"Had an Amega, Mega Drive and PS1-4, loving Fall Out 4 though my character gets more action than me!"
Ah PS1 the console that killed Sega and should never have existed... (Sony tried to work on joint projects with Nintendo and Sega but got shafted by both before reluctantly creating their own!) |

"At the moment, Minecraft is my 'zoning out' game.
We have a nes, snes, n64, game cube and wii set up in the garage "
I emulate
I've grown weary of games..I feel the magics lost a little..probably mainly due to the popularity of the other consoles/game types..that arent nintendo. I see most of the games just being clones of clones on ps4/xbox1..
Single player adventures are less catered for, and even then..half of them cant even compare to games such as zelda..even mario64 is still a gaming milestone...that's been attempted to copy and failed(even by ninty themselves ffs!)
bringing me back to zelda..the new wii u one, just has something good looking about it...but the last few titles from zelda never captured me that much..I hope this will change that, and give me that feeling I got from a link to the past and ocarina of time(and a few of the handheld versions) |

I've played games most of my life, but I suppose I'd consider the 16bit era to be the pinnacle of gaming so far, the simple technology really pushed developers to use their imaginations, and much treasure was made as a result.
Many 16bit era games still feel as fresh and fun as they did over 20 years ago, much 32bit stuff is nearly unplayable. |

dreamcast was a beauty, as well as the gamecube....unfortunately these consoles were harder to program for ,so never got the life squeezed out them like the snes/megadrive.
I like it when a console is pushed to its edge in its later life..something that just doesnt happen these days, as the next console is only a couple years away. |

Fair point but if you get a 32 bit remake it can be awesome, the game cube remake of resident evil is awesome... |

"Ahh yes nintendo went with Phillips but never released n e thing
Other then phillips cdi zelda which was crap..
Oh i got a cube also"
they only licensed a game, for educational purposes..nintendo never liked the CD system..due to ease of piracy..and they did take a huge chunk of 3rd party companies monies in cartridge sales I think.. |

I wasn't a fan to be honest, RE4 isn't survival horror anymore. It's not bad, it's just different and shouldn't carry the RE name in my option. RE2 was the best by far. |

Had just about every games console going since the 1980's. Love video games, fave console of all time I think has to be the SNES, Street fighter 2 and Mario Kart on it was ace. I'm on Xbox 360 now, thinking of upgrading to xbox one soon. |

Not to mention the very fickle loading wires which you had to physically micro adjust otherwise nothing would load. Well. Nothing copied anyway.

sf2 turbo on high speed!
I prefer them on the emulators now..no slowdown lol- that was my only gripe of the snes and its 3.57mhz processor(I'm recalling that from memory lol), and the megadrive was 7 mhz..at least the snes superFX chip helped..
but remember when everyone seen donkey kong country on the snes? |

Nintendo have stood the test of time and still produce games consoles with the wii. Sega just make games now, maybe they just can't cut it anymore in the console market. |

lol the facts are plain..nintendo has been the gaming influence for the home generation..sega was essentially just porting arcade games over.
Even their best rpg's werent that great..
I even think the dreamcast was pretty poorly represented by sega..most of the AAA titles that were great werent sega produce
*an exception on shenmue possibly ...loved that game |

Streets of Rage on the megadrive or Final fight on the SNES was always a tough choice which one was best?
For Driving games i dont think anything Sega produced on the megadrive matched F-Zero on the SNES. |

Defo best footie game ever(apart from Champ manager/Tootball manager).
Simple, intuitive. Very playable. ANd the mini leagues with mates kicked serious arse!
"Started with a zx spectrum rubber keys of course then went to a Atari before getting a Amiga 1200 with hard drive sensible world of soccer best game ever "

final fight was great..but the pal versions of most snes games really didnt help..squashed screen,slowdown..
as for racing, strangely I wasnt a mariokart fan that much on the snes. F=zero I've loved all versions!-over the wipeout series anyday!
micromachines(didnt seem to matter if it was snes/megadrive), I loved..though I really loved the n64 one too.
and STILL one of the most astounding games has to be 1080 on the n64...and definitely superior over all them ssx tricky shits lol..(granted some of the stunts were nigh on impossible lol), but whatta game. |

