The History of The Super FX Chip

[TrekMD]

In 1993 The Super FX Chip brought true 3D polygon based games to the Super Nintendo. A feat that many, including Nintendo executives, didn't think was possible. This is a preview for the Story Of The Super FX Chip. The strange tale of how a teenager, an off the cuff suggestion, and a cash strapped company brought the Super Nintendo into the third dimension.

Thanks for sharing! Stunt Race FX has always been one of my favorite SuperNES titles. StarFox is a great title as well. Yoshi's Island is quite impressive too. Dirt Trax FX also isn't too bad. I'd like to play the other titles.

So, they did exactly what they were set out to do.

Really? I was impressed they got that power on a small chip, but 93 we had Jaguar and 3DO, then by the time SFX2 games came out in late 95 we had PSX and Saturn for over a year, impressive polygon count for a small chip, but certainly wasn't blown away by any of the games by the time of release.
