 TA> EVERY ONE remembers the Master System..  I had the 
 TA> original, with the built in slug/maze game..  Game 
 TA> Gear's were crap tho'..  The Game Boy easily superceded
 TA> the GG..!
 JF> Hey, the Game Gear had some good games - the problem was that there
 JF> weren't ENOUGH good games. 
But the screen drained the battery's, not many good games & too bulky, all 
mad sure that more people bought the game gear..  The GG was ideal if you 
wanted to sit in the house/school/college/work with it plugged into the mains 
playing games, but that ruined the portability aspect..
 TA> I'd say it was a combination of both..  The SNES was
 TA> only released 2 years after the Genesis, so Sega had a 
 TA> good lead (Just like the PS now)..  But it was weaker 
 TA> in every "department" than the Snes, xcept the 
 TA> Processor.. the Genesis' Processor was a lot faster 
 TA> then The SNES, but was let dow by everything else, 
 TA> especially the sound..!  The Genesis had the Tinniest 
 TA> sound EVER..
 JF> What about its games?  The Genesis had a few classics, and they
 JF> managed to squeeze some interesting performance out of it in its later
 JF> years.  Remember Vectorman? 
Yeah the genesis had a few classics, but it's like the PS situation now..  A 
rare diamond Sparkling among the coal..!
