  most consoles of the past are good. In those times u can see mad frenzied teens playing at the shops. we used to exchange cartridges because they were ex at the time, it was a cultural phenomenon, all of it before the antisocial online gaming took over.....can u all remember Street fighter 2 used to be very very popular more than neo geo games.FYI the neo geo is a very expensive console to have reserved for the "elite" gaming society . SF2 was for the poor man gamers.... They had one on Ntendo, Sega(?) and utimately the best - 3DO. so what is different in the 3DO?
  Ans:The 3DO title had 3D background. something u cannot find in other version at the time. when the character move, the backgound dont move much and together with the better music and sound. While other version (Ntendo ect) had cartoon sound and music, the 3DO had full 2-channel 16-bit PCM at 44100 Hz CD quality synthesized music - true redbook audio specification

  Big, big cartridges VS small 5kb emulator game files OR 2GB worth of game files
  Limited sprite lines VS DirectX 9.0c
  256-Colour display VS 32-bit with 8-bit Alpha Transparency
  Old 8MHz processors VS AMD Athlon 64-FX 57 3200+
  Limited RAM (in kB) VS 2GB DDR-SDRAM with Dual Channel
  
  Now it is obvious why emulators, and computer games rock.

  Yeah, pressing the left+down+a+b gives out the "power" of the character. LOL! Damn fun and funny.
