I give up. The Genesis is true 16Bit and the PCE is a 16Bit imposter.

Don't let this thread die!  It's very interesting to read.

OK.

The TurboGrafx-16 singlehandedly beats down all contenders including Genesis, SNES and Neo Geo. Blockbuster hits like Boxyboy and the TV Sports titles are proof.

Boxyboy TROUNCES Last Resort.

I JUST PLAYED SYSTEM CARD 2.0. WOW.

IT IS SUPERIOR TO THE ENTIRE LINE OF SEGA CONSOLES.

Oh man. I was playing NHL 2010 with some buds on the 360 and then I sneaked my Turbo Duo out and threw on some TV Sports Hockey, and their faces lit up just like the really cool dudes from the old TG commercials. TV Sports Hockey ftw!

Effing System Card 2.0 fanboys.  I don't know why you guys continues to praise how great it is when the sequel is far better.  It is even built in to some of the later systems because it was so fun.  Remember how Alex Kidd was built into the SMS 2?  Same thing here.

Only the over-hyped System 3.0 is easily crushed by the superior System 3.01 in full-USA-english, without those ugly "PC Engine" graphics ruining the title screen. Plus it's a full year more advanced. Just as the wimpy 2.0 is outclassed by the 2.01 and 2.10. I mean, the only thing that the 2.0 has going for it over the 1.0 is CD+G support. Of course, all of these look like garbage when compared to the sexy Games Express cards.

[SuperDeadite]

1.0 = LEGIT!

How can you talk about system cards this way? The Arcade Card is clearly the best because it doesn't have any numbers at all. Just like Windows ME was better than Windows 98 and XP was better than 2000, the Arcade Card is better than any of those numbered cards. There was even an Arcade Card Pro, and as everyone knows, putting the word Pro on the end of something makes it more awesome, just like people with Type R stickers on their cars. Those words change EVERYTHING.

my car would be faster if I painted it RED.

Back to reality for a moment, I thought the Genesis was ass when I was younger. I did own one for a short time, but traded it in. I had a 1st gen unit, and the picture was grainy and washed out. The audio was OK, but some of the sports games I played had barely intelligible voice samples that sounded cheap.

It just goes to show what a shitty video encoder can do to a first impression. These days I'm a fan of the Genesis/Megadrive, now that I've seen it on better equipment. The SNES and the TG16 on the other hand had a far superior video encoder, so I thought they looked amazing back then. They were just so much brighter and clearer than the Genesis (not taking the colors into consideration, because I couldn't tell on my TV at the time).

When I was younger (3ish), we got a Sega.

Sonic was immediately cooler than Mario.  Even at the gimpy age of 3 I thought mario 1 was "slow and gay". (actual words used).  I still will prefer Mario 2 over any other Mario in existence.  It's slowish, but its so fun.

I was too young to give a rats ass about graphics/hardware/stuff.     I just wanted to see cartoony crap flying around.

I thought GnG for NES looked good.

Now, I am like "WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH HIM".

[blueraven]

I thought this was appropriate.

Welcome back, Sinistron

In response to two out of Guyjin's five PCEDAI listed clears being for a system card and a tennokoe card- this is what people are saying!
