The Genesis model 1 sound reproduction with a Yamaha 2612? Soundchip and the later versions of the model 2 that fixed the bad audio amplification provide superior sound to the VA7 model 1 and early model 2's. The sonic games had great soundtracks, as did the bomberman game, and many many others I am too lazy to list. I prefer the Genesis sound to the Super Nintendo's. If a system had combined the Genesis's processor and audio with the Super Nintendo's controllers, video capability, and arguably greater game library, you would have had the ultimate 16 bit machine.

A point in the SNES' favor that I forgot to mention: When they designed it, they included extra cartridge data lines knowing they would use them at some point. Later on they did exactly that with the Super FX chip which made up for the slower CPU whereas Sega, well they got kinda weird with their hardware... The Sega CD was a good idea, perhaps a bit ahead of its time and the technology wasn't fully there yet, but given another year of development or a new version with better technical specs and backwards compatibility with early Sega CD titles, they could have really had something... Then they came out with the 32X... then the Saturn very shortly after that which sabotaged 32X sales. Then it turned out the Saturn was a multi CPU beast that was hard to develop games on and well, that eventually killed Sega as a console maker. |
