 Hmm.. the Super Nintendo, the so-called winner of the 16-bit console war. While I remember running out and emptying my bank account on the last day of school in 7th grade to buy one, I also remember selling it a year later and keeping my Sega Genesis. The Super Nintendo did not win the 16-bit wars in my opinion, after all the Genesis's popularity lasted almost as long as the SNES and it came out almost 3 years earlier! The game library for the Genesis dwarfed the SNES and there were a lot better sports games. :) Despite all of this, I loved a lot of the SNES games, it clearly was more graphically pleasing, with 4 time the simultaneous colors on screen, and hardware rotation and scaling and skewing (with the cleaver title of Mode-7 Graphics). Later, the add on in-game processors such as the Super-FX chip and the DSP chip for games like Star fox and Super Mario RPG, brought the system back to life when interest was dwindling. After Sega announced the Sega-CD attachment for the Genesis, Nintendo, in a joint venture with Sony, announced a CD attachment for the SNES. When the Sega-CD didn't fair well in the market, Nintendo pulled out of the deal with Sony. Nintendo probably regrets the decisions now. Sony not wanting to loose vested time and money changed the CD attachment into the stand alone Sony Playstation, just in time to Mop up all of Nintendo's Customers.
ZSNES for Windows This is a completely new development, ZSNES is once again my SNES emulator of choice! With support for the Super-FX and DSP chips, Super Eagle, SAIx2, Sound Interpolation, even SuperScope-6 and Mouse support! Not only that this version includes NETPLAY! That's right you can play your friends across the world! Once you play this you'll never look back! ZSNES is available on the following Operating Systems: DOS, Linux, and Windows But the one I have available to download is the Windows version because who would play it in DOS anymore?
