Favourite Sega console

[gord352]

If I was going with my head i'd say Megadrive as it simply had the biggest and best library of any of Sega's consoles and competed well against the SNES (undeniably one of the best consoles ever!) but if I was going with my heart (which I am here) i'm picking the Master System simply because it's where it all started for me and my brother. We desperately wanted the Megadrive which was crazy popular at the time (this was back in 1993 when we lived in Scotland) but our dad bought the Master System 2 instead as it was cheaper and he couldn't tell the difference between the two lol.

Even though there was initial disappointment we gave it a go and ended of loving the games we started with: Alex Kidd (which was pre-installed on it) and the Sonic games which we didn't realise were different to the Megadrive ones. We ultimately ended up loving the console and purchased or rented all of the following games on it which in my opinion are all classics:

Alex Kidd in Miracle World & Shinobi World
Wonder boy in Monster Land & 3 Dragons Trap
Sonic 1, 2 & Chaos
Lucky Dime Caper & Deep Duck Trouble
Castle of Illusion & Land of Illusion
Asterix & Asterix and the Secret Mission (the latter being my personal fave game on it)
Master of Darkness
Ecco the Dolphin
Shinobi
Prince of Persia
Gain Ground (this was our fave multiplayer game)

I do have the Dreamcast and Saturn too and think they're both great in different ways but also quite flawed. The Saturn simply couldn't do 3D as well as the other consoles which really held it back for me even though looking back now its got some rare games that can only be experienced on it. The Dreamcast was very ambitious and way ahead of its time as everyone knows but it released with a weak controller that really should've had 2 analog sticks. Also it didn't get long enough on the market for us to see it's true potential sadly.
