Not exactly Starfox, is it?

Starfox is a better game. Virtua Racing's 3D is better, but tied to a simple racing game.


Lolwut. It looks like turd!

One is a Racing game, the other is a flight-combat game, hardly comparable genres are they?

anyway, my point was that the Megadrive could do 3D.

So does SNES Starfox. At least Virtua Racing lets you actively move and turn on the Z-axis, and it does it smoothly.

Good at the time, now horrifically dated looking. Basically made totally obsolete by the N64 version.

My favourite non-Nintendo system. I was playing Revenge of Shinobi on it earlier! :wub:

Saying that, I've heard dodgy things about this model when it plays carts, apparently the emulation is software based and really mucks up on certain games. Trying to find the link that details it (with unsuccessful results so far) but I'll post it here if I come across it.

I'd take Virtua Racing over Starfox any day (hell I'd take it over Lylat Wars).

I think I've been subconsciously holding onto Micro Machines Military for this day.

Also Cool Spot Goes To Hollywood.

3DO was the revolution that should never have been scuppered.
