   That 3D intro was fucking badass. Can you imagine creating those 3D models with late 80′s modeling software? They probably had to make their own modeling software too, those guys have some serious talent.

   This review sucks balls. This idiot actually says he’s seen better looking Genesis games and complains about jaggies, blocky polygons etc… This was the early nineties!!! Mark is a complete n00b when it comes to certain systems.

   Or, they are true 3D, but are made to appear like the old side-scrolling platforms, like the last Mario games have been.

   @georgef551 Yes, as with all consoles, the next generation killed its production. The Sega Saturn was out, the PlayStation and the Nintendo 64 were coming soon, it’s a never ending cycle.
   Oddly, I’ve been seen more and more sprite-based games lately, looks like the tendency is to return to the Sega Genesis and SNES classic game styles but with the power of the newer systems to back them up.

   Unfrtunately, SNES’s weaknesses ultimately did it in. That, and the 64-bit arena.

   @georgef551 The folks at Argonaut actually worked a bit on the Super FX chip towards the end of the Super Nintendo’s life span, and the results were amazing. Vortex and the unreleased Star Fox 2 run faster and smoother than the first Super FX games, and in full 3D environments.

    One of the reasons to own a Sega CD. The graphics were mind blowing back then. The CD music and the communications chatter of your allies made things even more epic. Honestly Silpheed is not one of my favorite shmups but it’s a really fun game.

    Who cares if the backgrounds are pre-rendered the effect is clever and it looks great.

    @Outlander11 First, it isn’t the Genesis alone computing these graphics, it’s the Sega CD.
    Second, it’s pre-rendered.

    I was born in 1993, and i hate it when people older than me say ill never appreciate older games, but the first system I had was a sega. Then I got my hands on older systems, and worked my way from there. And I love old games. the base ground for all the games we play today, most if not all deserve their praise.

    @themadmallard
    Interesting.
    CD music was a good workaround.
    Albeit less powerful, the SFX xhip did the same thing for the SNES, although the in-cart thing probably limited the throughput quite some. (That, and keeping the game’s costs down.)

    @georgef551

    they did, 8 channels of pcm. they didn’t give it enough ram to load samples into it from the disc. it was rarely used. they just placed music from the cd track instead.

    also, the sega cd had its own CPU, so when plugged in, the sega/cd genesis combo became a dual core system.
