In terms of value it's the Sega Genesis by a mile.  You can get a system for $10, "A" list games for $5, and they are almost all pretty common and have their cases.  All the other systems get stupid expensive, the Genesis by far the best bang for the buck.

Clearly the Atari Lynx is the best 16 bit system! :dance:

Turbo Grafx 16 wasn't on the list, so I voted for something else. PC Engine wasn't what I originally bought, it was a Turbo Grafx 16. :) Had PC Engine stayed only in Japan, who knows when I would have played any of those games, if at all? I may have seen it as, "That Japanese game system with all the shooters.".

I just tell myself that they are all opinions and not based in fact and the poll is okay.  I personally think the Genesis is better than the SNES for many many things despite the color limitations.  The fact Sega didn't have to essentially add new hardware to the carts themselves like the SNES and still got comparable results is pretty telling to me. 

I go the other way for a few reasons.

First off among exclusive (for the generation games) there aren't a whole lot of Genesis cartridge games I define as great. Warsong, Phantasy Star II and IV, Streets of Rage II, Castlevania Bloodlines, Sonic 1-3, The Genesis version of Aladdin and El Viento.

When I compare that to the huge slew of games exclusive to the SNES for that generation I consider to be great Mario World, Yoshi's Island, Zelda 3, Super Metroid, Final Fantasy II, Final Fantasy III, Chrono Trigger, Earthbound, Super Mario Kart, Mega Man X, Kirby Super Star, Super Castlevania IV, TMNT Turtles in Time, Contra 3.

Generally though not universally I've found that games available for both platforms wound up being a little better on the SNES. There are some exceptions but more often than not that's the case.

I never understood the anti-SNES/SFC sentiment. Folks who follow this path are denying themselves a wealth of amazing games.

The MegaDrive/Genesis library has exceptional games in every genre, this is its strength, IMHO.

I feel that the SNES/SFC, however, still holds it's own against MD/Gen for the reasons you stated (exclusives, slightly better versions of multi platform games). Of course, Genesis fans are going to get defensive and start hollering that Bloodlines and Hard Corps and Rocket Knight and __________ offer the superior experience...let's cede this point (though it is debatable). There are still plenty of fantastic SNES/SFC games from Konami (Parodius, Sunset Riders, etc.) and other developers to counteract this alleged deficit.

DEAR GOD, I WILL NOT GIVE UP EITHER SNES OR GENNY.

neo is 24bit
SNES, not sure
GENI is 16bit, but unimpressive in most games
PCE is 8+16 but makes the geni look bad
note the NES was 8+8

The PCE is my all time favorite, but SuperNES is still well ahead of Feka Genesis.

If the Neo was 24 Bit so was the Sega Genesis (Which had VERY impressive Games Graphically)
SNES was a very slow 16-Bit Machine
PCE was 8-Bit but faster than a SNES
Nes was 8-bit.

I voted SNES and Genesis. There was no option for Intellivision.
