Terrible gameplay with graphics and sound that merely served to paper over the cracks ruled the 16 bit era. There were of course the odd shining gems but the 16 bit era is best seen as a transition phase rather than any hue of precious metal. |
16bit was the high point before everyone moved away from sprites to polygons. That era had the NeoGeo as a high water mark in that technology. Yes, the NeoGeo was 24bit in how it was set up, but 16bit in its game play. Post 16bit was the polygon era. The SNES and Genesis provided a number of really good games.
