Community Newsletter Poll: Sega Vs Nintendo, the early years.

[Paul 584]

So what did you prefer? The Mega Drive and Master System or the SNES and NES?

[Ryan 188]

Definatly the NES & the SNES, there was only one game that i liked on the SEGA and that was Sonic.

[Guest ahsatan]

I've voted for Sega. I'm Nintendo through and through now, but back then I only had Sega for a while, so that's the way I voted.

[Evil Gringo 279]

I've always been a Nintendo fan more then a Sega fan because Nintendo where more inventive with their games, better controls and also more variety...

 

I owned a Master system and Mega Drive though, simply because I loved Alex the Kid and Sonic as well... But overall Mario 1, 2 and 3 beat the early Sonic's.... Only Sonic 3 and Knuckles came close... But hell Super Mario World was better then both of them too...

 

Add in better WWF games, a WCW game, Starwing, Donkey Kong Country 1, 2 and 3 and then cap it off with the Legend Of Zelda series and the SNES owned the Mega Drive...

 

And thats without the awesome imported version of Chrono Trigger as well.

[Guest Popsi]

Sega Megadrive every time! It had Aladdin as a game! How can anything beat that!

[Guest Devilish Angel]

Sega as I used to own a Master System, which I regret getting rid of as there are times I want to play Sonic and Alex Kidd :(

Well you need to get down to your local boot fair. We picked one up last year with about 20 games for a tenner.

 

For me, it's gotta be Nintendo. King of the games makers.

Alex Kidd, i remember playing that, i remember getting really annoyed because i couldnt complete it :lol

[Guest Kanenite]

I own a nes, so I voted for that. Only two games on it, which were, Super Mario 3 and Ninja turtles. I remember playing on the Megadrive round my cousins when we were young, about 6 and we would sit there and play it all night, but the Nes gets my vote.

 

Alex Kidd? Please remind me. Was that the one where you played Rock, Paper, Scissors at one point? If so, that game ruled!

Nintendo for me, the first console i ever owned was a beige gameboy, when it broke i got a white one then a silver GB pocket, though i did also own a C64, an Amiga 500 and Amiga 1200 at various times too. Currently i have the GameCube and a PS2 and plan to get both next gen machines too and possibly the handhelds.

Bah, to quote Homer Simpson:

 

Lucky cripple.................

 

 

I ahve a semi broken PS2, and thats it. I have to play games on my PC (downloaded from the net) or Top Trumps.

[Guest MrFill]

I had both the MegaDrive & SNES, but I played on the MD more - Sonic's speed blew me away, rather than having to jump in slow motion :P

 

All I have to say is Mortal Kombat - the SNES version sucked because there wasn't any blood, what kind of console won't allow blood? :P

[Guest MrFill]

Currently i have the GameCube and a PS2 and plan to get both next gen machines too and possibly the handhelds.

Bah, that's nothing :P

 

Currently:

3 Xboxes, 2 GameCubes (1 US, one UK), 1 PS2, 2 GBAs, 1 GBA SP, 1 Neo Geo, N64, SNES, and a few I'm sure I've forgotten about :P

2 Cubes, X-Box, PS2, 2 PS1's, Master System, Mega Drive, SNES, 2 N64's, GBA, DS. Let's join together and give TWO a BIG :D

[Guest Slim Jim]

Why 3 Xboxes?!?

[Guest Colin]

I was thinking that too, personally, take out one N64 and the X-Box and I'm the same as wyndorf. Just never been compelled to buy an X-Box considering my main interest in gaming is wrestling games and... well y'know.

 

Now stop waving your un-needed nerd e-penises

[Guest Alan]

I was always a Nintendo fan, i loved my NES and then my SNES, both were my life when i was younger. I couldnt stand anyone who had a sega as they couldnt match up to the fat gay plumber!

[Guest MrFill]

Why 3 Xboxes?!?

Because you can link them together for multi-player/multi-console games

 

A lot of games allow multi-console, like Halo & Halo 2 can have 4 consoles, 16 players

 

In the UK we had 4 Xboxes, all permanently networked :)

 

 

See, the Xbox is for people who have friends :D

[Guest Inno]

I had an Amstrad - FEAR THE POWER OF THE 10 MINUTE CASSETTE LOADING TIME!!!

[Guest charlie MFkin parker]

Sega. Sonic, Street Fighter 2, nuff said.

Or like to pretend to have friends anyway

[Guest Slim Jim]

See' date=' the Xbox is for people who have friends :D[/quote']

That's why I don't have one :(

[Guest MrFill]

When I was still in the UK, we had regular Thursday night Halo-fests

 

10+ people all coming round to eat pizza, drink, and play several hours of Halo - damn good fun

 

Why would I want to spend several hundred pounds/dollars to pretend that I had friends, if I wanted to pretend then I'd just save my money :P

 

 

The other reason to have several Xboxes now is that my wife and I can go on Xbox Live at the same time, but not take up TV space

 

If there's one thing that M$ did right with the Xbox is making Live so good

Keeping the tradition going MrFill sir.

 

I'll have to go with Nintendo, The Super Mario Bros game on the gameboy kept me entetained for ages.

 

Blades of steel on the NES is probably the best ice hockey game ever.

 

And the Snes made my childhood a a happy one

 

So i'm voting Nintendo.

[Guest Christof]

The NES rules. Starting playing mine again in April while at uni.

 

if anyone wnats to buy it let me know :xyx
