2600problems Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 (if you're going to complain, i will have to close the thread). this is always something that has fascinated me. nintendo's juggernaut of the 80's vs atari's entry. i would like a comparison of: sound: POKEY chip vs the NES sound chip Lockout: does it affect games or the system (includes modified systems) graphics: did the 7800 have any visual tricks that gave it the upper hand commercials/marketing: how well was it marketed, were the commercials well done, corny or just plain bad and finally: ports. how well did the system handle arcade ports (in house development doesn't count third parties only) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 (edited) (if you're going to complain, i will have to close the thread). You can't close a thread. Also, this topic has been previously discussed to death. You are either trolling or have a serious false sense of importance.

Trebor Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 You are either trolling or have a serious false sense of importance. Now that may be a topic worth discussing; Trolling vs Serious False Sense of Importance. Tough call to make...Especially in light of an original SNES vs Genesis thread from Mr. Problems, 10 hours earlier to starting this topic. When that went over wonderfully, Mr. Problems decided to try and steer it into a SMS vs 7800 thread about 6 hours prior to the OP. That too went over just as splendidly. So evidently, Mr. Problems decided to dump into the 7800 forum for a trifecta of versus topics. These "versus" topics do always go over so well, as clearly demonstrated if one was to actually perform a search on the forums, or if notes were made on the recent last two attempts by Mr. Problems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DracIsBack Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Geez - you show up here and start bitching from the get go and now you're whining about the site?Social skills are not your strength, are they? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osgeld Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 clearly i've wasted my time on this site clearly, this site has been around since the late 90's, surely you are the only one to ever come up with a clickbait idea like ATARI VS NINTENDO, so there would never be a reason for you to look for it right?

RevEng Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 The irony is that he seems to think it was only his time that was wasted with this thread. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
