"Why so Super"

What was it about games on the Megadrive that made them so "Super". Think about it...off the top of my head there was:

Super Kick-Off
Super Tennis
Super Monaco GP

But even in the Megadrives heyday, these were hardly "Super" were they?

Call it harsh, but when games are called "Super" then should be blooming brilliant!!

There was a console called 'Super Nintendo' and that wasn't Brilliant. Its probley to warn people not to buy the game?

'Super' is still used today- Super smash bros. And, yes, you guessed it! It's definately not super!

And another thing...the Mega CD...that was also pants...it was the equivellent of sitting at home watching Emmerdale, in your rocking chair, with your blanket, pipe and slippers. Where as the Megadrive was like watching Baywatch, in a closed room - in your speedos!!

You. must. Die.

The SNES was brilliant. how dare you. and super smash bros is a multiplayer laugh.

but yes most stuff with super in it's title are completley rubbish. It's a way of saying hey buy this game. It's to try and sell it on the title not the game.

Not forgetting...

Super Hang On
Super Skidmarks
Super WrestleMania
Super Off-Road
Super Baseball

...etc.


However, if anyone tries to argue that Super Skidmarks was not in any way 'Super', I shall see to it that their genitalia is covered in meat paste, and dangled on front of hungry lions.

How about super mario.
that was ok.

I thought we were on Megadrive games?

Half of all the SNES games released had the 'Super' prefix. Then on the N64 they all had the '64' suffix.

Nintendo like to make sure people are aware of what console the games are on, don't they?

Yeah sorry I forgot about the megadrive bit.
