I used to play Stunt Race FX religiously when I was a kid. I thought it was amazing that I even had a racing game that was in 3D and had such dynamic environments.

love how you feature not one but two songs from the amazing Sea of Stars <3

SNES, GBA PS1 PS4 videos from you make me happy... And I'm happier to see far east of Eden (Tengai Makyō Zero)
Pilotowings has a special place in my heart, and I still have it.
Another graphically impressive SNES game can be Traverse starlight and praise so beautiful RPG sadly never left Japan... Ihatovo Monogatari is a weird game and won't be for everyone, but still a hidden gem, I think can be a good choice as well.

Thanks again for another video 😊😊

I'm a simple man, I saw android 18, I click ~ 🤣🤣🤣

But tbh, you got good content, keep it up ~ 🍻

[Sliider]

love the Sea of Stars background tunes!🤣

I remember Pilot Wings! Especially because a similar game (that included only the parachute part) was included in an old Nokia phone (3510 I believe). But yeah, really fun game!

I’m so glad Cybernator and Super Turrican 2 got recognition along with Act Raiser 2. It had a good soundtrack too!

Thank you for featuring illusion of Gaia it was one of the most awesome snes titles and seeing it get some love after all this time was amazing

Illusion of gaia/time is my favourite snes game and is definitely in my top 5 games games of all time.

Cybernator, Front Mission and Metal Marines got that 80s anime going on strong.

[adamlach]

i LOVE og pilotwings! An amazing game!

[GameCubeGalaxy]

Some awesome games highlighted here. Cybernator is such a hidden gem, and also visually impressive as stated. Another excellent episode man!

A great video! This is my first of yours, but not the last. I love how you open up the video with the piano from the Tekken 2 intro (where we see Nina for the 1st time). Instant subscriber!!❤❤❤❤

Never hear about Cybernator and I love Metal Warrios. Gonna try to play it now 🤩🤩

Illusion of Gaia was one of my favorites as a kid. I bought it in the bargain bin at EB games and was blown away by how deep it was.

[rodneyabrett]

It gets a lot of hate, but I really loved Act Raiser 2. I enjoyed that game a lot at the time it was released

The SNES blew people away with impressive graphics day one so it’s no wonder you’ve got many games you can make these videos on. An I’m happy to see the superior looking SNES model get used for the intro.

0:43 – Is this Will but older? Rather cool if your character actually aged up throughout the game all the way back on the SNES. The colour palette is amazingly vibrant!

2:20 – Going for a far more muted palette here but Cybernator is impressing with the animation of it’s robot (that gun arm has a wonderful movement to it) and the in-your-face explosion effect.

3:24 – That so? It does intrigue me so I’ll have to consider checking it out if I get time.

8:30 – Hudson Soft’s turn based RPG I believe. Somewhat doubt Konami will go the extra mile of translating these games for a modern collection release but it’d be cool if they did. I like how they have the Phantasy Star/Dragon Quest enemy focus view point whilst still having each player character visible, and with distinctively vibrant back sprites to boot.

12:44 – An then there’s the thumbnail game. The closest I’ve ever got to experiencing anything of this Butoden series was Ultimate Battle 22… which doesn’t give a good impression. These SNES entries look to run much smoother. The fuzzy backgrounds have a nice charm to them, as if they are conveying far distances.

14:01 – The light effect of Turrican’s gun looks so cool. Also liking the small animated background details, managing to breathe a bit of life into the destroyed city landscape.

16:04 – The blocky look has a nostalgic charm to it these days. Love the decision to add big bobbly eyes to the cars and the water splash effect looks great.

Great video! BTW are u using Sea of Stars 8-bit ost as background music? That's top notch! <3

The SNES was truly a great system. With the right programming tricks and skills, there's a lot to do with its 256 simultaneous (32768 possible) colors, up to four layers of parallax scrolling plus sprite layer and its mode 7
7 capabilities. Some early PS games looked inferior to the best looking SNES games, and titles like Rendering Ranger R2 and Turtles Tournament Fighters are even on par with some Neo Geo games. Amazing home console and still a great system with an amazing library of games and some decent and quite accurate arcade ports from the pre arcade perfect aera, MK2, Fatal Fury Special, World Heroes 1 and 2, Fighters History, Parodius, the great and timeless Street Fighter games and of course the port of Killer Instinct, with inferior sound and graphics but faster and better gameplay than the arcade original. The SNES was all you needed in the early to mid 90s. Many people (mostly fanboys, I don't mind any sort of fanboyism) today claim the SNES has muffled audio (but it's actually better than other cartridge based systems of the same generation), a slow CPU (indeed, 3.58mHz is actually slow compared to others but don't forget about enhancement chips with MUCH higher clock speed) and lower horizontal resolution (256 pixels wide, others had 320), but its whole architecture was entirely different to other systems of the time like the Megadrive or PC Engine/TG-16 for example, so it doesn't make sense to compare the CPU clock speed of the different systems. Every system had its strenghts and weaknesses (just like today, but it would be kind of boring if everything is the same), but the most important thing is, NOBODY complained about such things back then, we were more than happy with what we got. Great times back then, the 16bit aera was the best imo abd I'm glad I whitnessed it. Please excuse my bad English (it's not my language) and have a nice day!
