Personally, id have to go with the genesis. Vectorman 1+2, Sonic 1,2,3, Sonic and Knuckles, Sonic Pinball, the Strike series, Echo the Dolphin, Lightening Force. Yeah, those were all ace games. What about you?

SNES >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Genesisi Games like: Super mario world LOZ: Temple of time Strike Gunner Battletoads Contra Star Fox completely decimated anything the Genesis could muster.

I like both consoles equally, but I bought the Genesis first, so I guess I sided with that.

I loved and had both systems but my SNES got way more use. IMO Super Nintendo had much better RPGs. To me Chrono Trigger and FFVI were better than anything on the Genesis (Phantasy Star was pretty good though). I did love Sonic and Gunstar Heroes though...

SNES. Not that I really knew the difference. I was 3 in 1993 when I got my SNES and have been gaming ever since. SUper Mario World was my first ever game. Good times.

I was a huge Sega fanboy for most of my gaming life prior to the Dreamcast's demise, so the Genesis.

I got the SNES much later after I got my Genesis.
Wasn't really siding with anything, though. It's just what I got bought for me.

Well I actually started gaming when the PS1 was released, at that time I bought Sega Mega Drive (Genesis). I was a huge Sega Fan before I became a PS fan so yeah I would choose the Genesis, although I did enjoy playing Ninty games but Mario didn't appeal to me as much as Sonic and other Sega franchises like Golden Axe and Streets Of Rage. Good times :)

I honestly got a SNES late. Never owned a Genesis. I was playing PC games as i always have in their era (started gaming in 1990 with PC games, haven't played much else since).

Based on my experience with both late (had a buddy that owned a genesis) i'd go with SNES. I really couldn't get enough of Zelda a Link to the Past and the Mario SNES titles.

Now that I thought about it, I didn't have that mentally to side with one over the other back then. You just play with which ever one you had and you just had fun playing and didn't really care with what the other system had to offer.

Mega Drive for me. Countless hours spent on The Lion King and Streets of Rage. Strangely enough, i didnt actually get my first Sonic game until pretty late, and even worse, i picked Sonic 3D:?

I had both I had a Genesis (Version 2) and a Super NES (I always called it Super NES instead of SNES; online I say SNES but in the real world I call it the Super NES.) I can't decide which I liked more I had more games for the SNES but that was because I got it after I got a Genesis.

SNES is one of my favorite consoles ever. I started playing NES and SNES first but SNES left a better impression on me. Street Fighter II, Castlevania IV, Castlevania Dracula X, Contra III, Chrono Trigger...those were the days. Genesis didn't cut it for me. I couldn't stand the controller for fighters either but I think it was a decent console.

Edit: Super Metroid, how the hell did I forget that?

I had both consoles, I got the Genesis first and then later the snes after playing ff2 (ffiv), link to the past, and mario world, at friends house. My real firs 16-bit console that I got before either of them was Turbo-graphix-16. I was the only one I knew who had it. Something about the system I really liked, the graphics were great! The colors were the best for that era, good games like bonk, bloody wolf, neatopia, dungeon explorer, rondo of blood, y's 1&2, dragon spirit, ad&d order of the griffon(great d and d exclusive made by westwood no less!), and the two greatest pinball video games ever: ALien crush and Devil's crush. Nothing to this day has beat either of the crush games for video pinball!! They were top-notch back then and still very fun and playable now!

I loved the more mature nature of both the Genesis and the TG-16, as I was a teenager when they came out, I was feeling like my mario faze was over. The look of both consoles was great too, both slick black, the first consoles that looked like high tech electronics and not a toy. So I was turned off from snes at first, but the jrpgs had me, I had to buy it too. Too bad snes was nintendo's last hardcore gamers console. N64 and up were aimed totally at kids, and didn't use cd's which is how I became a playstation/PC fan.
