    All the rotation and scaling effects on the Sega 16-Bit were done via software.
    Konami and Treasure often used them, but other companies stayed away because doing it via software ate up a lot of precious space on the cartridge ROM.

    This was one of my childhood games on the Genesis. I always liked that dead turtle mini-boss as a kid though I never got far into the game. Though now I am able to fully experience the game and it is still awesome. I really liked Wings of Wor and its style.

  • @Arvoyea
    @Arvoyea 7 років тому +3

    released in USA as Wings of Wor I was terrible at it but loved it as a kid. I'm gonna go back to this one because I love shmups, just can never beat them properly.
    fun fact: Gynoug/Wings of Wor is developed by the same dev team who would go on to create Cho Aniki.
    ...YES, THAT CHO ANIKI.

    You forgot to mention the incredible art made for the monsters, they're that sort of HR Giger aliens mixed with some horror zombie content which certainly makes this game so memorable... this art somewhat remembers me of R-TYPE but with a more medieval and steampunk approach.

    @videogameobsession 11 років тому

    I never said hardware scaling used anything other than the initial graphic.
    I was speaking about a game that used effects to convey something is getting closer or further away on a non-scaling hardware system.
    For example, a game like Outrun on the Sega Genesis, will have graphics such as, cars, signs, trees, etc.. saved as bitmaps of various sizes.
    For games that use more advanced Mode style effects such as Gunstar Heroes they will store every frame as a RAW format and then load to VRAM.
