From my experience arcade ports and titles released for both are usually noticeably better on the Master System in both looks and sound. Rampage is one example. It also has less issues with the cartridge port. One caveat is the controller ports are prone to bent pins. Otherwise NES all the way.

I remember the adverts. They were pretty funny.

One of the few things I use Siri for is set timers when cooking. I have a very basic iWatch and it’s just a fumble fest for my clumsy ass trying to do anything with my giant hands. So I yell at it instead. Works oddly well. But yeah, would be nice if it wasn’t so clunky and obviously this isn’t always feasible in a loud kitchen.

Played the crap out of this game and the original with my neighbor as a kid. The co-op made them stupidly fun.
