- I think this is ridiculous, Sega had to spend a WHOLE year developing games so
- that they can compete with SNES???
- If this is what Sega is trying to do than I might as well sell my Genesis.
- I spend a whole F****** year waiting for a decent game for the Genesis and
- all they had released was junk, plain junk.
- Thats why I bought a SNES because of these long droughts of games from Sega. I'm
- glad that I bought the SNES since there the ones thats making me happy with decent
- games being released.
- Right now if I had a choice between the 2 I'll take the SNES over Sega hands down.
- If Sega and Nintendo would stop worrying about which of the two will be the
- number 1 and start making decent games than all of us would be happy, I think..:-)

- I don't think it was worth the wait a WHOLE year for Sega to release decent games.
- It's like saying, don't buy any games for the Genesis during Spring, Summer or Fall
- because the games will suck. Just wait till Christmas thats when Sega will release
- great games, yeah right. I the meatime SNES will dominate the market.
- The problem with the games you listed above only one game that I found to be
- excellent and that is SOR2, the rest I wasn't impressed.
- I have to admit that I haven't had the change to play Sunset Riders, Ecco the
- Dolphin and Lightning Force.
- So is it worth the waiting?? I think Not!
