Which part? SNES had many chips, SNES using all the chips was superior to the Genny, early SNES games were plagued by slowdown, slowdown in early SNES games was caused by not using all the chips (lazy programming).

I think what JeffMcC was getting at was that the SNES processor speed was about half as fast as the Genesis CPU.

Ill give you Oratorio Tangram from that list, and no more.

Honestly, how many games from that list have you actually played? How can you knock Power Stone?

You cant possibly believe that trashy port of Sega Rally 2 is still worth a damn nowadays, you just cant.

Because the frame rate's inconsistent? That doesn't invalidate the whole game.

I saw that game a few months back at EB for 1/10th of that. Unless you're talking about the Japanese version.

I'm comparing it to the Neo Geo version.

Has Mark of the Wolves already been released for the Xbox and PS2? If not, you could still claim that one.

Ive actually played all of them, including Power Stone. I didnt like the game, it is shallow as a kiddie pool and boring after about 30 minutes of 2-player. The series has tons of potential, though, shame Capcom isnt interested in reaching it.

WRT Sega Rally 2... okay for one thing I dont think Sega racers are any good, including Rally 2. But that port was just crappy. Yes, the framerate is shit and honestly a bad framerate in a racing game is just unacceptable. Especially since the rally genre has kinda exploded the past few years, lots of great games.

But honestly, it wasn't one of Sega's better racers to begin with. Then you factor in the flawed port, and all the better rally and arcade racing games that have been released since then, and it doesn't really hold up well in any sense. Everything it does has been done far better elsewhere.

What about...

-Project Justice
-Toy Commander (it's fun!)
-Samba de Amigo
-ChuChu Rocket!
-Psychic Force 2012 (fun!)
-Elemental Gimmic Gear
-Seaman
-Wacky Races
-Cool Cool Toon
-Toy Racer
-Puyo Puyo Da (yeah, the game is terrible, but it made me laugh more than any game EVAR)


And there's a bunch others that aren't very good games but are extremely fun/make me happy.

Also, Dreamcast's nes emulator for some reason is a very exciting.

I don't agree with this; it's impossibly hard, but it plays beautifully. The only rally games that have been better since it came out 6 years ago are the Rallisport & Colin McRae games, and the latter is going for a sim angle rather than arcade.

I tried to stick with games that I thought were really solid. Like I really enjoyed E.G.G., and so do alot of people, but it seems to be the type of game that's only played by fans of the genre. Never played Psychic Force, but I hope it's better than the playstation game. Chu Chu Rocket showed up on GBA; I wasn't sure if it was the same game or not. I can't believe I left off Project Justice.

Well, I think some of those games on the list are very solid. Not all, but some. Like Samba.

Chu Chu was on GBA, yeah, but I included it just because it's a different experience than playing it on a handheld. It would be like dismissing a snes game just because it got a port onto the gba.

Psychic Force is better than the playstation game, but it's not what I'd call a wonder. However, I think it's the kind of game a few friends can get together, get drunk, and play--having lots of fun in the process.

And, yes, shame for not including Project Justice. I seriously suck at the game, but it's fun as fuck.

Last year I got my friend to pick me up a import Sega Saturn and some capcom fighters...Best purchase I made for a while...and it was cheap. I thought my friend was kidding when he told me how much he paid for them...
