hmm

cringe

In japan it was 1988

In america, 1989

ah, ok; prolly 90' when i got mine

maybe 91

Sega released their 16 bit console a few years before nintendo, when they were still running the NES

yeah, but the 16 bit consiole wasn't very popular

I mean

It was basically a 50/50 divide eventually

Between the genesis and the SNES

yeah, pretty much

then the dream station killed it

Sorry the whay

Sega's main problem was getting footing after the 16 bit era

I've also been PC my whole life so 8/16 bit means color pallet and not architecture

Screwing up with their subsequent consoles

sega cd i guess it what it was called

@UrstMcRedHead I mean it did mean color pallete for consoles too

The sega cd was an addon for the genesis

Their next console was the saturn

Doom, and Quake where 8bit color pallet, but came out mid 90s

ah, saturn; maybe that is the one i was thinking of

boomer memory; only 16 bits at a time

😉

Nintendo's big mistake was sticking with cartridges even with the nintendo 64

It did work

And the nintendo 64 wasnt a failure by any means

That's why quake looked like shit 256 colors doesn't go well with dynamic lights

But it could've been more

Still, the nintendo 64 had plenty of nintendo charm to carry it

Then the Playstation 2 came along and basically became the best selling console of all time

Outselling both the genesis and SNES combined

reminder that the Gamecube was actually underrated for the generation it was a part of, hardware-wise.

Untill people got over the Xbox having a HD

@Eirshy thr gamecube shouldve been spherical
