The pseudo-3D stuff and big bosses made up of lots of small sprites in Gunstar Heroes and Dynamite Headdy are still fucking awesome to me.

I have no clue how they got those kinds of effects out of the Genesis but they were just amazing.

People like to knock it now, but I think digitized sprites floored just about everyone when they were new.

For me and surely many others it was the feeling of 3d control for the first time.

So daunting at first, but also so incredible.

oldfag here, IMHO early untextured polygon 3d was the pinaccle of gaming for me. We have far surpassed that by now but I cant help but feel we barely scratched the surface of what was possible.
