I like Sega. Didn't really grow up with it, since we were a Nintendo household. Nintendo "block", really; it was a small town where everyone knew and hung out with each other, and pretty much none of the kids had both, you either had an SNES or a Genesis. It was about 75% SNES kids, maybe even 80%, but a few still had the Genesis. Like always, you had a few kids who were"fanboyish" about which one was "better", but most of them were pretty honest; even if they preferred one over the other, they still always wished they had the console they didn't own, too.

Most of my Genesis memories were from when I'd spend a couple weeks at my cousin's place over the summer. They had money, so they had both systems, and I got to play a lot of stuff I wouldn't normally get to. We mostly played Sonic, Altered Beast, Golden Axe, Bonanza Brothers, Mortal Kombat, stuff like that. Oddly, even though a lot of my friends were TMNT fans, I never knew anyone who had either "Hyperstone Heist" or the Genesis version of "Tournament Fighters". To this day I still haven't played either.

I was curious about the Sega CD, but I wasn't impressed when I played a little of it over a friend's house. Never messed with the 32X or the Saturn, but when the Dreamcast came out, I played Sonic Adventure in a weekend over my cousin's place and loved it. I had every intention of picking it up soon after, but I actually never got around to it until like two years later, and like a week later, a friend asked to borrow it aaaaaaaand I never got it back. Never even got to buy more than one game for it. I don't ever do anyone any favors ever since. Not ever.

So yeah, I had some fun with Sega systems and games but mostly through other people. Honestly only got to enjoy most of the best-known games fairly recently with the various compilations.
