2600problems Posted June 24, 2017 Author Share Posted June 24, 2017 okay, how about this: the Master system vs the Atari 7800 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbd30 Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 okay, how about this: the Master system vs the Atari 7800 Master System wins when it comes to games specifically made for the system. The best thing about the 7800 is that it can also play Atari 2600 games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What fun! How long do you need to do the test port? A day? A week? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dj_convoy Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 okay, how about this: the Master system vs the Atari 7800 Play Double Dragon for both. Next question. Are we still at a point where we have to compare the SNES to the Genesis? In the hands of talented programmers, both could do great things. Genesis hardware is better at some stuff, SNES hardware is better at some stuff. The games are what's important. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriel Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 I have to say that what gets me about this is using Comix Zone as the benchmark, and not even the game itself, but the amount of time to load a stage. How random. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osgeld Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 well decompression is a good benchmark, not that one has to port a complete game to do such a thing and comparing a wdc vs a 68k could be done with a mac and a IIGs in a few moments it doesnt show much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keepdreamin Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 how about a good thread vs a 2600problems' thread? That would be an interesting comparison. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
