I don't blame you against the Genesis the TG16 has really no shortcomings at all quality wise, it does beat it in the a/v department, but with kids, eye and ear candy, snes smoked it. I happened to go in reverse and SNES expired, and Turbo Duo arrived with the n64 starting into a 2.5 years long drought of nothing I'd bother playing for 4-6mo at a time (wasn't into Rare collect-a-thon crap then in the 90s either.) TG/Duo is amazing.
