"While I owned the SNES, my best friend owned the Genesis - what was he thinking?! ?
The Genesis was a solid system, but had nowhere near the quality of games as the SNES (at least for my tastes). Sonic was fun, but I’ll take Mario any day.
Though, I will admit that the Genesis version of Aladdin was superior to the SNES."
"My first system, although called the Megadrive in England so always get super confused, absolutely the best. Would spend hours playing Streets of Rage with my dad. "
"Never had my own but my friends introduced me to Sonic, the controller was sleek and something new compared to nintendo which u still see in today's controllers. "
"We were a Sega Genesis household before we had an SNES and there was nothing wrong with that. The Sonic run on Genesis alone was killer. Everything was a bit gritter and rougher around the edges compared to Nintendo, but not in a flawed way. The sports games were top tier as well. Some quirky and unique ones on here as well. "
"I think the internal console wars for me started between the SNES and the Genesis. SEGA was edgy, dark, and had games like Gunstar Heroes and Jurassic Park. "
"Literally every game I owned on this was Sonic mainline or spin-off. They were fun but it couldn’t peel me away from NES and SNES for the most part. "
"I really wanted to like the Genesis because I can from a Master System. It looked great and had some enjoyable game too. I think the controller was a step up from previous generations like the Master System and NES but the SNES controller felt much better to me. "
"Very very fond memories of this system, mostly due to introducing me to Sonic Games. I know I’m weird, but Sonic Spinball was my favorite game on this console!"
"Great system with some great games. The controller was more comfortable than the others of the time, but lacked buttons. The 6 button version wasn’t great due to all 6 being thumb buttons. "
"I had the Genesis and not Super Nintendo back in the day. Loved the system and games. I think the D-pad was great, especially for Mortal Kombat moves."
