ITT: graphically impressive retro games. https://www.youtub

>Be graphically impressive for the console it was on
>Play like complete shit

What did most games that fall into this category mean by this?

I'm totally having a Mandela effect moment. I swear this show was called Wacky Racers.

>>3811726
not gonna lie, other than the coloured background, this looks like a C64 game.

>>3811736
Nah, pretty sure it was always wacky races.

Though I think during the opening the Narrator did at one point say "Wacky racers"

>>3811726

>retro

>>3811772
The console itself is retro. Hence why dreamcast games are allowed

Love the gradient sky, the GBC's color palette was amazing.

In some very specific situations the hardware can output more colors on screen than even the SNES.

It said, right on the start:
"And here they are! The worlds most daredevil group of daffy drivers who ever whirled their wheels in the Wacky Races! Competing for the title, of the worlds wackiest racer!"

This and also Yoshi's Island.

>>3811731

Every Infogrames game on the Game Boy, Colour and Advance fall into this category. Some play better than others but they had serious mastery of graphics if nothing else.

Yurop. They stuck too long with their C64 demos. Lived without NES and didn't clutter their games with gameplay

I'll give you the most impressive racing game on the GBC.

Nope, it was definitely Wacky Races.

Gotta love that demoscene music in every game though.

GBC is particulary good with that

Sometimes getting stuck with old tech is good.

Meanwhile in Brazil the monkeys got stuck with Genesis and never ever produced a single good game or something that isn't a rip-off.

>>3812192
How? Is this FMV?

Literally the only good part about C64 was the sound. I guess any attempts to create any semblance of gameplay on this machine were doomed from the start, especially with piracy and game prices more akin to discount bin.

Got the urge to play pic-related earlier tonight. I forget how gorgeous this game is. It's probably not just one of the best-looking Genesis games, but one of the best-looking 16-bit games, period. I can't think of many other games that had such flawless art direction.

My only Infogrames game was Snoopy Tennis, and actually I found the graphics to be mediocre, but I loved the gameplay. I actually preferred it to the GBC Mario Tennis.

I played the shit out of both Earthworm Jim games when I was a kid, so I've taken them for granted all these years, but they really do have some of the best graphics of their time, and the sprite animations are amazing.

Europe couldn't into PS2, so they created a PS2 game on PS1.

Ah, so you never played Lucky Luke or any of those games. I see.

Both of those games use enhancement chips in the cartridges that are more powerful than the SNES itself.

>I, Robot (1983)
The funniest thing about this game is it was so advanced for the time, most of the arcade boards overheated and fried themselves. Finding a working one is far more difficult than most arcade machines.

Toy Story. Some of the levels have 5 background layers, and there's even a 3D level. No enhancement chips.

Imo, Rockman & Forte is very impressive.

Looks like it was inspired by Freescape Engine games. They were designed to run on systems as weak as the ZX Spectrum.

It's one of a few examples when the game has amazing graphics AND great gameplay.

So obscure, this is the only footage.

Reminds me of the cavern sections in Cosmotank.

More like Bionic Battler.

:saving bump:

Z Gundam for the Famicom, both the retail and limited versions. Impressive for an '86 release, and the gameplay itself is solid too

Also Laser Invasion/Gun Sight for mixing 3 types of game in one and making it all work

For a 1991 release on a console based around the lowly MOS 6502, this is very impressive:

>>3813736
Having played this on a real PS1 it's very impressive but the engine is rather janky, loads of pop-up and really weird framepacing

>>3821398
The SuperGrapfx was very impressive, it's just that nobody ever bought one so developers ignored it in favor of the PCE.

>>3822074

reminded me of this game Ginga Fukei Densetsu Sapphire
