Not even one flight simulator on the SNES, not one.
Why? Because it doesn't have blast processing.
Also Super Nintendo sucks. The relied entirely on their meme-worthy scaling and rotation, resulting in clunky, predictable crap.
lol "Pilot Wings" (case in point).

Meanwhile on SEGA Genesis:

MIG-29 Fulcrum
F-22 Interceptor
G-LOC Air Battle
After Burner (Also available on the SEGA System)
F-117 Night Storm
LHX Attack Chopper
Thunder Blade (Also available on the SEGA System)
Ace of Aces (Exclusively for the SEGA System)
Jungle Strike
F-15 Strike Eagle II

For some reason they didn't include Star Fox otherwise it would have been 11 flight simulators to the paltry 10 you listed for Genesis.

I sometimes think that's a shame. It's not like it was strictly impossible on a technical level or because of a lack of peripherals. The SNES had a mouse and keyboard for example, and think of that big monstrosity of a control setup for Steel Battalion. Also older Flight Sims from the late 80s and early 90s did not have that many buttons and could have made the jump to consoles of the time.
Guess the audience for those games was too small to consider it?

>> No.5227071

The absolute minimum requirement for a flight simulator is to have six degrees of freedom for movement. Any autoscroller like After Burner is immediately disqualified.

I blame the /vr/ revisionist kiddies fir trying to call light gun games rail shooters so now the children here don't know what a real rail shooter looks like.

>> No.5227112

>>5227075
Yeah, people are retarded like that. "But its on rails duh". People are also incapable of understanding that games like REZ are light gun games (like House of the Dead) and not rail shooters (like Space Harrier, Star Fox), because in a light gun game you must shoot enemies before time runs out while in rail shooters you must dodge enemies and even navigate stages via direct controls.
Another stupid thing I often hear is "omg you can dodge in Time Crisis is that a rail shooter then" as if a temporary invincibilitypedal is the same as free direct controls on a 2d plane.

>> No.5227125

>>5227075
>>5227071
Actually, "on-rails" refers to the player in the game, not the camera's movement. Therefore games such as Space Harrier and Star Fox are in fact corridor shooters, being constrained to a narrow playing field, whereas games like HotD or Time Crisis are rail-shooters (as your character/first-person-camera moves along an uncontrollable rail, other than sparsely-placed choices of forks in the route like a real rail has)
You should avoid posting and instead do more research if you don't know what you're talking about

>> No.5227128

>>5227125
Call it whatever you want. It's important to understand that Space Harrier and, say, House of the Dead belong to completely different genres. Calling both games "rail shooters" is incorrect, period.
Why invent new terminology, though? There's "light gun games" for shooting galleries and "rail shooters" for autoscrollers.

Yes, Space harrier is not a rail shooter, as HotD is, so they are completely different genres as you said.
Light gun games are rail shooters almost all of the time.
