Genesis. Although I never owned it.
N64 considering it came out the generation after Genesis. Not really a fair comparison. A good question would be SNES or Genesis

You mean, it lacked just about everything I like?
N64 for me, my third favourite console of all time with the second best gamepad ever created (imo)!

I wouldn't expect any less from someone called "nintendo_fanboy" :)
BTW I played lots of Snes as a kid and I know the Zelda is briliant and Super Metroid is awesome... However, there are genesis games that didn't get as much reckognition that definetly are as good as those games.
Landstalker for example gives Zelda:Link to Past a very good run for its money, yet you've prolly never heard of it.

It probably does if you've got the patience for isometric platforming but its story probably isn't as epic. Also, Crusader of Centy it's just not Zelda, and Beyond Oasis (Story of Thor, but it suffers from the opposite problem of Landstalker...if you know about that one dungeon you can fall into 100 times and get the super sword the game will loose all sense of challenge. It is still a nice looking game though and especially for the era when it was made).
Heavens to Murgatoids.

Hehe...someone that knows his stuff.
Beyond Oasis was cool but definetly not Zelda material. Great combat and visuals tho...
Landstalker however was brilliant I thought...some of those puzzles like the jail cells in that town totally blew my mind back in the day. I didn't mind the isometric view but it was a pain for jumping thats for sure...

You are right, I never heard about that game. My most favourite games on the SNES were platformers though, so I guess our gaming tastes are just too far away from each other. Also, I always thought that Nintendo games and some others from japanese devs that were big back in the SNES days just have a different feeling than games from other developers, especially Sega's games usually feel more "arcade" than Nintendo's.
Go and try to play some old stuff on the genesis. Beside the sonic series, there is no game that we can still play today. On the other side, tink about the 2 zelda game, the wrestling games, goldeneyes and perfect dark, mario kart 64, Mario tennis, Mario 64... I mean, there a huge difference between the librairy. Genesis don't stand the comparaison. The Snes was way better and even the nes was a better system period...
No doubt : N64 all the way

LIES!!! There are loads of SHMUPs, fighters, RPGs and platformers that still rock on the genny. I have psp games collecting dust as I replay MUSHA and Streets of rage 3 on my psp every week