Sega don't know how to run a business that's for sure and they rightly went to the cleaners. That's commercial success though, creatively I think they kicked the shit out of nintendo. Nintendo have never done anything like echo the dolphin or nights into dreams... |

The n64, what a game Goldeneye was on that console and it was the game that got me into first person shooters. I never had a PC back then so I couldn't play Doom. |

big killer instict fan too...think the modern ones havent really stood out(when rare left ninty they really started becoming pretty shit), perfect dark(n64), is still an astounding game.
fighting game wise ninty sucks(I dont like smash bros), though the best tekken alternative was a pretty unknown game on the n64 called fighters destiny, it actually had a really advanced and different style.Shame as it looked shit and everyone wanted tekken(me too)
*side note rant lol..soul calibur on the dreamcast..loved it..even better(apart from the gamecube controller being shit for fighting games), was soul calibur 3...as zeldas link became a character...fully fledged and brilliant...the other exclusive characters of the other consoles sucked..spawn and darth vader I think on ps3/xbox? |

For the record, anyone interested in the sound of 16bit gaming should youtube 'Metal Squad', in my mind, not only a Megadrive classic track, but one of the best game themes OF ALL TIME, seriously! |

sorry but everyone knows mario outclassed sonic...even from the nes days ffs...
sonic was the 'cool' answer to mario..the games lacked any depth,technical finess(apart from the speed), smb 4 and its 96 worlds and just hundreds of stuff you could do... sonic...er..jump...spin...watch...
Are you high? Sega does what nintendon't
lol the facts are plain..nintendo has been the gaming influence for the home generation..sega was essentially just porting arcade games over.
Even their best rpg's werent that great..
As I said above, you need to play Panzer Dragoon Saga before you can make that statement
I will check that out lol.
I think you should play some mario..make sure you complete them properly though...way more advanced than sonic...way more."
Mario is alright but sonic has better graphics and sound. Donkey Kong is a stronger competitor really. Shining Force is also awesome... |

"For the record, anyone interested in the sound of 16bit gaming should youtube 'Metal Squad', in my mind, not only a Megadrive classic track, but one of the best game themes OF ALL TIME, seriously!"
thunderforce ..brill games..where the snes couldnt shine graphically with the amount of sprites/speed.
however, we did have UN squadron..I still play that on accasion |

Are you sure you've played sonic 2? Mario was good on the NES but on 16 bits it was surpassed by sonic and Donkey Kong. In the 3D realm it made a come back though and I'd rate Mario64 over the 3D sonic games. |

Sounds self-appointed to me! Nintendo had ~90% of the 8-bit market and the megadrive sales were so so at its launch... what changed then?
In a word: 'Sonic'
Sega would just belong in the realms of interesting side products like the neo geo or jaguar if it wasn't for sonic. Mario was good but ultimately childish, repetitive and not very pretty, fast or particularly great music. |

I found the sonics nothing compared to mario I'm afraid...childish was often used to describe anything nintendo made.It was just ignorance that got worse..ignoring the fact there was deeper gameplay.I really dont see how sonic was less repetitive, because there is much more different styles of play within mario..plus its exploration aspect sets it apart.
anyway...platform purists choose mario over sonic..its been the case for many years. |

Auld 48k speccy,my fave games (that I can remember anyway!)were Bruce lee(obviously),chucky egg 2,cauldron n gauntlet.
Had a megadrive but the only game I played on it n rated was pga tour (golf game)
The snes was far superior as were the games..super Mario land/world (whichever,my memory fails me as to the exact name!)F-zero,super ghosts n goblins and the daddy of them all streetfighter2....all awesome games!
Then came the ps1 n I was hooked on wipeout n Doom for aaaaaaaages 
Looking back to my early teens I think I got the most enjoyment from the snes,well that n furious bouts of wanking myself off! |

lol..
To me its like people arguing about the better of music bands..I have no interest in any music..growing up all I cared about was films and games..
the rivalry between sega and nintendo was always a passionate one..
and remember it has been for a long time that gaming has been a billion dollar industry- and now even greater, with a wider fanbase of ages,sexes all playing games. |

