.
YOU ARE ALL FAGS!
SEGA GENESIS FOREVER!
>>25704759
I didnt play most sega genesis games until the ps2 Sonic mega Collection came out although to be honest Sega's Dreamcast was pretty fun, bookhorse.
Mega Drive, SNES...the better console was the PcEngine, you fuckwits.
>>25704818
For side scrolling shooters and Bonk. Pretty much it unless you wanna play Bomberman all day.
>>25704797
That is the cutest fucking drawing of Derpy I have ever seen. 10/10 would save again,
SEGA might have been superior in some senses, but their own hubris led them to the oversaturation that spelled their own doom. After all, there's a reason the once-powerful company doesn't make consoles anymore.
>>25697532
Enjoy your 1x1 resolution where not even my dick can fit in it.
Enjoy your shitty music and unoriginal games with no creativity put into them.
Enjoy your crappy blue mascot with horrible games.
Super Mario World > any sonic game.
Does sonic let you level select? No.
Does Sonic have any rpg elements? Fuck no.
Sonic has le dumb uber speed with no breaks, no control, no radar, which gets youn killed in 16 frames. Enjoy your 16bit trash.
Every SNES version of any game has always been superior compared to the Megadrive.
SNES had 3-lane Animaniacs while MDrive had shitty 2D platforming.
Snes had the faithful to the arcade version TMNT while Genesis had greatly reduced levels and no innovation.

holy shit! i got that game

Snes almost never used the 512x448 mode because the 64KB of VRAM limited quite a lot the number of tiles you could have on that mode.
The game on the pic is pretty much the only game to use it ingame.
>>25704925
Snes runs its games at 256x224, while genesis runs em at 320x224.
Also genesis is full of great games, but sega fanboys don't care about those because muh sega first party shit.
>>25706288
>Also genesis is full of great games
Care to list a few?
I can help you by menctioning Rocket Knight Adventures and Gunstar Heroes.
>>25706309
My mind is quite blank at the moment but i can remember
Shinning force 1/2, granada, contra hard corps, Pulseman, Shinobi 3, Herzog Zwei, thunderforces, Landstalker, Quack shot,Phantasy star 4..
>>25706225
I didn't think that there were any SNES games that used the high resolution graphics mode. I figured it was a purely theoretical capability based on the hardware components.
>>25706288
The enhanced color palette in the SNES went a long way towards making the games look more detailed than the genesis, because I could have sworn the genesis ran at the lower resolution of the two.
>>25704925
The genesis version of Street Fighter 2 ran with a much more consistent framerate than the SNES version, due to the improved clock speed of the CPU. The voice samples were much better on the SNES version, if that's what you're looking for in a fighting game.
>>25706309
Well, are we counting games that were ported, like Aladdin and Mortal Kombat? Some of those were good, but I would hesitate to say they were good Genesis games. They were just good games.
>>25706402
Isn't the alladin game on the genesis much better than the one on SNES? I heard that Disney actually worked with the developers on the genesis version to help draw and animate the sprites.
>>25706391
The genesis DAC is quite bad, and blur the picture horizontally quite badly.
Some games actually abuse it to "increase the number of colors" by using vertical stipples.
>>25697620

Even way back in the day I had a SNES emulator running on my Win95 computer. ZSNES came out in 1997, five years after the console.
I played Turtles in Time, Link to the Past and then some on those.
Also had some old game boy/color emulator.
Even by that day's standards, that particular PC was pretty gosh darn old.

Sega can't into rpgs, adventure, explorable games.
Sega can't into inventories, save functions, stats, level ups, economy.
>>25711258
As was pointed out here: >>25706225
Pretty much only one game use the 512x448 resolution ingame because it requires "16x16" tiles to use the same screen space as the 8x8 tiles on the regular 256x224 mode, and that crushes the visual variety of the stage horribly.
And snes appart from possibly 512x224 don't offer any other video mode.

Let's not forget that awful sound process the Genesis had. Most games sounded like you were slaughter goats.
>>25711321
It was pretty much an 80's synth that on the right hands could sound very good, but finding the right hands was hard, and to make things worse, there was this "standard instrument set" that sounded just awful but was readily available so several genesis musicians did succumbed to the temptation and used it.

Oh and this is coming from a SNES kid. I had a friend who had a genesis so we got along wonderfully. He got to experience all the great RPGs Snes had to offer and I got to experience the more quirkier side on the genesis.
>All these Snes posters
Wew lad.
The Sega Genesis was originally made to contend with the Nintendo Entertainment System. It had 16 bit graphics, Blast Processing and other fancy technical terms.
Nintendo made the SNES to contend with the Genesis. Sure some of the SNES's specs were better but that's because Sega gave them a challenge.
Without the Genesis or SEGA, Nintendo wouldn't have a reason to make the SNES since they would be dominating the gaming industry unopposed.
That's why it was called the Great Console War of the 90s. Sega and Nintendo duking it out, all the while encouraging one another to do better. Rivalries tend to do that.
>>25697532
It also has ponies IN it.
>>25711579
The arcades and developers would push nintendo into doing the snes, but probably it wouln't be as good.

Yeah, Twilight. Genesis dwarfed the Snes in one aspect while being BTFO on every other aspect. And if Genesis is so great, why does the Genesis copy of Doom suck so much? The music on that copy is shit, and half the levels are missing.
>>25713365
No anon of mine will ever do the math. You'll get a 3DO and that's final.
