Pilotwings did not use the FX chip. It used a DSP chip, which was basically a math coprocessor. First FX chip game was Starfox.

Starfox indeed was the first (and almost the only) game to use the FX chip. Pilotwings used Mode 7, which was standard in the SNES and was used in almost every game made for the system.

Yes. I still have my working copy. The DSP chip in Pilotwings (and Super Mario Cart) was used for the 3D space calculations, not the Mode 7 effects.

Yoshi's Island used the FX or FX2 (I can't recall which) for the graphic effects. DOOM for the SNES (what WERE they thinking?) was the last if not only game to use the FX2 chip.

OK, so maybe it was a different game. The game I'm thinking of was definitely 3D, which was impossible with a normal SNES game.

ST:SA was definitely 3D - it was actually the last cart I got for my SNES.

It was fun, but there was no texture mapping whatsoever, and the framerate was lousy in anything more than single ship duels... which were, however, terribly fun.

I distinctly remember Andross's face as being non-textured polygons. I know this because my brother and I used to joke about how it looked like they had cast Chuck Norris in lawnmower man, if lawnmower man had been made in 1985.

Now that you mention it though, I do remember a few textures on some things, but the vast majority were untextured.

Pilot Wings was quite possibly the most fun I ever had playing a SNES game. I don't know what it was about it, but I couldn't stop playing it. The helicopter level owned.

Not to get off topic, cause I also thought Mario RPG was awesome, how do you get the random "pre-quote text" (Example: PhattyMcPhat was naked when he typed this: OR From the book of Led, chapter 3, verse 16 , or is that simply everybody's ingenuity?

How did they know?

Also, I wonder what happens when I click on the "dont click this option" option.

Mario RPG was the RPG that got me into RPGs. My parents pointed it out in the mall one day and I got it for my birthday right as it came out. I loved, loved, Mario RPG.

Then Nintendo made Paper Mario, and I cried.
