Don't forget they also started to abandoned the clamshell and added cardboard game cases :(

IMO the clamshell is the best game case past or present ever made. Definitely could have used some uniformity tho. Early black grid and the Red striped cases are timeless but they for sure clash when put side by side on a shelf.

I actually order my games in the order I got them. If you didn't know that I'm sure my collection would confuse the shit out of you. For example my N64 games go like Mario 64, Bomberman 64, Mario Kart 64, Wipeout 64, Ocarina of Time, Mystical Ninja, Super Smash Bros, F-Zero X, etc...

This was my first game console (Christmas 1997) and it was the best of its generation.

Not gonna deny that the PS1 was filled with shovelware, but that was mostly after the PS2 came out. There's very little shovelware on the system from before 1997.

The stripes thing was something Sega enforced around late '93 to color-code their games in the U.S. by platform. It was kinda retarded, since Game Gear, Sega CD and Genesis boxes/cases don't even have the same dimensions.
