This has got to be the big one from back in the day, Sega Vs. Nintendo, sixteen bit titans slugging it out for dominance. But let's not also forget NEC and the TurboGrafx 16 AKA the PC Engine. A distant third but still a player. Which is best? let's sort this out once and for all, more or less objectively as I compare these systems technical capabilities.

Good info on the basis of the MD/GEN sound chip:
FM Synthesis in under 4 minutes:
