Why did they go with mode 7 + scaled sprites when they could have made it true to the original using the FX chip?
It was cheaper.

Would a stock SNES w/o super FX run Spectre? The original ran smoothly even on a low end 386 IIRC.
Because Nintendo is shit lol

A low end 386 has much more raw compute power than an SNES.

The game seems to run smoothly on the SNES as it is and doesn't look too bad.
I don't really see a need to use the SuperFX chip for this game, and the framerate would likely be somewhat poor if it were using the first iteration of the chip.
