    :D ;)

    So, console talk. The Sega Mage Drive (also known to some as the *Genesis*) was possibly the greatest thing ever... with the NES and SNES close behind. Nothing will ever beat the Retro consoles.

    Best... era... eveeeeer :D

    Rubbish. SNES wiped the floor with the 'Mega Drive' :p

    Good era, but not when the cartridges were astronomically priced. 65 quid for Streetfighter 2 on Snes remember? |

    Really? I wouldn't know the details of a mediocre console [face_plain]

    [face_laugh] Yeah, but they heralded the coming of some of the best games ever which were mounted on cartridges ie. GoldenEye and MarioKart.

    I remember when the MD came out with 'Altered Beast' and it was the 'best thing ever'. LMAO. It was lame. Everything Nintendo done was better than Sega. Both in gameplay, technical, and graphical.

    Well Lylat Wars for the N64 is beautiful, so it's predecessor must have been something special.

    Not really. Although, on a 16bit console in 1993 it was ok. A 486 pc could have done it I suppose.

    //remembers getting Starfox on US import...

    "Rubbish. SNES wiped the floor with the 'Mega Drive'"

    I personaly think that the Mega Drive was better than the snes.

    Btw good news on behalf of Gamecube owners .

    Nintendo triumph at new award event

    Exclusive Nintendo Titles came up trumps at the recent Game Stars awards ceremony scooping three trophies. " Metroid Prime" won 'Best Adventure game'
    "sUper monkey ball 2" won 'best arcade game'
    and
    " The wind walker" was crowned Game retail's 'most wanted title"


    That'll please " multiple 'ZELDA' completé" AZ-azzameen! 8-}

    yep snes is the best, the only reason to have a MD was for Sonic, Street fighter, Mortal kombat mario, Donkey kong etc etc, all great games.

    But cart price was so bad, i remember paying £75 for Mortal Kombat 3 on the friday before it was released, i would never never ever pay that much for a game now.

    I remember my first computer. Good ol' Amstrad, cassette loading, 20 minutes of screeching black and green screened games like sabatour. :D

    Or my first PSX game, at my mates house, watching the opening video to Resident Evil 1 and thinking, that SNES has to go...

    Ahh, the memories.

    The memories...

    I remember switching from the Acorn Electron to the first NES and being pleasantly surprised that games loaded up in a few seconds as opposed to half an hour (Football Manager 1 anyway).

    Played iSS3 at a mates last night - was ok, not much of a step up from 2; but ISS Pro EVo 3 comes out on Cube in about3-4 months so I'll probably wait for that. Less arcadey more sim.
