Question of the Day, January 24, 2011



This week at The Escapist, we're all about all things Sega. While the Sonic the Hedgehog studio might no longer be a hardware company, let's look back at the days in which it was: Which Sega-made console was your favorite?

Genesis, too many good memory's of hacking it up with Mortal Kombat. I had a hard time getting past the controllers for the Dreamcast.

What happened to the "I don't care/Never owned a Sega/Sega's never my favorite" options? The last 15 years of Slashdot polls hasn't taught y'all that you always put a Cowboy Neal up there?

Genesis was the only one I owned.

So it by default.

I like a couple of DC games that wer eported to other systems, but never played the console itself.

Definitely Dreamcast.

Having said that, it was the only Sega console I ever owned.

But I still think it is one of the Greatest Consoles of All Time (second only to SNES.)

The Master System, Mega Drive and Dreamcast all make me feel nostalgic (I never owned a Saturn). The Mega Drive just edges them out for me.

The Sega Game Gear was the only one I ever owned, so I would go with that if it was a poll option.

I suppose the closest one to that on the poll is the Master System, as the Game Gear was like a portable Master System and you could get the Master Gear Converter which allowed you to Master System cartridges on the Game Gear.

However the reverse wasn't possible because the Game Gear had a larger colour palette and it's games couldn't be played on the Master System or Genesis, so as my favourite Game Gear games were only on the Game Gear, I can't vote for the Master System, not even as a distant second.

I owned a gamegear, genesis and a saturn the latter 2 I still own. You guys should be ashamed because thanks to you sega thinks there was nearly no good saturn games worth remaking or porting, which couldn't be further from the truth >.>

Genesis all the way. While a SNES guy myself, I loved playing the Sonic 1,2, and 3. Plus, the NHL series, and the Mortal Kombat games seemed better on the Genesis than on the SNES.

Mega Drive + Mortal Kombat + Sonic + Aladdin = Astronomical win. I played it regularly up until I got a PS2 in 2001.

I was a poor child, but I had taste ;)

Genesis, the only one of those I actually played. Though I heard good things about the Dreamcast...
