Genesis sound chip was sort of limited in the vibe that could pull off, everything ended up having this tinny retro sci-fi sound. I love some Genesis tracks but I would say the super Nintendo had a more all-around sound fit for everything. Snes was very warm sounding
Yeah some games came off sounding not so great with genesis I will say. You are right about snes it had a grand orchestral sound that really made games like donkey Kong , final fantasy and star fox
I never had the Genesis/Megadrive, but I did have the Sega Master System and I thought the sound chip in that was pretty cool given it was only an 8 bit system.
Funny thing was growing up I never seen or heard of the master system , I didn’t find out about it till like 6 years ago. I only knew of nes. I also didn’t know that the mega drive was the name of the genesis system in Japan , I thought it was completely different than the Genesis
I think that sound chip preferences have as much to do with what you grew up playing as it does with what frequencies you're comfortable listening to. My buddy had the Genesis and I did like it quite a bit. But for me the TurboGrafx ha dthe most full sound ever. It wasn't as high pitched and artificial (to my ears) and when we go the CD-ROM...there was no going back
@ I never played TH16 till 2021 when I got the mini, I knew of it as a kid but didn’t know anyone who had it, I would have loved to experience it as a kid

Totally agree. Friend had a Genesis and I couldn't stand it's sound...LOL. Everything always sounded like it was in a tin can.
@ I won’t deny the tin can sound, I do enjoy it though, some games it sounded amazing and some sounded not as incredible
