We go over more than a dozen games that appeared on the Genesis and Saturn. Just how close were they and was the newer system always better?

Episode Notes:

1. Saturn games captured from real hardware. Genesis version from a Mega SG.

2. The Saturn version of Mortal Kombat II also has different AI than the arcade and Genesis versions. The computer plays much more aggressive and doesn't fall for the same strategies.

3. There is a great hack available for UMK3 on the Genesis. It puts back in a ton of content, sound effects, and comes in at a whopping 64 megabits.

4. I mixed footage with different characters at times to show you as much content as I could per segment.

5. The SVP chip inside Virtua Racing was used only once.

6. The Genesis also got a port of Hard Drivin', another Atari polygon racer that was very similar.

7. I used Madden 98 for the Saturn and Genesis in that segment.

8. The Saturn version of Earthworm Jim 2 actually has better backgrounds than the Playstation version.

9. The music of each segment is from one of the games in that series. The World Series Baseball segment uses Dreamcast tunes.

10. I always try to incorporate a little "attract mode" footage in my videos. A video like this is a 20 hour or more endeavor, so that extra footage can help immensely when lots of games are involved.

11. There are plenty of games left over between these two that could be used in a part 2. Let me know if you'd like more!

12. In the comparison for Outrun I used the color hack for the Genesis version.
