>> Hate to be a downer, but I wasn't impressed with Star Fox even at the time as an 8 year old boy I had mixed feelings about it. It was a pretty good game. On the other hand, I wasn't terribly impressed by the visuals (especially the framerate), and I think between StarFox and the coin-op Hard Drivin', a lot of gamers were left with a bad taste in their mouth when it came to polygon graphics. Remember, at the time on the PC there were games like Doom and X-Wing. Sure, you needed a fully-loaded 486 at the time to play these to the best of their ability, and even a SoundBlaster card was the cost of the SNES console. |

With a driving game like Hard Drivin', people expected the game to respond like, well, driving a real car.
There were other games that used higher speed polygons to better effect (Atari's I, Robot), or faster gameplay (Sega's Virtua Fighter).
