Very interesting read. I loved the Genesis DOES commercial!!! Those were the good old days. (Even though I had no part of that generation "SNES/Genesis era".)

As terrible as Sony's PR problems have been, at least they're not making claims as absurd as "Blast Processing" and slinging mud left and right the way Sega did in that era.

Nintendo didn't mudsling at all. Which is why they tried to crucify Sega in front of Congress, of all places.

:rolls eyes:

Thank you Mortal Kombat!

 

Remember when the Sega rep pulled out the Super Scope in front of Congress and claimed Nintendo was turning children into mindless gunmen?

 

Ah, good times.

 I'm seriously waiting for either a documentary or a reenactment of all this.  It could start with the 8-bit battles and follow all the madness with mudslinging and Congress and then the movie ends with Smash Bros. Brawl comes out.  There shall be no more console wars after that.  So it is written.
