Title: Greatest looking 8 bit games?
Post by: AlteredBeast on May 19, 2001, 08:57:37 PM

What are your picks for best looking games of the NES/SMS generation? pics to support your claim are always nice.

mine go to:

Phantasy Star -

Yes, IMO, this game looks like any early Genesis RPG out there.


Street Fighter 2\' -

Arcade Perfect? not even close, but EXCELLENT 8 bit grpahics!


Sonic Blast -

excellent looking! I wanna say prerendered coins and such, but my mouth doesnt like the taste of foot.


Aladdin -

Not too bad of a game if you ask me, graphics are nice too.

Fantasy Zone II was the BEST looking game on the Sega MasterSystem, and certainly better looking than any NES game. It was super fast too, so fast actually that if you had anything higher than a Rocket Engine you\'d move faster than the screen could keep up and you\'d get lost somewhere way offscreen.

hmmm... I\'d like to add super mario bros. 3 to the list. Not only was it possibly THE defining platform experience of the whole generation, and IMO one of the best platform experiences (2D) ever, it had some nice visuals :)

Yeah Fantasy Zone 2 was a great looking and playing game!

Chuck Rock 2 (not for an 8-bit!!)

Maro 3 did look great, but when you compare it to Sonic Blast or Sonic Chaos on SMS, it gets spanked.

Maybe so politepet, but the screenshots you posted were of the 16 bit version. We\'re talking about 8bit games, so you should only post screenshots of the Mastersystem version.

Yup, Konami and Capcom made the best looking games on the NES. Contra, Castlevania, Mega Man, etc.

On the SMS, it goes to Sega. Duuuh, who else was there???

I didn\'t know SF 2 was out on the SMS. Must be a Europe thing. Its looks fantastic. It rivals that of the 16-bit versions.

Anyone remember the game Xexyz (spelling?)? It was a great game w/ great graphics.

Life Force, Super Mario 2 & 3, Castlevania 3, Phantasy Star, Golden Axe, Ghouls & Ghosts, TMNT 3, the list goes on....

Ashford, it was a Brazil only release, and it plays GREAT with the limited edition 6-button controller that you could also buy for another arm and a leg!!

Muhuhuhahahaha! I love being an afficiando!

The Megaman\'s looked great, but cant compare to the sonics or Wonderboys cause they only put 3 colors into a guy and not many moving backrounds or parallax.

Contra of course brings back great warfare memories!
