It was SF2 that really brought the SNES far into the lead above the Genesis. Only time will tell which machine dominates, or if either even will. For the future, it seems that people are once again becoming sick and tired of platform games. I'd say the next revolution in gaming will be when a system comes with a modem built in, and games permit many players with the system to play against each other in real time. I hope that we can have the wisdom, though, to appreciate where today's games came from, and what made them great.
Cynicism is only realism projected into the future.
