Episode description


Sega or Nintendo? The question that philosophers have pondered for centuries. Blast Processing or Mode 7? Mario or Sonic? What the hell is a Turbografx 16? In this episode we're getting down and dirty into the 16-bit console wars, arguably the most high profile feud between video game systems in history. We're talking the SNES and the Genesis, sure, but who could leave out the lovable scamps Neo Geo and CD-i (ok, maybe not the last one). We'll also examine the role of the early adopter 32-bit consoles that couldn't, the 3DO and Atari Jaguar. All this, plus a healthy dose of retro gaming news in this hellish episode of Pixel Dreams.