Do you think your lack of interest in music contributes to your lack of appreciation of sonics overwhelmingly superior soundtrack? |

Yeah they were. It's probably why I changed when I did to be honest. But now with Steam, GOG and Humblebundle, it's the best time to be a PC gamer |

Don't know how you can say sonic is better than Mario. Its format has barely changed since the first one and the poor reviews most of them receive just show how limited the format is. Basically running from one end to another. The music is a subjective thing. The mega drive may have been faster but the she's was more powerful and has a vastly superior sound chip. Mario has mainly evolved with the times and in some ways innovated the genre. Sega fucked themselves up by producing too many consoles in such a short space of time. Megadrive, mega cd, 32x, Saturn and dreamcast (btw dream cast wasn't hard to program for, it was windows based so actually a benefit at the time, just ridiculously easy to pirate games)

"So how many of u play these..
Whats your fave console/game....
Fave console my self was megadrive as i grew up with it."
Although I do own an xbox, I prefer the PC. The game I've been playing for the longest amount of time is World of Warcraft. But looking forward to Overwatch coming out next month, cant decide weather to get the xbox or pc version. |

The first bit of that was silly, the second bit I agree with. Sega came out of nowhere in the 16-bit market, much like Sony did in the 32-bit one. Their early marketing basically involved putting 2 TV's next to each other with one playing mario and the other playing sonic. Overwhelmingly, people preferred the speed, sound and better graphics of sonic compared to watching a little fat man slowly waddle from one side of the screen to the other |

Let's be fair......
Charizard would fuck sonic and Mario right up.
I started collecting old consoles, they're fun and it's nice to have a blast from the past. Snes was my favourite .
But let's be honest they're a bit shit really. |

Hold your treasonous tongue!
I'd take megadrive or a SNES over an Xbox anyday. Modern games are dumbed down, prioritise graphics over gameplay and you can't play online without some 12-year old nerd killing you because they play the game constantly while you work |

Very true !!! A good single player with a solid story is hard to find nowadays though. That being said I'd still never let the 12 year old win |

Thoroughly recommend Fallout 4 if you want a single player game with a rich story and plenty of action. |

Fallout 4 is pretty shallow and add much as I hate to say it, a disappointing title. Go with the Witcher 3 (best game of the last 15 years IMO), Undertale, MSGV or The Last Of Us. Ori and the Blind Forest is a great single player platformer too. There are loads of great stories that never seem to grace the general population of gamers. |

Been playing Dying Light on PC for about a year and keep getting really stuck. I suck so bad at video games. A lot of my friends will testify to that. My favourites of all time though was/is GTA3 and Burnout 3 and 4.

Super Mario World sold approximately 20 million units, Sonic The Hedgehog sold 15 million. Just saying. Lol |

"Don't know how you can say sonic is better than Mario. Its format has barely changed since the first one and the poor reviews most of them receive just show how limited the format is. Basically running from one end to another. The music is a subjective thing. The mega drive may have been faster but the she's was more powerful and has a vastly superior sound chip. Mario has mainly evolved with the times and in some ways innovated the genre. Sega fucked themselves up by producing too many consoles in such a short space of time. Megadrive, mega cd, 32x, Saturn and dreamcast (btw dream cast wasn't hard to program for, it was windows based so actually a benefit at the time, just ridiculously easy to pirate games)
The first bit of that was silly, the second bit I agree with. Sega came out of nowhere in the 16-bit market, much like Sony did in the 32-bit one. Their early marketing basically involved putting 2 TV's next to each other with one playing mario and the other playing sonic. Overwhelmingly, people preferred the speed, sound and better graphics of sonic compared to watching a little fat man slowly waddle from one side of the screen to the other
Super Mario World sold approximately 20 million units, Sonic The Hedgehog sold 15 million. Just saying. Lol"
Yes we've established that nintendo was more of a commercial success than sega, a lot of that is due to how useless sega's management was. Sony f-ed both of them up in the 32-bit era but not many of the iconic games on this thread came from them - hence the difference between commercial and artistic quality |

but you said "overwhelmingly" - which suggest that Sonic sold more and its not true. Either way, it'll be interesting to see what Nintendo do with the NX which is apparently meant to come out this year. |

