Compare specs, graphics, post pics, etc. Which was more capable? Which had the best games?

>> No.3184883

Visual capability:
SNES > SMD > PCE

Performance:

Sound:
SMD > PCE > SNES (lol, 64k sram)

Controller:

Overall winner: Sega Mega Drive

This is kinda debatable, sure the PCE doesn't have many slowdowns, but that's mainly because all the games have shittons of flickering.

SNES had some cute graphics but was complete garbage in terms of games that were actually fun. Streets Of Rage series, Gunstar Heroes, Alien Soldier, Thunder Force IV, etc. None of these were possible on the SNES.

They're good at different things.

Genesis will lose on colors to SNES, but will win on speed (throwing sprites around quickly with less slowdown).

Genesis can do matrices on sprites better while SNES can do matrices on backgrounds better.

Sound's a completely different kettle of fish. Genesis will win on the techno beats while SNES will win on the pseudo-orchestra.

Scaling and rotation.

Mega Drive could do sprite scaling on the horizontal axis, SNES could do none. However, it had a far more powerful background tilemap.

Only in terms of colour count, and the mode 7 rotation. Genesis wins in everything else (more planes, more windows, larger resolution).

SNES only had better sound on paper. In practice, it all sounds like muffled compressed shit with bad instrument samples. Neither has the clarity of chiptunes nor the quality of CD.

>> No.3186534

I'm not trying to start shit here, but what were the standout titles on Turbographx? I know SNES was known for its Mario games, platformers and RPGs. Genesis was mostly about Sonic, shmups, and other fast action titles.

Where did the Turbographx sit compared to those two? I only grew up around Nintendo/Sega so I never got exposure to TG16/CD until much later in life. Now I hear so many people calling it their favorite system of all time, so I have to wonder what it brought to the table that was so compelling. Of course, most of them are probably just hipsters, but it definitely has its following. I'm legitimately curious.

Turbografx had a tiny library with only a few gems. It's rising sun counterpart, the PC Engine, had a nice fat library full of great shmups, puzzlers, Bomberman, Bomberman, Bomberman.
