It was a good war. A just war. It was, maybe, the last great war.
I’m not talking about World War II. I’m talking about the great console war of the 1990s.
I had a great time goading Lisa Foiles into reviving the 90’s console wars with me a few weeks back — despite the best efforts of the SNES faithful, the Genesis version of Aladdin pulled out a decisive victory.
But hey, that’s small-fry. That’s one game. Let’s do this thing for the whole enchilada — let’s do this console war good and proper. Which console was better? The Sega Genesis or the Super Nintendo?
Bloody Mortal Kombat, or Super Mario Land? Sonic, or Mario?
I had neither of these consoles growing up, and played both equally. I honestly can’t say which one I’ll vote for — I’ll just let my instincts guide me. I can’t wait to see how this turns out.
