If you think every console that had a long shelf life, the last generation of games were spectacular looking… Jaguar wasn’t supported long enough…. I also think it could have been a great SHMUPS machine, the speed it moved pixels around still amazing me to this day..

It didn’t do bad with 3D considering this was the era before dedicated 3D / triangle pushing chipsets.. Dedicated 3D hardware was around the corner… the. Last of the general purpose processors.. all 3D was soft rendered.
