I always wanted a genesis as a kid but my moms already copped me a turbo grafix 16 and I had nes so no genesis for me. I was aware of the console war but it seemed like it was more of recess jokes until the commercials started to drop :snoop:

Lol I remember when the Genesis dropped, that third button and the "ergonomics" was mind blowing :whew:


When the SNES controller dropped I was like I don't have enough fingers for this :damn:
I know what the six button layout meant for fighting games since I was an arcade kid but man the sega controller was so comfortable.

That is true. But my classmate who had one felt left out because there wasn't really anyone else to trade games with...


Now the NEO GEO....

I only heard rumors of people who had that 🤣

My older brother had a Turbo Grafix and on the low that was one of my favorite consoles.

I been meaning to cop the Alex the Kidd remake on PC. That was one of my favorite games growing up.

Yeah man it really was ahead of its time but once Super Mario Bros dropped I abandoned it. Also it stopped reading games and i didn't feel like fixing it.

Yeah the one I knew was a b!tch and never invited me to his house,just my other friend.He’d come back to school bragging about how he was playing Neo Geo at his house.When someone says they’ve been playing Neo Geo on you all weekend back then not a lot you can say to that.He was supposed to be some rich kid but his feet always stank up everything when he’d take his shoes off.He got that Neo Geo though god damnit.
