Sorry for the nerdy post but these are blatantly the two best consoles ever made. Back in a time when games were made for their playabilty and not for their flashy graphics.

These consoles sold roughly the same amount and are both excellnt so which one are you going to choose?

I was into Megadrive myself but love a lot of SNES games too.

SNES all the way baby!

Megadrive by far!

Think of what it had, GoldenAxe, Kid Chameleon, The Ooze, Ecco, Sonic, Shinobi, Streets Of Rage, Toejam & Earl, colums... The list goes on!

I did like the Zelda game on the SNES though and Donkey Kong Country, that ruled!

SNES FTW!

Where's the option for "They both sucked donkey balls?".

PC's ftw.

megadrive no doubt

the other day i actually bought 2 games for it from ebay

fifa 95 and mega games( the one with golden axe, streets of rage 1 and shinobi)

anyone heard of the band megadriver that play metal versions of the themes to classic megadrive games?

I had that!

I got pretty damn far on Shinobi if I remember, never completed Golden Axe and clocked Streets Of Rage.

I love Megadriver. They have some awesome theme toons from games such as Golden Axe and Sonic. I wonder if all their songs are still available for download.

I never had a snes but i loved my megadrive so I think I will have to vote for that. Golden Axe 2 and Road Rash kicked major amounts of ass.

I just got Golden Axe back so I will have another go at defeating Death Adder, its just so fucking hard! Did you turn the health up?

Also I totally forgot about the best Megadrive game...

ALTERED BEAST!

"Rise from your grave"

"Welcome to your doom!"

We sampled that for a tune!

SNES all the way, no contest imo

For games, I prefer the Megadrive purely because of the ultra-cool red-sneaker-wearing hedgehog that is Sonic

I really don't get the Mario vs Sonic argument.

Cool hedgehog that destroys machines by crashing into them at speed vs a fat plumber who jumps on turtles No contest

Though having said that, I owned both consoles and there were some pretty good games on the SNES. Street Fighter II Turbo has to be my all-time favourite. Just thinking about it brings back memories of my incredibly sad (not boohoo-sad) childhood in front of a TV screen lol.

I was playing Streetfighter the other day, I can still remember a few of Ryu's moves!
