You and I would have been enemies in the 16-bit era, but I adore the Sega Genesis. (However, I'm also a sleepy bisexual, so I'm gonna say we're probably nowhere close to enemies.)
It was an arcade monster and got a ton of amazing games from the arcades and purpose-built for the machine — many the SNES also got, but some exclusives that really took advantage of what the Genesis could do well. I'd argue that the gritty FM sound chip was better for certain types of game music as well, though that's not to say that the SNES wasn't largely superior on that front.
At the end of the day… yeah 16 bit stuff looks amazing
I should get into the genesis, any recommendations?
I have no idea if they hold up today, but I really enjoyed Zombies ate my neighbors, Mickey Mania, World of Illusion (another mickey mouse game), and Taz Mania.
