| RolStoppable said: Mario, of course. Sega didn't have many great exclusives to speak of, but the coolness factor made many games better than they actually were. The coolness is gone and nowadays the Mega Drive/Genesis games are looked at as what they actually are. As a result, today the discrepancy between sales of SNES and MD/G games is far greater than back in the day. Some games like the Sonic series aged well, but most of the rest can only sell if they are tossed into compilations. |
I see what you mean.
It seemed that the Sega Genesis and Sonic were the new "Cool thing" for gamers when it came out. Now days most people only remember Sonic from the console. It's interesting to look back at some of the old ads and the war that was sparked over those two main characters.
