100 Sega Genesis / Super Nes Games (Music Version)
24This is the version of the vid that I was a little weary about uploading. I'm still not convinced that I chose the right songs for the footage, but I decided to upload it anyways to get your guy's take on it.
What songs would you have chosen, because there is just so much great 16-bit music out there that it's extremely hard to narrow down.
I ended up using five two-minute clips from various games
Song number 1 is from Comix Zone
Song number 2 is the boss battle theme from Final Fantasy Mystic Quest
Song Number 3 is the boss battle theme from TMNT Hyperstone Heist (I prefer it personally to the same Snes theme from TMNT IV)
Song number 4 is the final boss theme from Donkey Kong Country
Song number 5 is the ending theme to Streets of Rage 2.
Anyways, tell me what you guys think.
===========================
This is a vid of 50 Sega Genesis, and 50 Snes games as played on their original consoles, and taken footage of via a video capture card.
I've been neglecting my retro systems lately, so some of the games on here aren't that great (I don't have another Snes game to switch off with The Flintstones which was a game I got for free otherwise believe me, I would), but I only have 50 games for the Snes, and 60+ for the Genesis (not including the Sega Genesis Collection on the PS2, and Sonic's Ultimate Sega Genesis Collection on the PS3 which I own both of).
I've been neglecting them, because it's a lot easier an more convenient to focus more on my newer systems who still have games in the stores, but seeing as I've hit around 260 PS2 games, I think it's time to finally focus on collecting for my retro systems who's collections are lacking. I missed out on a lot of games back in the day, because I was relatively poor, and could only afford so much, and by the time I was old enough to start buying my own games, most 8-bit, and 16-bit games had already disappeared from the store shelves.
However, I'm now going to try and fix this as much as possible, and I'm not going to buy any new games for a long time.
Instead of the usual "Where's this game or that game?" and "Your collection sucks" comments, I'd appreciate it more if you guys would instead give me some suggestions for my collections for both systems.
I know a lot of the obvious ones that I missed, and need to get (Like Contra 3, and Road Rash 3), but I'm also interested in seeing suggestions for games that don't get a lot of attention that I may have overlooked from that era of gaming.

Anyways, on to the text, I honestly don't have a favorite of these two systems. I love both the Genesis and Snes equally. I know that countless top 10 console lists by the mainstream gaming media will always put the Snes on top (The Genesis was always treated like the red headed step child of the two, but the Turbografx 16 was treated like the red headed step child's red headed step child), but I honestly can't say that one clearly beats the other in my mind. Maybe in some areas, like Snes wins in RPGs, but Genesis wins in beat 'em ups (Streets of Rage beats all others), but overall, both systems are equally great IMO.
I'm sure you guys can choose a favorite, but I can't. Both had such a huge impact on my childhood, due to me owning both (got the Genesis for Xmas '93, and later had to buy the Snes with my bro by saving up chore, and birthday money collectively) at the time. They're both equally awesome systems.
