>The playstation got only popular, because you could pirate games so easily.

The Playstation got popular because it was piss easy to program for and ZOMG 3D.

The Saturn was a pain in the ass because it was build from the ground up for 2D and got a 3D co processor tacked on at the last minute. Not to mention sales were slow due to the lost consumer trust from the MegaCD and the 32x fiasco.
They get all my respect if they actually made a Megadrive-tan with 2 huge tumors in the game...

And while the n64 did not bomb completely the insanely expensive cartridges and the retarded controller held it back.
Over here a n64 game costed ƒ180~200 bucks compared to the ƒ100~120 for a PSX/Saturn game.
(The euro did not exist back then. im feel old... ;_;)


The 80 is a strange choice though. The 90 were a bit more vibrant IMO with the mario vs sonic war in full swing.
I hope the character designs from the scans are not final. They look way too modern. IIRC 80 were all about "futuristic" geometric designs like the huge Master System. Oh and lots of wood grain of course...
