Nintendidn’t
…as in “I didn’t own one”.
Back in the day, a Nintendo
console never graced my gaming
setup. Admittedly, as an
aficionado of Amiga and Atari,
and later a devotee of PlayStation
and 3DO, my perspective on
Nintendo’s esteemed machines
was, shall we say, less than
impartial. My appreciation may
have been tinged by brand
loyalty, perhaps blinding me to
the charms of what I now
recognize as a remarkable
gaming system.
…which in hindsight was a shame, because it’s an
impressive machine. My only exposure to one was a
friend and I played Street Fighter II Turbo on his for
weeks on end, and I throughly enjoyed it.
The games below are ones I have later found to be
fun, interesting or in many cases down right
impressive.
Stunt Race FX. It was the flagship game for Nintendo’s SuperFX chip and I was very keen to see it.
Star Fox. It’s an excellent game, it gets very exciting,
very quick, but the graphics are a bit lacking.
Yes it runs Doom. Yes it runs well.
A crazy dog trying to bite your worm nuts?
Street Fighter II Turbo on the SNES was
awesome.
