Ah, the Pepsi to SNES' Coke. The Burger King to its McDonald's, the Sonic to its... oh wait.

Tales of Phantasia actually had one fewer vote than SF2 and YI, but whatever, I'll throw it into the poll anyway. I'm still unsure if I want to even include SF2, but I'll allow it.

Only requirement is that you vote for a game on the Genesis that you think was more technically impressive than other games. This does not mean "better." This can be defined in terms of graphics, gameplay, or whatever you want.

Please bold your vote, this is standard stuff, guys

My Vote: This is a ridiculous vote, but I have to go with Toy Story. It actually sort of does look like the movie, which is insane for the time.

First thought is Phantasy Star 4

It looks pretty nice and plays well. Dunno if it's actually the most impressive, though.

genesis by itself, no 32X or CD attachments?

and would Sonic 3 & Knuckles count considering the two are separate games technically as you needed an attachment to play them together? because if that counts then it might just be it.

Honestly tough call. first that came to mind was that one rail shooter Cotton game, but that feels like a weird answer considering it's not even that close to star fox (still decent though, i do think it at least has a slight edge over ones like space harrier 2 mostly for its greater variety in its stages)

i guess there's also ones like after burner if it's cool to count ports
... actually building on that thought, maybe the answer is Silpheed, somehow that game was STILL super flashy by the time it reached mega cd tbh (despite being 7 years old by then)

and besides those virtua fighter is just a safe choice too tbh

as said though, tough call tbh. gonna hold off on deciding for now

Shout-out to the intro of Sonic 3D Blast for being full 3D and all.

actually i do also want to mention that i'm not sure you counted the votes properly yesterday since sf2 only really got 2 votes lol (excluding jc's double vote).

(this is probably my fault for saying it so much, my bad...)

Its possible I misunderstood peoples votes. It would have been easier if people had consistently bolded. But since I just put the top three into a poll for a final vote, it shouldnt matter in the end, since it means people are still voting for it.

Sonic & Knuckles or Ristar. Those games look, sound, and play absolutely stunning, even to this day

Being 3D isn't that impressive (it's pre-rendered), but managing to fit a decent FMV in the available space was.

it's less the fact that that there was a fundamental misunderstanding/lack of clarity over post contents and more just that only three (four counting you) users were even mentioning the game last topic lol

Virtua Racing does have an enhancement chip in the cartridge, but even accounting for that it's amazing they managed to make a decent Genesis port of a fully 3D game.

HM to Toy Story.