My comment stands, Pepsi was preferred in the head to head 'Pepsi - challenge' over . Coke still sold more. The two aren't directly correlated. Total sales have more to do with distribution and the fact more people owned a SNES anyway. But put the two side by side and as the average gamer which one they'd rather play and it was sonic by a landslide. Some of that translates to them going out and buying a megadrive, some doesn't... |

"Oh pwned by a 12 year old
I bet your online gaming turns into rage sessions hehe
But I agree ... Retro beats Xbox any day !!!
I just don't get games these days. I much prefer a computer opponent where you figure out how to beat them. Modern games just seem to be a battle of who has the most spare time to practice...
Very true !!! A good single player with a solid story is hard to find nowadays though. That being said I'd still never let the 12 year old win
Thoroughly recommend Fallout 4 if you want a single player game with a rich story and plenty of action.
Fallout 4 is pretty shallow and add much as I hate to say it, a disappointing title. Go with the Witcher 3 (best game of the last 15 years IMO), Undertale, MSGV or The Last Of Us. Ori and the Blind Forest is a great single player platformer too. There are loads of great stories that never seem to grace the general population of gamers. "
If people want a good single player experience you can't go far wrong with the Batman Arkham games.
Fave RPG game was also Star Wars Knights of the old Republic on the first Xbox which was a great single player game. |

Well you suggested the comparison. You're quite welcome to throw the music in too. Mario has numerous classic tunes, I think most people would be hard pressed to remember many classic sonic tunes. Either way if your theory was right, the sales would reflect that. Sonic has never innovated, the mario games on the whole have progressed. Like I say it subjective which one you prefer but the sales alone have dwarfed that of sonic and the megadrive was hardly a failure |

Can't you distinguish artistic and commercial success? Are you honestly suggesting avatar was a good film just because a lot of people went to see it? (It's not a film, it's just like a really long game from the mega CD) |

Nintendo have rarely pushed the power side of consoles and many of the consoles that they released were already using outdated hardware. I personally think the love and the effort they put into making some of their games shows through, despite the restrictions. Mario has evolved and there are classic levels in a lot of them. I don't think sonic ever went anywhere other than a quick 5 minute blast to reach the end of a level. The mario soundtrack is a classic in some parts.
Games are fun regardless, however you enjoy them |

ok..my last foray into the mario vs sonic debate is lol:
its slower paced,has more to do,explore,more replay value, as in the latter games(ie the fantastic suppermario world), going back to levels with new powerups etc.
much like the vastly underrated metroid series(super metroid being a fave)- slow paced again..but actual game design, and not feeling so much on rails as sonic games...
someone mentioned spectrum Chaos..loved that game!
I suppose we should all think of the current consoles soon becoming 'retro' lol...soon its going to be augmented reality..I think it'd be amazing walking around a REAL derilict building or a spacecraft set, wearing something googleglass like, with your gun, and your zombies/aliens/soilders will displayed as if they are in that environment..
so in 5-10years time..I'll still say mario fucked sonic up the arse many times over |

You understand the occupational hazards of arse fucking an animal that has spikes on its back from behind?
Besides, if mario fucked sonic then it was consentual sex anyway because lets face it, sonic could always run away from the little fat man.
Face facts, the reason princess keeps getting kidnapped if that the koopa troopers all gang bang her and she loves it... |

In all seriousness, go to you tube and listen to:
Sonic 2 - chemical plant
Sonic 3 - ice cap zone
Sonic 2 - metropolis zone
Sonic & knuckles - flying battery zone
Then tell me what Mario has that can compete with that? The only remotely listenable bit of mario is avicii's levels remix!

