Youtube VG fans who think the Genesis is one of the, if not thee, best console ever ! Few and far in between but :
Talks fanboyism 5:40 to 6:40
This might be a v4/v5. High Def Graphics with Sonic Game might be a v5. As v2 and v3 came with Altered Beast.
Anyone who isn't a total idiot fanboy would have to admit the Genesis is probably in the top 5 greatest consoles ever. Anything less than that and you've got some ridiculous cluelessness and bias going on. It's also a valid argument that it could be the best of all time, but it's not always easy to truly pick out the best among multiple high quality contenders. Anyway, if I had to give a totally objective listing of the top 5 consoles of all time (in no particular order), they'd be:
- Sega Genesis
- NES
- SNES
- PlayStation 1
- Atari 2600 (for being the first to go more or less mainstream)
An honorable mention would go to the Sega Master System due to it's insane success in Europe and Brazil. However, being an American, I'm looking at it with my American bias here.
Your list fails. It doesn't have tha Saturn on it . :p
Oh, I love my Saturn, but it was a market failure, and in the spirit of objectivity, I had to leave it off, regrettably.
Well people like to stick with/defend what know. I'm really not sure what's stopping people from actually giving the Genesis a shot even through emulation except from wild and unfounded speculation that it's an inherently bad console with no redeeming qualities.Quote:

You should add to that list Mark, from Classic Game Room.

Also, if the mainstream opinion states that the Snes/Playstation 12345678 is the BEST OF ALL-TIME then you know they're wrong ;)

^ Bernie? Why Bernie? By 1997 when Stolar joined SOA, Saturn was done.
Back on topic:
Hey man, the 2600 had Space Invaders, and supposedly it was a decent port. :PQuote:

^that would be the ps2 then who is still lord and master
and by that popularity=quality logic the wii U is piss poor then
Also, that's the second iteration of the JP Saturn, the first was grey and the second was white. ;)Quote:

My launch North American Saturn is the last console I would part with. Screw those goofy Japanese colors.Quote:
