By that time, your talking about larger versions of a SEGA Genesis. While
the 65c816 was used by Nintendo.
It was quite a capable machine in itself. When dealing in 16 Bit arena. You
were dealing with 16 bit processors.
SuperNES was quite the popular machine as was the Nintendo. In Japan, SNES
was SuperFamicon. While NES was called Famicon in Japan meaning Family
Console. Then in Japan if you bought a console it was for the family more or
less than just the kids. Again in US, Kids played with consoles not Parents
(then again that was the stereotype image and that was only the hollywood
image that was given to Japan. It is true that Kids did play with these more
than the parents but thats because when Parents come home from work they
want to rest and watch TV more than play games. Kids want fun and
entertainment. They want to be happy. Hate school, want fun because they
want to do what ever that pleases them.
