My first system was a Sega Genesis, and my first game was Sonic 2. The game itself didn't exactly turn me into a gamer, but that was at least the start of it. Wanting the system was just sort of a natural thing, I'm not even sure what drove me to it.

Was because Genesis does, what nintenDont!

It's funny you should say that, because one or two years later I sold my Genesis and got an SNES, haha.  (Though I obviously should have just kept the Genesis and had both!)

I had the megadrive for all of that generation right to the very end we got a loan of our cousins SNES, got my hands on a link to the past.... then Secret of Mana, Evermore, Illusions of Time. The SNES destroyed the megadrive with its library of RPGs, the music of Mana is still in my itunes most played lists.

Always hated mario tho when it was between Megadrive Sonic and SNES Mario. loved the hell outta yoshis Island but that technically wasn't a mario game >.> right? 3d sure changed those views right around lol.

Yeah, at the time they seemed pretty neck-and-neck, but the SNES really did demolish the competition in hindsight.  Sega had some fun games, but Nintendo had straight up masterpieces up the wazoo.
