Console Wars

During the early to mid-1990's, Yugoslavia was broken apart by a civil war. Groups coexisting in peace from late-1918 to mid-1991, suddenly began to see each other as enemies, which continued with the Kosovo War of 1998–1999 and Slobodan Milošević kicked out in early-October 2000. But in Japan and the Western World (except the Northern Ireland conflict between British-Protestants and Irish-Roman Catholics), everything was peaceful?

Not when it came to videogaming! Nintendo and SEGA fought a console war. Nintendo's NES fought SEGA's Master System while the SNES clashed with the SEGA Mega Drive. This affected the entire world of videogaming, from children talking at schoolyard during breaks between lessons at school to videogame magazines trashtalking consoles of other companies. There were TV-commercials with "SEGA does what Nintendon't?

What memories do you have of console wars? (doesn't need to be SEGA against Nintendo), just videogames? Was it much talk among children which was the best? Did you read videogame magazines playing on the console wars?
