This game would have made the SNES cry itself to sleep. It pushed the Genesis/mega drive to the limit with the parallax scrolling and sprites on screen. It was another game that showed that the genesis could produce great music.

Who really gives a shit? Both systems had great games and neither was like the other. I do wish Sega were still making consoles so that Nintendo fanboys would at least be beat up once in awhile by Sega fanboys.

I love both systems. I am however, slightly more inclined to the Mega Drive (that's what the Genesis is called over here). more because I grew up playing the system and I think that gives me the soft spot! :)

@sadeviant

sorry that it's not the snes.my faforite is the nes,then comes genesis it's an uderated and hated system while it did many things good people don't wan't to see or admit the class of the system and bulch their snes story's over it.yeah i know RPG's and mario zoo etc(boring).And if the snes isn't the point they grab the old tg16/cd and thorw in a colour story,in the end of the day genesis eats the the tg16/cd,sapphire didn't look that great. neo geo aes eats em all.it's all personal.

@aryinc It's pretty noticeable. I can tell that nothing is going to sway you from GENESIS IS TEH GREATEST ZOMG so I'll not bother. :)

@sadeviant

Btw how worse is that colour lack on the genesis actually? i find early to late games good to great looking even their arcade version did well wth lesser colours and what actually is a colour limit @release.nggp 16bit colour limit compared to other 16bitter still great thing,nes has a colour limit compared to tg16 gg and mastersystem,the colour limit thing has nothing to do with the graphical impressivness of a game.it's like a bitch fit.

@sadeviant

i know.but man wolfenstein 3d mk1 etc it's a bitter pill still love the damn thing really much.oc engine is awesome 2 esspecialy those shooter but 'for comparising.Strder genesis vs tg16 genesis wins,devils crush defnitly genesis.there aren't many port's from pc engine and genesis but i know genesis got the sweater overall deal of both comix zone sonic vectorman ewj etc need i say more '''variety''snes also was great.

@aryinc Compare the graphics in Raiden on the PC Engine and Genesis. Compare Lords of Thunder especially. The PC Engine could easily produce as much detail and with any direct comparison the lack of color really shows on the Genesis. It may have had "only" and 8 bit CPU but that didn't seem to hobble it.

You also forget Nintendo mysteriously softened their censorship stance when they figured out there was a lot more money to be made around the time Mortal Kombat II was being ported.

@sadeviant

yeah but not the graphics of batman and robin on sgea genesis.i've seen really impressive thing on pc engine tg16 but a majority of games more colours or not don't have it going aggainst the sega.comix zone ristar batman and robin,games with low colour rate that look like a rainbow.snes is nothing shot from awesome only nintendo sucked for they're censoring stuff on snes,a defnite win for sega @that time.

[sadeviant]

@aryinc Well like I said - there's a lot of sprite layer trickery that can be done on any of the three systems. Also that "8 bit" system still displays more on-screen colors than the Genesis. :)

@sadeviant

yeah pretty good but diffrent from the genesis,super metriod had like 2 or 3 layers.this here looks like a ton of layers between the back and foreground layer,this looks better to me parallax wise.don't get me wrong sness still kicks ass and lord of thunder is insane only tg16/cd doesn't fully match the snes+sega genssis,duh it's an 8bit system.
