Best comparison EVER! Fight till the end! I'm with ya! Don't worry, there is still time for Sega to come back and make systems again

I think hope he meant complete in box? Complete as far as have beaten them? I dunno. I have about 60 genny games and about 70% are CIB. There are so many other great games other than sonic that are awesome. Strider, Mega Bomberman, Vectorman, Flashback, Comix Zone, and pretty much every Disney game ever made had the best iteration on the Genesis (looking at you, Aladdin)

Thats a pretty sweet collection, I have about 70 CIB Genesis games, and about 15 cart-only. It just keeps on growing!
Damn you Nintendo fan boys get out of the Sega forums! Let us lick our wounds and talk of better times in peace. The war is over 5 year old kids and soccer moms out numbered Dudes with good taste we know this all to well! But I urge you to google the Sega Tower of power and bask in its awesomeness.

I suppose next your comparison will be to the Confederacy in the American Civil War. The South will rise again, eh?
You know, gentlemen, sometimes I find your fanatical adherence to a marketing campaign that died fifteen years ago to be a bit disturbing, albeit amusing.
I fell in love with Sega the first time I played my Uncle's SMS. I had a Nintendo at the time, and thought the Master System was infinitely better, mostly because the SMS Ghostbusters was about 300 times better than the NES version. Still, I loved my tried and true NES, and it is what all of my friends had anyway.. Fast forwarding a few years I started saving up for a SNES. I was under 10 at the time, and this was no easy task. I had maybe $20 or so and pretty much gave up. That Christmas I opened my very first Sega Genesis. I got Joe Montana Football (the original one,) Pat Riley Basketball and Thunder Fox. This was not my first exposure to the black beauty, but my first chance at holding that wonderfully huge 3 button controller for the first time. After the initial disappointment, I quickly grew to love my Genesis. Some of my friends got Segas, some got Supers, but I dont think anyway really looked down on anyone else during that era. I played a lot of sports games, especially the NHL series and I was quite happy to have a Genesis over an SNES. After the initial disappointment, I never looked back. To this day I am happy I had a Genesis and not a SNES. For some reason (gasp) the Super Nintendo doesn't impress me. These days, I have about 60 Genesis games (not counting 32x or CD games.) I have 8 SNES games (also have 4 on VC), and to be honest, they never get any play. Couldn't tell you why, just cant get into it. Not saying the SNES sucks, it just doesnt appeal to me and never has.

Sega Versus Nintendo has been over for years. If you're still concerned with it and or debating who won you have no life and need to find something else to be obsessed with.
I will have nothing to do with people arguing which billion dollar corporation makes the better video game hardware. The "fan boys" fail to realize that these company do not even know that they exist much less do they care about your blind loyalty. Why would you limit what games you play just because it's not on the hardware manufacturers system that you like? buy all the systems and just have fun with video games.
I don't post on here a lot because i go by this way of thinking:
SHUT UP AND PLAY
Nickfli: to be safe- i put condoms on everything. Even friends.
Haha. Great analogy with the Sega/Serenity thing. Although, I could see Sega's browncoats being made of leather and inexplicably having patches of a tiger sewn onto them. But at least Malcom Reynolds would know Jujitsu.

Yeah. But if they had mentioned the other games, then there wouldn't have been a joke.
When it came to siding with Nintendo or Sega, I was about as fairweather as you could be. Growing up, I alternated between the two in each generation: NES, then Genesis, then N64, then Dreamcast...before eventually going back and picking up most of the others made by the two companies. In the end, I'd consider myself more of a Sega fan than anything.
Concerning the Super NES and Genesis, and console wars in general, I just thought they were a lot more interesting back then. Everyone was fighting over the same group of consumers: kids and teens who were fanatical about their video games. There was no sub-sect of casual gamers to fall back on. Back then, a "casual game" meant that it didn't kill you 20 times before reaching the end of the first stage. All of the game companies were in direct competition with each other -- innovating, ripping off, slinging mud, pulling hair, and just doing whatever they could to appeal to the the same niche group of gamers. It was awesome!
Now it's just not the same. Ask Microsoft or Sony what they think about the Wii and they'll be like, "Oh, Nintendo's doing a great job expanding the market" or "We're not really competing with them". The closest thing we have to an actual console war is a couple of fanboys on a message board somewhere debating that the online modes or DLC in an otherwise identical game is better on their platform of preference. Yawn, damn it! Yawn.

Yeah, it's a sad state of affairs. Back in the day Nintendo and Sega could say they weren't competing with the Jaguar or the 3DO since those systems were utter failures from day one. The Wii is the top seller this generation, and somehow no one bats an eye when MS and Sony say they aren't competing with Nintendo.
In my day the console wars were real. There was a certain part of the playground where the Sega guys hung out, and everyone knew you didn't go over there. They were a small but territorial group. One time there was a rumble, with some fantastic music and choreography.
