Gift of cherished friend.

Acknowledged maybe ten seconds per month (ducky -- not cherished friend) while soaping/rinsing nutz, typically.

Also not "Babe Ruth Ducky 2008 - World Destroyer Collision 4: Enemies At War".

Valid, but I can't remember the last time that I spent time at at this/these sportz bar(s). Was it Busters or The Crescent? However, I did hang out with my cool friend Robbie tonight. We told stories. I also spent some time with my iron-fed lawn, Andrew The Dog and Jonathan Broxton's okay fire-lit relief app3aranc3. I chose these things from among a set of pre-programmed options that I control with a small electronic paddddler, much like an elevator or Dick Cheney's heart.

He said as he typed on the internet.

You see, it turns out that I am only a 2d-scroller fanatic.

Now back to the yak-milk self-flagellation.

The Super Ninetendo has a horde of classic games - serious fucking classics that still are awesome - and even shitty Super Nintendo games were often fun regardless.

Chrono Trigger
Final Fantasy VI
Super Metroid
Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
Earthbound
ActRaiser
Super Mario Kart
Super Mario World
Secret of Mana

All of these games completely annihilate anything the Genesis had to offer (sorry, Shining Force).

Super Nintendo Wins. One minor waffle for their early censorship policy.

SNES had Donkey Kong Country and Super Tennis.

Official first mention of Earthbound in this thread.

Maybe one could compare which console's controlller it feels the most gratifying to have stuck up one's anus for an afternoon.

(Sega all the way in that case.)

Genesis had its moments, but SNES was truly a magical system. It had similar kinds of good games that the NES had except more expansive and a little bit more consistent. There were also about 100 different good super famicom games never released for the SNES in the US that have been translated and can be emulated.

All my friends had Genesis, so that was what I got used to.

SNES is probably a superior system, but I always liked Genesis more.

I liked both of these consoles.

Some of the early games for each were downright poor: Ultraman V Altered Beast, anyone?

I was fond of the Nintendo Entertainment System and the Sega Master System as well.

I like playing the games I never had on emulators and revisiting the ones I did play; often with a sense of unfinished business.

The SNES had the Capcom and Konami games and that swings it for me.
