You know? I always found console wars to be quite funny.
PC "Master Race" embarrass themselves from time to time, too.
Today we can see Sony and Microsoft fanboys sniping at each other,
taking pot shots every time the company they don't feel "attached to"
gives them the chance to do so, just like clockwork, or even trying
to undervalue the system of their "rivals" to make "theirs" better,
using whatever silly argument as weapons of choice, while
making any forum or online platform their battlefield.
This is something that has been happening for a looong time,
and as time passes, the more embarrassing and juvenile gets to me,
even more when you find that the average age of "gamers" is, well...
35 Years. No, really.
Sounds crazy to me. I'm not even 30 at this point in time.
But anyway, all this really got going back in the fourth generation,
the so called "16-Bit Generation", and as unnecessary as it was back
then as it is today (Unless you're making money out of it, I guess),
at the very, very least there was a kinda sorta point to it... Somewhat.
The two most popular home consoles back then where really different.
Hardware was very different, controllers were very different, the types of games
that stud out on each platform were very different, and both platform creators
offered very different first party games.
While the discussion on the "War level" I find useless, at least things
varied a lot from one to the other, so discussions where at least, logical.
Also, back then the average ages were far lower, that kinda counts too.
But anyway, let's talk about one of the two contestants of that "first war".
This is the introduction for the Super Nintendo.
