People forget pretty quick what it was like back in the SNES/Genesis generation... the N64/PS1 generation...

There was a lot of hostility out there. It may be because you were too young to remember the fierce rivalries that were out there. One of the biggest arguing points was the difference between the SNES and Genesis Mortal Kombat (kudos to those who remember). It wasn't just between fans either. There was plenty of malice on the part of the console manufacturers as well.

This generation is no more hostile than any other ones; it's just that some people are now old enough to see it and the internet allows information to be exchanged much quicker.

I still don't understand how SEGA screwed that all up.. they had better titles on the Genesis then the SNES had... much better....

Really? Because when I think of the best games of that generation--say a top 10--I don't think I can think of more than one Genesis game that would be on that list. Maybe you'd say MK, but I was always with Rocket Pig that the extra lvel and much better looking graphics more than made up for the blood (didn't Genesis have only like 12 colors?). I know I'm in the minority there, but hey, I'd probably say MK diesn't deserve a top 10 slot anyway. Off the top of my head, and in no particular order:

1. Chrono Trigger
2. Final Fantasy IV
3. Secret of Mana
4. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
5. Super Mario World
6. Super Metroid
7. Donkey Kong Country
8. Super Mario Kart
9. Sim City
10. Sonic the Hedgehog 2

I'm willing to admit if I'm wrong--maybe I'm completely misremembering, so let me know what games you're talking about. I just don't, and have never, seen it.
