That doesn't mean anything, though. The Genesis vs. SNES rivalry was part of the advertising, for God's sake. Sega does what Nintendon't!?

Sega does

What Nintendon't.

Lol golden, that was more company vs company than fanbase vs fanbase though...

It translated, though. I mean, I know you weren't old enough at the time, but we fought baout this shit on the playground. Fists would fly! There was butting of heads, and gnashing of teeth

And deep, nested jealousy about the fact that the best game I owned was The Adventure of Sonic the Hedgehog 2, while my friends were playing Super Mario World

Got some black of white pictures of those events? Suppose you're right, what other people thought of gaming didn't really interest me until later in the N64 gen.

(Super Mario World -> Sonic) *runs*

I've never recovered from that bullshit

I was on the wrong side the entire time

I could have played LInk to the Past when it came out. Okay? I played it ten years later.

Stupid Genesis. Stupid, stupid me.

To put it blatantly, that just sucks. :( Not exactly a huge Nintendo fan, but if a new Zelda comes out, I'm all over that shit.

I was too young to remember Sega vs. Nintendo in the early 90's. I remember the kerfuffle when the PS1 launched vs. the N64 (and I remember that Crash Bandicoot mascot incident as well, lol) but I wouldn't say it was so much a rivalry as Sony trying to ruffle some feathers.

SNES vs Genesis. If you were around during those days, it's not even a debate.

I would like to point out that Intellivision vs Atari didn't happen since Intellivision was in competiton with the Colecovision and Atari was a few years earlier against the Magnavox Odyssey 2.


Grampa lied!?

Also:

Sega was an asshole company back then.  They ALWAYS talked shit about Nintendo. 

Sega CD:  "What are you waiting for?  Nintendo to make one!"

Sonic the Hedgehog:  *kid in the store trying to decide on Snes or Genesis*  "I'll take Sonic....and Sega!"

Joe Montana, Michael Jackson, and others:  "Genesis does!  You can't do this on Nintendo!  Genesis does what Nintendo don't!"

It would piss me off so much because there it was, right there on TV but from reading mags and playing games, I KNEW Nintendo was better!!  I was powerless.  Those Genesis loving kids thinking their console was so awesome.  Walking around so smug.  They deserved to die. And that's why I killed them.  To this day, I have flashbacks.

well wouldn't you walk around that smug if your Mortal Kombat version had the legendary ABACABB code?

Mortal Kombat was the highlight of that war.. a fitting game for that brutal competition..
