Sonic or Mario?

[luke]

Hi guys... I used to own a sega megadrive with like every sonic game ever written... but i got picked on at school cos everyone thought mario was better... lol it was like the holden and ford battle of my childhood... just wondering what everyone else thinks?

:

i reckon sonic looked kooler, and was a kooler character, but mario was a far more fun game

[MickyB]

It was like holden and ford I agree, I was always a Nintendo boy, so Mario gets my vote, although sonic on the megadrive was pretty fun too.

[Casper]

Sonic kicked ***.

[XplosiveR6]

i was always a nintendo guy, nevery even thought about one of those silly sega's.
i remember when donkey kong country came out, that game was the szhit, and showed just how lame the sega mega drives where compared to the SNES, hehe

[Bluehoon]

Sonic,

i remember the days of 16 bit sega megadrive........
Still got it somewhere,

Sonic - the one, the only. :

NES, SNES, Mario, all the way, had every mario game I could get my hands on!

Super Mario Bros 3 by far the best, followed by Mario 64...

[Kenaz]

Tough call. Sonic was a great game, probably a little bit more fun than Mario. Donkey Kong owns them both

[Pilch]

The old NES was great, it's still kicking about somewhere in good functioning order Mario gets my vote, 'coz the gameplay was better and there was a more vast selection of games across the NES/SNES platform.

[megsy]

have to go mario, had all the games, even got duck hunt floating round somewhere, pretty sure they still work too

[MITCHAY]

Mario for sure. Never played the Sega much.

[The MaDDeSTMaN]

Mario - the levels were better designed, the difficulty curve was JUST right, and all the mario games had much better repeat play value once you had beaten them compared to Sonic.

My opinion, others milage may vary.

I was a sega man, through and through. Sonic was a great platformer.. but it always me to tears how much better street fighter 2 and MKII was on SNES... and donkey kong was the icing on the cake...

But in sega's dying days, virtua racing was king of all!

[Sagerian]

Sonic, sonic and lets see, sonic. I was a Sega kid all the way and thought nintendo was gay. I made my choice and I stand by it, time is going to tell on that one.

[TZENU]

Mario Bros on the NES was awesome.... it took alot of hours to save the bloody princess!

Another good game was Street Gangs!

Hehehe, yeah, or the old PC Vs Amiga arguments, hahaha :hihi:

[loxxr6]

Mario was the better game but I was a Sega man back in the days.

[Penelope Pitstop]

It was all about Mario for me because – and boy will this show my age – I adored Mario on my Game and Watch handheld.

Does anybody else remember Nintendo GAME and WATCH??

At least we are not going back to Commodore 64 vs 1/2x86 :hihi:

[Heeno]

well i liked mario cuz i had a SNES but at the same time i really liked sonic cuz the only time i got to play it was when i was at a friends place, but Alex Kidd now that was a game :

[niko]

yep i do i used to play the Donkey Kong one and Oil Panic.

definetly Mario for me too! i used to love playing my NES and now i wish i didnt get rid of it! had so many games on it like Mario/duckhunt, california games, double dragon, some kung fu game...etc

[Steffo]

The only console I ever owned was a Sega Master System II... and the only games I had was the built in Alex the Kid in Miracle World.. and California Games.

If I had to pick though... Mario > Sonic.

[Sourbastard]

Well gee thats tough, and I had to pick between the two, id choose Duke Nukem.

[Pilch]

Alex the kid was great, used to play that heaps coz my mates parents were gonna get them the new sega console and games if they could clock it...

did anyone have Megaman 3 on NES. That is probably the best game I ever played in my childhood IMO!!!

Ditto. But bloody hell, I used to spend hours, days, weeks and months on my own Sega 1 and my friend's NES. Not to mention the Commodore 64, Colecovision, PC, Atari, Megadrive, N64....

So many classics.. I want to buy a NES but they are more expensive than a freakin' Playstation 1 at Video Games Heaven! Argh!!

[Kryton]

id have to say Mario. i had a Sega for literally 10 minutes before i smashed it whilst playing some stupid car game. didnt matter, only cost $10 from cash converters.

[XA Coupsta]

Sonic for me. Heaps of levels, easy gameplay - and it was fast too.

And anyone else play Toe Jam and Earl on the megadrive? Got into that a bit.
