What's your opinion?

For me:
CONSOLES
8-bit (pre-85) : Colecovision
8-bit(post-85) : Sega Master System
16-bit : ?
32/64-bit : Nintendo 64

COMPUTERS:
8-bit : Commodore=64
16-bit : Commodore Amiga
32-bit : ????? Macintosh PowerPC I suppose

I can't pick a 16-bit.

The Genesis may have had relatively horrible colors compared to the SNES, it was faster and could do lots of sprites at once. Though it wasn't used in as many games as it should have been.

The SNES while slower, had a much nicer palette and showed many more colors. This came in handy on a lot of games. Especially the DKC series.

I never played other 16-bit systems though so I am a bit biased.

What about the PC Engine? That thing was meant to be really awesome back in the day.(16bit era)

That'd have been my pick for most powerful 16 bit home console.

Yep, same here.

I'm fairly certain at the time of release (U.S) it was all a numbers game: how large a game was MB-wise, processors, etc. The gaming magazines were quick to point out that the PC Engine really was two 8-bit processors. Naturally, almost all consumers thought that translated into subpar games. Since both the Megadrive and PC Engine retailed for the same price people put their money into the more powerful system. A shame really.

ps1 was ahead of its time or atlest i think soo
