Super Nintendo Or Sega Genesis?

[Phillyman]

Which were you a fan boy of back in 1993 and why

I was a Nintendo Fanboy ......I really never was into Sports games .....and although Sonic and Alterbeast were fun .....I saw no real need to buy Genesis games ......I owned both systems ......But I think i only have 4 Genesis games ......While i have 30+ SNES games

There Lineup just appealed to me more ......I mean look

Super Mario World

Star Fox

Super Punch Out

Super Metroid

Legend Of Zelda LTTP

F-Zero

Mario Kart

Stunt Race FX

ChronoTrigger

Final Fantasy

Street Figther

Mortal Kombat

Killer Instinct

Donkey Kong Country

But a factor in my light Genesis collection ......Is that back then Suburban Cable offered The Sega Channel .......and i did use that for quite a while .....mainy for Comix Zone and Sonic Pinball ......and a few others

Yea i probably know this has been discussed before .....but i am bored .....Lets hear some good Fanboyism

Phantasy Star IV

Castle Of Illusion

Sonic III

Shinning Force

I must confess I never owned a SNES

I went from Pong box thingie>2600>NES>Genesis>3DO>PS1+N64

And now I just retrogame...where I do enjoy SNES greatly.

As for 1993 I was graduating HS (OOPS is my age showing :blush: ) and partying way to much for me to spend alot of time gaming that year

Many of My all time favorites were on the SNES.

Super Metroid and Zelda LTTP are some of the best games ever made IMHO.

Other all time faves include F-Zero, Mario Kart, Donkey Kong Country, Super Mario World, Star Fox, and let's not forget Pilotwings!

I was a Genesis fanboy

I despised anything Nintendo did (mostly because of Nintendo power magazine)

I eventually gave up my ignorant ways and got a SNES and loved it,

but not after spending a lot of money for a 32X and Sega CD (Lunar games rule!)

but Genesis was still my fave

[Guest RetroGoth]

SNES all the way . I lived with nintendo since the NES era so it's been a while. I never had anything against sega because their games were pretty good as well. Still, nothing compared to SNES super punch out or chrono trigger. Pretty amazing how fun I still find them after such a long time.

I was playing nintendo since its debut and was a big fan for a long time. Up until the GameCube came out. I still had a Genesis and SegaCD, but I didn't like the games for it and it just added to my Nintendo loyalty.
