Best 16-bit Console

[EvilEvoIX]

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.

On this list it's the Genesis by a Mile, or at least it should be.  The Cost, Availability, and quality of the Library makes it so.

No way. 3/4 of a mile in terms of value. 1/2 mile in terms of wing.

It's nice to be on someone's mind, someone always thinking of me, just floating around in someones head for no particular reason.


That said I stand by my comments, based on Price Alone the Genesis owns.

I voted SNES and Genesis because they are the only two 16-bit consoles on that list.

Here in the states?  Sure they owned for almost a decade.  NEO ruled the arcades at that time as well.  Japan REALLY loved the PCE and really had a good run over there and it took the SNES a REAL long time to catch up.  If the states had proper marketing and could compete fairly with the draconian Nintendo system at the time we might have had a different winner in the states.

I think his point was that neither the PCE or Neo are 16-bit consoles, Eve.

S....N....E....S ?? 
Genie ies?   
 
Never heard of them.   


now this PC Engine, I took the PC engine to town once.  if you know what I'm saying. 

anyway you should probably all obey some after using such words as SNES and Genny, before the gods reign punishment upon you.

Genesis is as good as you can get

I agree, thank you for sharing.  Especially based upon the price  I mean you can get a Model 2 for like $10 and a copy of Sonic for a $1.  Most of the library is well under $100 so yeah, Genesis wins by a mile.

If you'll excuse me, I have some buck angel bids to get back to.

Yeah Bucks a stud, happy fapping.

Correct.  One could make an argument for the TG16/PCE being on that list, but not the Neo-Geo.  In my opinion, of course.

I never understand the point of threads like this.  I can see why people would be talking about this stuff back in the day when we were kids, and you were probably only going to own one console per generation thus making it a huge decision to pick one.  But I would say that most people here (not all, but most) have at least 3 of the 4 consoles on that list.  So what's the point of trying to decide which one is best?  In my opinion, they are all ESSENTIAL parts of my gaming library.

Typical Sega fanboy. You just can't accept that the reason Nintendo is still in business is because they make the best games. Second place is the first loser. "Also good" is the excuse of losers who won't admit that they know their console's games can't compete.

I sincerely hope you're joking...unless you're actually trying to make an ass of yourself.

Yes, I seriously hate Sega (despite my previous posting history) and spout the same cliches that get tossed around each time these discussions come up on NeoGaf, Nintendoage, youtube, etc, because I honestly believe them to be the truth. Hail Nintendo. [sarcasm emoticon]

You don't seriously think that SNES sounds like redbook do you?

[Punch]

It sounds like redbook? It depends, if it is early 90's CD redbook like many CDROM² titles for the PCE then yes. But even the mightiest synthesizer chips have their limitations.

What? No.
