LOL @ awack's response!

Yeah, since he mentioned the Genesis sports games in here, I'll chime in and say this is why I love the Turbo in the first place despite the Genesis' technical superiority.  Back in the day, the Turbografx was well-represented in the game genres that I particularly loved: platformers, action games, shooters, arcade conversions.  It was also very Japanese and that quality shone through.

The Genesis, on the other hand, was laden with 2 things I loathed back in the day: horrible US-developed games with drab graphics and croaky sound, and sports games.  Sometimes both in the same title.

I'd take my bright, cute graphically-enhanced versions of my NES favourites any day.

I got into the TurboGrafx-16 for various reasons at first. But it was the Turbo & PCE RPGs that made it my favorite early on. :)

I love the Genesis but still hate most of the western-developed stuff and most of the sports games as well.  But they did what sold.  Sonic 2 was probably the best western-developed game.

I would say it's more a case of a master Japanese director filming on location in America.   :wink:

Yeah, with half the crew being American.  I'm still not sure why they decided the game needed to be made like that.  Was Sonic 1 too Japanese?  I sure didn't think so.

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

Hell yeah!  Only the Genesis is powerful enough to change the number of windows (and possibly floors) on each building as it approaches.

It is not, however, powerful enough to display grass. Rapidly changing buildings, yes, but not grass. I bet the Turbo can display grass.

My grass is a solid-nuclear green block, so it looks good to me.
