Anyway I chose the Sega mainly because the games looked better and after a year or two they started releasing some really good titles for that system.
Jungle Strike was a favourite, as was a version of Dungeons and Dragons. Landstalker forced me to buy a joystick controller as it was sort of 3D and all the movements were on the angles. Shining Force was another favourite title as well.

I did buy a NES sometime later when they were being phased out for the N64. Zelda and Final Fantasy were my favourite titles for that system. For some reason, Sega really blew it with their 64 bit system and had no good titles at release, so I went Nintendo 64 for a while and then PlayStation1.

I think the NES was the first system to really have engaging story lines and interesting games that were not only difficult and fun, but surprising....

SNES continued this legacy, but I think Sega really attempted to appeal to a older audience... but I still stand by my choice and support of NES / SNES 64+ on nintendo I feel less and less inclined to support them, and I never even played a game cube... (instaed moving more into playstation)

"The Legend of Zelda" for NES...

Everyone was talking about old gaming systems... Doesn't anyone remember the old ColecoVision console? Or even Coleco at all???

I do, but again, I seperate the games of that generation, to the games of NES as such a drastic change in the idea of gaming, that I put all of the emphasis of those historic games to the NES

I remember ColecoVision, and I played it once or twice at a friends house. I never got to own one. In fact, I never owned an Atari, but played it many times. The first console I ever owned was a NES.

I loved playing Contra, but Mike Tyson's Punch out was still my favorite....no, wait, Ikarari Warriors was great with a friend. We stayed up all night trying to beat that game.
