buzz on th sega hedgehog

Yes I am a Snes fanboy and a sega hater and I'm proud . The Amiga had great games, it cost around 299£ for A600 and 399£ for A1200 at the time, at least I read that in a CVG issue of 1993/4.

And with that statement all the credibility you had was shot, crashed, burned, ashes swept into a river by the wind and traveled down to the ocean where the fish eat them and a shark eats the fish.

youd think he learned to stop posting on this article with that link that was sent for him

 

bus seriously, hes right... the word hate throws all credibility out the window, sorry. You could say you dont like it as much for a number of reasons, or say you disliked it.. but by just saying "i hate sega"... you come off sounding ... well... uneducated.

And btw, another reason why it took me so long to ge a genesis is becuase i grew up with people having the first generation genesis, and i thought it always look so cluttered and ugly compaired to the cleaner looking snes.

*chuckles*

 

I always thought the SNES was ugly hardware. Genny1's not winning any beatuy contests eitehr, but it doesn't have giant purple sliders on it.

 

I thought about a genesis 2 (never a 3),

You're a good man.

 

but right before i did, the opportunity for a cdx came in view, and i fell in love with it the moment i saw it, its truley every sega 32 bit fan's dream in my mind.

32-bit?

The US SNES was a real ugly piece of hardware. The Japanese/Euro model was really nice.

Indeed. The Snes is the most aesthetic console I own.

Thats not to say I don't want a US Snes. But thats more a curiosity than anything else.

(And purple... WTF? )

 

What I really whant to know is WHY everyone feels the need to change everything

(seldomly for the better) for the U.S market. Just seems like a waste to me ......

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

oh and BTW I used to hate sega. You where either a Nintendo or a Sega fan, and I made

my choice. Nowdays I own more sega games than Nintendo .....

Official story is Nintendo America got sick of fielding calls from poeple that left their drinks on the NES, so they ensured the SNES case design didn't ahve any good places to set a glass.

 

I know they wanted a diffrent shape on the cart slot as part of the regional lockout.

 

 

As for redesigns... NES is beter than FamiCom from an aesthetics and controller standpoint(hardwired controls = evil). Pity about that ZIF cart slot with no audio input.

well, the region lockouts for the snes can be easily taken care of...you can take a pair of pliers inside where the cartridge goes ..you will see 2 prongs just clip them out and you can play super famicon games on your ntsc snes...though im sure most know about this

Even better... the first run of SNESes, someone forgot to put the tabs in the mold, so they ran japanese carts out of the box.

 

 

But it still deterred US carts being imported to Japan, since it required a cosmetically visible mod to the unit to allow US carts. Which I'm sure SOMEONE cared about.

And the tabs deterred SOME people. Though I'm sure most people brave enough to play foreign language games were brave enough to look in the cart slot and knock out those plastic tabs.
