Honestly, I didn't even know we were 'rich' until /vr/ started. I thought it was normal to have multiple consoles. Most of my friends had multiples, too.

falseflag thread?
anyway, nothing wrong with virgin's game, it's still a visual spectacle with good music and presentation, gameplay itself is alright, not as good as Capcom's game, but still not horrible. And it's not a "inferior version" because both are entirely different games. Capcom one is better, but that doesn't make the Virgin one bad. In people's collective memories, it's the actual most popular one, helped by the amazing hand-drawn digital animation of the sprites, and the fact Sega pushed it hard, game's marketing was handled by SoA iirc, I could be wrong, but either way it had more marketing than Capcom's.
The actual inferior version of the Virgin game is the DOS, with a cropped screen and missing levels.
Or if you really want to go to the shitter, the port Virgin shat out for the NES, which is worse than the Game Boy port, and also worse than the Aladdin bootlegs on NES made by chinese hackers. Virgin's NES port was only released in PAL regions though. I pity kids who got that game for christmas or their birthday.

It was definitely not the norm but also not something rich kids had either.
I was blessed with great relatives who would gift me consoles and games on my birthdays and other holidays, and I was spoiled by my aunt who would also randomly buy me a console I wanted just because she could and didn't have kids of her own. I knew kids with much richer parents who were only limited to 1 system because their parents didn't want to spoil them or maybe just because they were greedy. My parents were against me getting so many consoles and games, though. I still have most of it today and I'm glad I do.
Genesis+SNES combo was literally the best era of video games, if you had these 2, you were absolutely in heaven.

the snes game has barebones level design: basically running a straight line with copy pasted enemies. For that, it's better to stick with the 8bit ones, since they had some challenge to cover.

Nintendo fans seem to desperately want to win console wars over who got the superior version of legitimately mediocre or shit games. Rayman 2, Aladdin, Army Men.

Genuine question, who the fuck cares? Why are Nintendo fans so pathetic?

You're acting as if sega or sony fans weren't like this, not to mention the whole spectrum of PC autists (C64, amiga, spectrum).
In the case of Aladdin, it's not even the same game. Entirely different developers.

I had a much more expensive 386 with a Sound Blaster

The keyboard that came with it still works.

Not saying that there can't be Nintendo fanboys who attack everyone else, but that's mostly a Sony fanboy treat. I'm not defending Nintendo fanboys btw, they just have a different modus operandi, same as Sega fans or PC fans. They're all bad in their own ways, I just think Sony fanboys are the most annoying of the bunch.

I also had a 386. As well as six home consoles (three if you don't count handhelds as 'consoles' even though one was the handheld version of a console). Anyway, having a 386 in early 199x, even with home video game consoles, is not at all uncommon.

Not Super Tetris. And there were a lot of Big Blue Disk games that I really liked, too, like Twilight Treasures (89) and Pyramids of Egypt (86, I think?). And lets not forget Prince of fucking Persia. Or Chuck Yaeger Air Combat. And Day of the Tentacle. Also, that multiplayer game where you and friends are a buncha cute, fuzzy rabbits who make each other 'splode.

>> No.6513370

I like the game a bit, but it's got clear flaws in things like feedback on sword hits (not to mention the sword hitbox) and plenty of less-than-helpful camera work. Often the camera will put Aladdin near the edge of the screen, making it hard to react to what's coming. You can reset it by turning around, but damn. They were more focused on the presentation than the actual game.

The most spoiled, bratty motherfuckers I know, and I mean 'spoiled' as in they have full-on temper tantrums /to this day, in adulthood/ when they don't get their way or someone disagrees with them, had one console or none at all because they were poor. The one thing they all have in common is an overly coddling mother. It's almost as though giving your kid things isn't what spoils them but raising them as though they shit diamonds and could do no wrong does.
