Next-gen console war: The verdict by mcvuk.com

The x68000 is a computer, and its more powerful than the Amiga. What you said doesn't make any sense when you take those two thing into account.

The X68000 was technically more powerful than the Snes and an unexpanded Amiga 500 with regard to gaming in general. Tough the system only was released in Japan and was more similar to Japanese arcade hardware than either Snes or Amiga 500, thus arcade games were often nearly identical.

I don't understand what that has to do with anything being discussed.

No, its mostly speech. Monkey Island was originally released on floppy, which has less space than the bigger carts for the SNES and MD. Later, a much improved version that had recorded voices and MIDI music was released.

MIDI music takes up little space on the disc, the Amiga 500 disc based version of Monkey Island 2 was about 10 MBs of data which exlcuded speech. That's much larger than the largest Snes game ever released. Most Snes and MegaDrive games were only about 1 MB as cartidges were expensive.

In that case, the original Gameboy is "stronger" than the PSX and equal to the PS2.

And that means the SNES is "stronger" than the Amiga. Oh Shit....

Did you read what I was responding to?

I can understand the argument you post here, but you always focus on the similarities between the hardware.

Taking workload off the CPU (similar to taking workload off the PPE) and learning curve for developers. I still stand by my perspectives.

And this makes your original statement correct how?

Because the statement was correct, there is a lack of mouse and keyboard support in Snes games compared to Amiga 500 games.

Really, how can you ignore some of the best RPGs ever made, whcih were exclusive to the SNES.

I never did that, I said I bought only the Nintendo exclusives.
