The REAL question was:
GENESIS VS. TURBOGRAFX-16 - WHICH ONE DID YOU BUY?
I'm sure a bunch of us remember the launch periods in that eventful year (1989?) It seemed the Turbografx and the Genesis were launched almost at the same time!
It made for some agony at the store while sitting there checking out both tasty newfangled and powerful consoles. On one counter we had the Genesis.. with Altered Beast so arcade perfect it seemed. Then on the other we had the Turbografx, with Keith Courage on demo play but with such sweet titles like Blazing Lazers right there at launch.
If I recall correctly they were both about 200 bucks. I chose Genesis and loved it. But I so wanted a TG-16 as well. And since I was a young, dumb and drunk college kid, I made up for it a week later by going back to the store and shoplifting a tg-16 system.
So, which did YOU choose?
