    The biggest miss is that home consoles skipped over the sprite scaling hardware and went directly into 3D polygons. These games are amazing. Imagine telling game developers today to make an engaging game with only 128 or 256 sprites on screen max. Would they come out with Space Harrier, Hang On, Out Run, Thunder Blade, Galaxy Force, After Burner?

      Sega System 16 hardware. I think it could do 128 sprites and 2 backgrounds with possibly a 3rd for text. After Burner could do 256 sprites. They kept upgrading hardware so sometimes it is hard to follow. Fun fact... After Burner hardware didn't have sprite rotation... figure that one out. ;)

      @@mortenera2294 You're right, Thunder Blade is the X Board, along with After Burner. X Board has 256 sprites over the 128 of the System 16, and has 3200 sprite texels per scanline vs 800 for the System 16. I don't immediately see why the System 16 couldn't run Thunder Blade. The multi-layered sprites for the buildings are not all "full"; only the first sprite is; the others are thin and mostly empty, requiring no fill. You can see this when you fly close to them (seeing through the first sprite), or when the screen flickers @ 0:24). The game is well optimized, and this true in both perspectives. But it's possible the 128 sprite limit is exceeded in some areas of the game.

      @Lightblue2222 4 роки тому

      @whiteorangatange yea. The arcade original here is on superior hardware compared to Genesis. It actually has real scaling while Genesis is more of an imitation scaling effect.
      Only improvement to Super is the simulation feel to the helicopter. The arcade moves very instantaneously while on Super for Genesis there is a sense of weight. You have to keep in mind your momentum while moving. Makes sudden movements more difficult/realistic. Also, Super flys foward much faster "except for the top down parts"..
      Otherwise graphically, Super was a big downgrade.

And the interior is inside an attack chopper but that sounds more like a simulation to me than anything else?! I wish there were more games like this but then that's where all those pc attack chopper simulations kick in though. But Thunder Blade seems more simpler and intuitive. In the end all attack chopper simulations owe it all to the grandfather of Thunder Blade!!! Hard to imagine that this is 1987!!!!
