Ben Heck recently broke down the Sega Genesis and a Super Nintendo to scientifically prove which 16 Bit console was the best. Which console do you think was better?
Not having ever used either one or watched Ben's video, I went with the SEGA Genesis since it has a 68000 CPU. I have very fond memories of programming and writing compilers for the 68000. It's a very clean 32-bit architecture and... wait a minute... didn't you say this was a battle of 16-bit consoles? Why in the world is a 32-bit 68000 considered a 16-bit machine? Sure, it has an external 16-bit data bus but the internal architecture is all 32-bit. That would be like saying an Intel 8088 is an 8-bit architecture rather than a 16-bit CPU with an 8-bit data bus. Grumble grumble whine moan insinuate.
