Graphics: Turbo vs. Genesis - ye old debate

[awack]

Here are a couple(not the best comparison shots), the Jpn version seems to be influenced by the turbo duo SOTB, a few things don't look as good as its US counter part but over all i think it looks quite a bit better.

[Joe Redifer]

Thanks guys, btw, for all these comparison shots. Very cool. It's really hard to say which is better.

[Tatsujin]

which the best is, can be said with ease. but which the 2nd best is, is much harder.

Genesis Zealot: The Genesis has 80 sprites!
Turbo Zealot: Yeah but the Turbo can do 32x64 sprites, whereas the Genesis can only do 32x32 tops!
Genesis Zealot: The Genesis has two background layers! Hah, beat that, Turbonerd!
Turbo Zealot: So does the Supergrafx! And it has twice the RAM! Hah back at you!
Genesis Zealot: Hey that's not fair, no one has a Supergrafx!
Turbo Zealot: Hah! Sucks to be you!
Genesis Zealot: The Genesis has SHADOW MODE!!!!!!*&^!@$#^^
Turbo Zealot: The Turbo has more colors already built in without the need for some stupid hardware hack!
Genesis Zealot: The Genesis has 32 megabit games!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111111
Turbo Zealot: You need all that extra memory for the wasteful CPU your console has! We don't NEED cartridges that big! Besides, our Street Fighter II kicks your Street Fighter II's stupid ass!
Genesis Zealot: Sega's games on the Turbo look like ass!
Turbo Zealot: WELL NO DUH! They had to make them look like crap on superior hardware (Turbo) so they could sell more of their inferior hardware (Genesis)!
Genesis Zealot: Well suck on this! The Genesis has a 16 bit CPU with a higher clock rate! HAH! Sucks to be your old 8 bit turtle!
Turbo Zealot: The Turbo's CPU is more efficient than your wasteful RISC wanabe CPU! It performs better than your Frankenstein of a CPU!

SNES Zealot: Hey, guys, what's up?
Genesis Zealot: Um, I have to go somewhere... else, now.
Turbo Zealot: Uh, yeah, me too!

Hey all.  I'm new to this forum.  I know this is an old thread, but I just had to put in my two cents.  I don't know why people on this forum would make such a big deal about graphics!  When it comes to games, the graphics are not all that important.  It's the game play that counts.  If graphics were the be all and end all of gaming, our Turbo and Genesis systems would all be long-forgotten and collecting dust somewhere, or at the dump, and we would only be discussing our Playstation 3's and X-Box 360's.  But since someone brought this up, I actually prefer to think of my TG-16 as an 8-bit system, because when you compare it to other 8-bit systems, the graphics are downright miraculous!  Eat you heart out, NES and Master System fans!

Back again huh nintega? 

[albinoMithos]

If this is who I think it is, it is DEFINITELY not Nintega.

Hopefully it's not, but I do remember nin making that same exact argument...  And the name.  Just sayin'  anyways off topic on my part.  Sorry 'bout that.

I like to think of my Xbox 360 as an 8-bit console, because it crushes the puny competition even more so.

That's a fun dream, whereas the Turbo REALLY IS an 8-bit console.  Last time I heard, the X-box 360 was getting crushed by the lame-assed Wii.  No I am not this nintega person.  I would never disgrace myself by using a name that has any part of the word nintendo in it.
