I was brought up a SEGA kid and I am pretty proud to call Sonic my homie.

 

In my mind the SEGA Master System II is the greatest console of all time.

 

I would love to hear peoples thoughts about which SEGA consoles are better than their Nintendo equivalents.

 

I was also sad that the Dreamcast failed. It was such a crazy console, I had a friend that still played his as his primary console until 2003.

 

So let the battle begin, SEGA vs Nintendo!

Haha - This is sure to get the Curicon community divided!

 

I'm 100% a SEGA guy. My childhood would not have been the same without my SEGA Mega Drive (Genesis).

 

Me and my best mate played Alex Kidd, Sonic, California Games & all the rest for hours and hours.

Everyone was getting along so well! Now this :)
 

I never had a SEGA myself (deprived childhood?). Playing Genesis at friends' houses was always good though, big Sonic fan. Also loved the beginning of every game: "Saaaygahhhh".
 

With that out of the way, I'm putting N64 into the ring against the Saturn. The N64 was my first console (again, deprived childhood) and I still love it over my Wii and 360. The combination of Mario Kart, Super Mario and GoldenEye is just too perfect. Throw in some Super Smash... so good. I liked the design of the console, the controllers were pretty weird, but comfortable and the pistol grip Z button was good for shooters.

Comparing that to the Saturn... I had one friend who had one and we played it a few times. I didn't particularly like the design, but that was mainly the CD thing... I still prefer cartridges. The controller seemed a bit stuck in the past. The games... you know I can't really remember. Sonic 3D or something. Don't know, but I'm going count that as unmemorable and give the point to Nintendo! Sure, I'm biased cos I owned a 64, but nothing about the Saturn really caught me.

I'm giving it to N64 with a knockout.

Going say Sega had it up until the Genesis (at least), they had a real arcade feel to them. Nintendo's were good, but did (and kinda still do) feel like they were for kids.

The Genisis was called the "Mega Drive" in Australia. My friend had one (he traded up from MSII), it was an awesome machine.

 

I would love to get my hands on a Mega Drive II with the SEGA CD Add-on!
