That system has no business producing any kind of 3D graphics but they did it anyway.
- hnlmorg 3y agoYeah seen that before. It’s definitely impressive but it’s worth noting that there are a few 3D games for the Mega Drive. Albeit games like Virtua Racing did have additional chips in the cartridge (I have a boxed copy of that cart sat behind me). The Master System had stereoscopic 3D games too. As did the Famicom. I have both of their respective 3D addons too. Missile Defence in 3D is pretty cool. Hard to believe it’s 30+ year old tech.
- pbj1968 3y agoVirtua Racer was the only game with an extra chip for 3D. Everything else on that system is running straight off a ROM.
- hnlmorg 3y agoFor some reason I thought Sega had released other games with the SVP but you’re right Virtua Racing was the only one. I think maybe I got my wires crossed with Virtua Fighter 2, which did see a Mega Drive release but as a 2D fighter (the VSP port being cancelled - presumably because of the cost of the VSP).
- pbj1968 3y agoI went down some Covid quest of lunacy where I made literally hundreds of genesis cartridges. Yes, I’m aware of and own everdrives and multicarts, too. Got very intimately familiar with those pcbs by the end of it.
- hnlmorg 3y agoThat sounds interesting. Why did you create so many? What were they used for?
- pbj1968 3y agoJust to have a pile of them to run my fingers down while picking one to play. I started with a small list and then recreated my childhood. Then it was all those “always wanted to play that” games and the finally modern homebrew.
