Best looking 16-bit game?

Here is a Yoshi\'s Island screen. The game looks good, but I know there are alot better out there -



-------
In comparison, look at Chrono Trigger, that is still one of the best looking titles out there, IMO. better than SMRPG, YI, Sonic 3D Blast, etc.
-------
SMRPG also used Mode 7 crap, which makes it look all garbled, which is why I think, overall, Sonic 3D Blast looks better, compare the bonues stage pic in the pic of S3DB to a behind the back part of SMRPG.


-------

Here is another DKC3 screen, and this title, if we were just doing pre-rendered 16-bit titles, would definetly take the cake, easily.



-------

Gunstar Heroes was great looking because of the tons of bad guys on the screen, huge amounts of explosions, and giant bad guys all without slowdown, and great looking, too!




more later...

IMO, Gunstar Heroes and Sonic and Knuckles were 2 of the best looking 16 bit games.

HEY!!! I mentioned Gunstar Heroes in a post above yours.

One of the coolest bosses of all time is in this game. I\'m talking about (Forgot his name) in the Mines level on Hard Mode. You face seven different forms, either travelling horizontally or vertically. Awesome designs by Treasure.

Ohhhhh......wait a minute. I get what you\'re saying. That bit of sarcasm by Altered on the Angelfire logo having only 5 colors. I\'m a little slow, sometimes.

One of the best games EVER. I want a remake of this game but I want it done well so that it doesn\'t ruin my memories. It has to be a side-scroller.

I remember buying this game for only $20. It came with a free Fruit Roll-Up.

No, it wasn\'t during the slow deaths of the 16-bit systems. It was some kinda sale, I\'m guessing, at Toys \'R\' Us. This was near the time when Gunstar Heroes was released.

\'Nuff said.

Agree entirly. This is the game I thought of when I first seen the topic header, well actually the original.

While I agree there may of been games that looked better TECHINCALLY then Yoshi\'s Island, I have to say it looked the best simply because it had its own graphics style goin\'. Nothing matched the graphics styled used in Yoshi\'s Island.

My pick is for Saturday Night Slam Masters.

This game was huge.  The pictures don\'t do the game justice.  To see it in motion is unreal.  Everything is so big and fast.  It\'s almost like Street Fighter with ropes and cooler characters.
