I must apologise though as I just looked up the Genesis palette, and it's actually 512 colours. Which is only 32,256 short of the SNES.

......AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

tiesto · « **Reply #7 on:** October 04, 2011, 08:30:45 AM »

Yeah, it was such a disappointment how bad the N64's sound chip was compared to the PS1, Saturn (which had a fantastic sound chip), and even the SNES.

Genesis chip was great for metal, industrial and EDM though. The sound effects were pretty awful, sounded like robots farting.

Then you're being a dumbass. The Genesis and the SNES were so neck and neck that preferring one of them usually was due to bias(Nintendo mostly), they are the 2 greatest 2D systems ever.

Genesis, SNES, Neo-Geo, and the PCE all had their good points.

I had the SNES back then, but ended up preferring the Genesis in the end. Had both the Neo and the Turbo Duo later on.

UN Squadron is pretty rad. It was a game I rented enough times that I could have bought the game, and then I did buy the game. And then a month ago when I bought a Super Fami, I bought it again. My only real knock on it is that it's a touch on the easy side.

Thunderforce is still better, though. It's not UN Squadron's fault, Thunderforce had more installments to refine things, but it is the better shooter.

Did you play UN Squadron on "gamer" mode where you hold L+R and push right a few times? It definitely wasnt easy.

Damian79 · « **Reply #41 on:** October 05, 2011, 12:30:56 AM »

Yes, it's the only way I've played UN Squadron for ages now. The only thing crazy about it is the speed of the bullets. On the other hand, you still have a life bar, you still benefit from the SNES slowdown feature, and you can still "level up" the more you play. In UN Squadron, when you die, you get to come back in a better position than you were in before, unless you blew a lot of cash on weapons. In, say, Gradius, when you die, you hit the fucking reset button.

But it is much easier to get hit in UN squadron than in Gradius. I beat "life force" (gradius 2) rather easily.

As for having to reset when you die, that is just bad game design.

The rest I'll give you but Bonanza Bros as among the best games ever on the Genesis? I mean, I guess it was a faithful conversion, but it was a bit too easy for a home console game.

Another arcade game that wasn't as awesome on consoles:

Street Fighter II Special Championship Edition (lol name) felt closer, overall, to the CPS1 version. It also had the few missing things the SNES version lacked, like the arcade intro and all of the voice/sounds. Ditto for Super.

Nowadays though, who fucking cares? All those old ports suck when you can play the arcade versions, either in compilations or emulated.
