Whooping Crabs posted:Whole lotta people comparing hardware capabilities of the Genesis to the SNES when it should be compared to the NES - (Super Mario Brothers 3 was released after the Genesis came out lol). Genesis/Master System came out 2 whole years before the SNES. Yeah but by that logic the NES came out six years before the Genesis

RossMan4Life posted:Disagree. Generally, SNES was the better version. With regard to Aladdin & Jurassic Park, the SNES got the lesser versions. Aladdin on SNES was an apple collecting game. Genesis version didn't have that goal and was better for it. IIRC, it was a port got both consoles and the Genesis one was better done, even looking (maybe sounding?) better. Flashback was the same kinda deal. I'm pretty sure Flashback on the SNES is considered the definitive one. What made the Genesis one better?

Klauser posted:MK on SNES didn't have blood but it did have 2 punch buttons and a block button. It also had way better graphics and sound. I don't think the Genesis one had any voice acting at all except for "fight" and "fatality". Nintendo was a really lovely company in the 80s and 90s. Suing Game Genie, going after Nintendo geocities fan sites, poo poo like that. But I kinda do agree with them forcing MK1 to be censored, because it was before video games had ratings. So a 7 year old could go to the store and buy MK1 with no questions asked. When MK2 came out, they allowed blood because it was the first iteration of the ESRB. It didn't really have the ESRB rating system yet but the game said 17+ on it and I remember having to ask a nice man at FuncoLand to buy the game for me because they would not sell it to me. Nintendo didn't want to deal with a bunch of angry parents trying to return violent games (you're not allowed to return opened video games except to exchange for the same title) so it was understandable on their part, as much as I hate censorship. Once the ESRB came into fruition they stopped giving a poo poo. I mean, they are the company that put out Killer Instinct like 3 years later and all. A Strange Aeon posted:Someone mentioned the Shadowrun games earlier and while I like them both for different reasons, it struck me as weird that there were two completely unique games set in the same setting with the same name on different systems. Both Shadowrun games made by FASA, which makes it even more strange. And yeah it really is weird how some systems had two completely different games across platforms for the same game. Another example is Aladdin, but at least those two versions were made by two completely different companies. I'm trying to think of more. This one is a bit weird. Maniac Mansion on the Famicom is completely different than the US NES version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRXNR3pttz0 FWIW I think the SNES Shadowrun is way superior. The music is incredible and I love the atmosphere and isometric/Mario RPG perspective the game had. I always thought it was really lame in the Genesis one you didn't really go into buildings. It just popped up a text box with a guy talking when you walked into a door. It's not a bad game, it's just that I love the SNES one so much. Also a code was discovered for it 20 years after the game came out: https://tcrf.net/Shadowrun_%28SNES%29#Debug_Room Chumbawumba4ever97 fucked around with this message at 15:27 on Apr 19, 2019 |

UnfortunateSexFart posted:I fully admit I bought the Genesis refresh only because it looked great. Still prefered SNES though because 256 colours was brutal even back then. I got that Kolibri game for my 32x because goons kept recommending it for how beautiful it looks. It does have a nice art style but there's dithering everywhere and it looks like it has the same color color pallette limitation as the Genesis It actually would look kind of lovely even for an SNES game, forget about 32x

Angelwolf posted:I'm not sure what you mean? I can't believe a console with artwork like that would fail Jesus Christ they spend how many millions making a game, then millions more manufacturing carts, they couldn't spend $500 on a loving artist? I'm convinced that grid pattern is what they drew on and just didn't bother to remove it for the box art.

mind the walrus posted:How are there loving still SEGA hardware add-ons I'm finding out about in 2020? I'm in the middle of reading old video game magazines and I learned of something new too. Sega was apparently going to have cartridge games for the Saturn (explains why there is a cartridge port even though it was only used for game saves and ram upgrades) and they were actually going to release a console called the Jupiter, that was only the cartridge portion of the Saturn

A Pack of Kobolds posted:Were there any redeeming qualities of the Master System? I've only ever played a few random emulated games and holy gently caress were they unplayably bad. I didn't grow up with a Master System so it's not nostalgia but Wonder Boy in Monster Land is really good, despite being impossible. Also Alex Kid in Hi Tech World is really good because there's nothing else quite like it on the planet.

All of my Sega CD discs are slowly eroding from bit rot. Note that I have never had any other disc in my entire life succumb to this but eight of my ten Sega CD games did.
