Yeah, genesis deserve more credit then it was given. Actualy all sega console deserve more credit then they are given. Genesis started as the competition of Nes and it stayed arround a while with the addition of the sega cd and 32x thing.
I never played that 32x but im sure it was good. As for saturn the problem was coding related the technology was 2 advanced for it's time and the games were impossible to code. There is no game that came close to pull 20% of the power that console had. it was like a mini xbox. It was impressive for when it came out. Dreamcast i wouldnt be able to tell. But i know Sega are quite good.
If anyone know some/all Phantasy star serie they are all made by Sega.
