I’m deeply offended no one has thrown Star Fox into this mix XD

StarFox SNES and Starfox64, all the way. For goodness sakes, the first game brought all you gamers -3D- and the second brought us rumble control! Hallmarks in today’s gaming market that were first done through Star Fox.

Not to mention it’s just awesome XD

Wouldn’t have guessed you loved Star Fox with a username like that. But yes, I agree, Star Fox rocked my socks off to.

Still not as good as Wing Commander though.

Star Fox was pretty cool.Just about anything Shigeru Miyamoto touches turns to gold. I thought it was interesting to learn the inspiration for Star Fox.

From Wikipedia:

The game concept was inspired by a shrine to a fox god who could fly, and which Shigeru Miyamoto visited regularly. The shrine was accessible through a series of arches, thus inspiring the gameplay.

I remember the 3-D rendering was a big deal in the SNES age (the Super FX chip). I think Donkey Kong Country had a bigger impact though. I was in complete awe of the graphics and gameplay in DKC. That awe was not surpassed until seeing Mario 64 for the first time.

Heretic.

Thank you!! Someone else who shares my love for this game. My father and I still have occasional rounds of Heretic to this day.

Ah yes, DKC. I remember getting a promo video in the mail for the game months before it came out. Of course, this was before internet access, so the concept of seeing clips of forthcoming games was really cool. I remember thinking “I must get this game!” I guess their advertising paid off. I’m still upset that I blew my one and only chance to get 101% on the game.

Indeed it was. It is pretty interesting to hear about. The storyline and the game itself is at no loss of Japanese lore and myth. Story for me is a big part of it, the flying is 2nd place to that IMO.
