Genesis pack-in = Altered Beast
TG-16 pack-in =Keith Courage in Alpha Zones
That right there was a big reason for me to bypass the Turbo when it was released, although I still did hold out hope that I would be able to afford both systems, but that never came true for me until I was a working automaton.
Not to mention that the total lack of quality in the 'TV Sports' lineup did alot to disuade customers, when the Genesis without doubt dominated, not only in the first generation of sports games, but dominated throughout the entire Genesis lifecycle. That doesn't make the TG-16 bad, but you have to appeal to the mass audience to succeed, especially in the time period before Playstation when video games were for nerds...ahh the good ole days.
I lost total interest in the Turbo when they released the CD add-on that was like $400 or something, and also the Turbo Express was $250...it was just too much money for a high school kid. I prefered to spend my money on games, not hardware. In retrospect I made the right moves by going Genesis because I have a TG-16 today and I hardly play it. For the price this system was, it didn't deliver the quality that the Genesis did for less dollars.
