I own both Sega Geneis and Super Nintendo, and Genesis woops SNES! Graphically, they are about equal. Vectorman for Genesis and Donkey Kong for Super Nintendo can testify to that. But when it comes to games, its close, but Geneis reigns supreme. Yes, Super Nintendo (or the SNES) has Chrono Trigger but that can't compete with Shining Force, the best 16 bit game ever made. Vectorman woops Super Metroid as the best 2-d shooter ever made, wit intense fire fights and airial attacks from flying 'bots, Vectorman was one of Sega's jewels. Sonic and Mario are about equal, but Sonic woops Mario when it comes to action and fun. Both systems are good, but if your looking for te best of the best, Genises has them.
