I'm sure I'll get some hate for this comment, but oh well, sue me...



If you were to take the 25 best SNES games, and put them up against the 25 best Genesis games, it wouldn't be a fair fight at all. Go look at Top 100 Games of all time lists. You'll see plenty of Super Nintendo classics, in the top 10 of those lists. Zelda, Metroid, Mario World. You'll be lucky to see a single Genesis game make the top 10.

Not, that this proves anything, but I just think the SNES has a core group of games that murders just about anything on the Genesis. The only thing the Genesis really had over Super Nintendo was sports games. So, unless you're a hardcore sports game fan, I think anybody in their right mind would agree that the Super Nintendo has a much stronger top 25 games than the Genesis does.

Having said all of that... I really love the Genesis. I was a very early adopter of the Genesis, and I'll always have very special memories about that machine. I got my Genesis a few days after Pat Riley Basketball came out (around August of 1990). I was a huge Genesis supporter in the early days, and I was really rooting for them in their battle with Nintendo. However, I can't try to pretend that the Genesis was a better system, just because I prefer to root for the underdog. The Genesis does have a fantastic library of games, without question, but I just don't think it can carry the SNES's jockstrap if I'm really honest with myself.