Yes we've established that nintendo was more of a commercial success than sega, a lot of that is due to how useless sega's management was. Sony f-ed both of them up in the 32-bit era but not many of the iconic games on this thread came from them - hence the difference between commercial and artistic quality but you said "overwhelmingly" - which suggest that Sonic sold more and its not true. Either way, it'll be interesting to see what Nintendo do with the NX which is apparently meant to come out this year.
My comment stands, Pepsi was preferred in the head to head 'Pepsi - challenge' over . Coke still sold more. The two aren't directly correlated. Total sales have more to do with distribution and the fact more people owned a SNES anyway. But put the two side by side and as the average gamer which one they'd rather play and it was sonic by a landslide. Some of that translates to them going out and buying a megadrive, some doesn't... So graphics make a better game?
Why do you assume it was just the graphics people liked?
Well you suggested the comparison. You're quite welcome to throw the music in too. Mario has numerous classic tunes, I think most people would be hard pressed to remember many classic sonic tunes.
In all seriousness, go to you tube and listen to:
Sonic 2 - chemical plant
Sonic 3 - ice cap zone
Sonic 2 - metropolis zone
Sonic & knuckles - flying battery zone
Then tell me what Mario has that can compete with that? The only remotely listenable bit of mario is avicii's levels remix!

music was never my interest, sound quality yes..megadrive could not compete.fact. |

"Don't know how you can say sonic is better than Mario. Its format has barely changed since the first one and the poor reviews most of them receive just show how limited the format is. Basically running from one end to another. The music is a subjective thing. The mega drive may have been faster but the she's was more powerful and has a vastly superior sound chip. Mario has mainly evolved with the times and in some ways innovated the genre. Sega fucked themselves up by producing too many consoles in such a short space of time. Megadrive, mega cd, 32x, Saturn and dreamcast (btw dream cast wasn't hard to program for, it was windows based so actually a benefit at the time, just ridiculously easy to pirate games)
The first bit of that was silly, the second bit I agree with. Sega came out of nowhere in the 16-bit market, much like Sony did in the 32-bit one. Their early marketing basically involved putting 2 TV's next to each other with one playing mario and the other playing sonic.

I did a test at work on this. I asked them to sing some mario tunes and most came up with something. I then asked them to sing some sonic tunes. Very few knew any and from what they did sing was the green hills zone from the first game and even then they had to think about it. Like I say though. Games are a great bit of escapism, whatever you enjoy. It'd be a terribly boring world if it was different |

as I say, nusic was never that much an importance to me...but the snes soundchip was pretty special at that time..I mentioned castlevania earlier, great orchestral score..but the first time i went into a cavern in smb world..the stereo sound echoes as u popped along were astounding. |

Oh please, they are far more important than that. A significant proportion of my childhood happiness was robbed by sega's incompetence over the Saturn.

I think you just have a fetish for plumbers to be honest. Let's put sonic to one side. Donkey Kong Country 1, 2 & 3 had better graphics, better soundtrack and all the depth and gameplay that mario ever had. So I'm not just nintendo bashing... |

"So how many of u play these..
Whats your fave console/game....
Fave console my self was megadrive as i grew up with it.
Had just about every games console going since the 1980's. Love video games, fave console of all time I think has to be the SNES, Street fighter 2 and Mario Kart on it was ace. I'm on Xbox 360 now, thinking of upgrading to xbox one soon. "
Get one I have Xbox one and PlayStation 4 love them both .. But Xbox is awesome |

It's a slow game as you're hiding from the Xenomorph quite a bit. Very tense at some moments.
I played the first one all way through.
Only played a demo of 2. |

"Double dragon on the Sega Master system. 
target renegade spectrum
oh..and marble madness
and head over heels(and the isometric batman)"
YES!
Head over Heels was bloody brilliant.
Similar graphics(monochrome, 3rd person, quarter side on view), but Great Escape was good too. Just could never work out how to avoid the dogs when the alarm went off. |
