Thank you @Veknoid_Outcast for your cool thread pitting the Big 3 against each other. I thought it would be cool to go back in time further and have older Nintendo platforms plus throw Atari and Sega into the mix.
I used a randomizer to get these combos.
There are only a few backwards compatibility compatible consoles here, but BC is not allowed in this situation. Same with the Super Game Boy on SNES. Add-ons are allowed, so keep that in mind for Mega Drive/Genesis and Atari Jaguar in particular.
In order to get 4 platforms from each of these Classic 3 competitors, I needed to have a sloppier generational divide than Veknoid's thread. Virtual Boy is a tabletop platform, but it made more sense to include than Color TV-Game or using GameCube in this thread. Dreamcast is also included in this thread, despite being a 6th Generation console. The short-lived SG-1000 (Sega's first console) didn't make sense to include when we already have 4 Sega consoles.
What combo are you going to pick while the other three are sacrificed?
Option #1
Atari 5200
NES/Famicom
Dreamcast
Option #2
Atari 2600
Virtual Boy
Saturn
Option #3
Atari 7800
Nintendo 64
Mega Drive/Genesis
Option #4
Atari Jaguar
SNES/Super Famicom
Master System
