Not just that console, but that gen as a whole was pretty amazing. We got 2d perfection. 3D games were in their infancy, and every month was new and exciting! This was also the time of the last great console war. I remember entire families being torn apart based on whether they owned a Genesis or an SNES (Damien, you are no cousin of mine!). The 4th gen is probably a defining time for anyone who experienced it.
Starfox, Street Fighter 2, Doom, Donkey Kong Country, Blackthorne, PilotWings, F-Zero, Sonic the Hedgehog, Mario Kart, Streets of Rage, Chrono Trigger (I could go on and on). Yes. The PS1/N64 era will come close since the strides in 3D gaming can not be denied, but the 16-Bit era.......
