It’s a question as old as the 16-bit war itself. Did the sound of the Sega Genesis hurt its long term appeal?

Episode Notes:
1. This video was a massive undertaking and has footage captured from the original consoles as well as FPGA alternatives.
2. I really wanted your ears to do most of the deciding in this episode. I tried not to spend too much time harping on technical specs.
3. I discovered a few more great Genesis soundtracks while making this video. Devilish was quite a surprise.
4. I couldn’t put every Genesis game that sounded good in this episode. Just because it isn’t here, doesn’t mean I don’t like it.
5. When I got my SNES I immediately hooked it up to my stereo. I really irritated everyone in the house for months until I got a good pair of headphones with a very long cord.
6. The SNES was the first system I saw via S-Video. Changed my life in an instant.
7. I consider Super Castlevania IV to be the pinnacle of SNES music.
8. This video was a nightmare to get posted. I ran into copyright claims on the music and I uploaded the wrong edit before this final version. 5 tries in total.
