They went all out with this one tech wise. High quality pre-rendered graphics with faux 3D perspective for background elements; also included a DOOM-like first person stage that was smooth as hell and 3D racing stage. Easily the most technologically advanced games of the 16-bit era.

Yes. But it's not a good game.

>>11785715
It's decent

>>11785715
I feel like this applies to most Travelers Tales games before they fell into Lego purgatory

Kid me liked these games. That's all that matters.

>>11785712 (OP)
megadrive version yes was smooth specially the doom like stage, snes had more colors but ran like ass.

>>11785771
GEN/MD also had extra levels (the 3D racer stage IIRC)

A B Right A C A Down A B Right A

I never beat the dog chase level at the end because the dog takes up half the screen and it's just tribal and error bullshit

>>11786701
>tribal and error
funny typo

I used to beat this game consistently.
Hardest level was the RC car overhead one

>>11785712 (OP)
It's a dogshit game. Even 7-year-old me who was obsessed with Toy Story thought it was a shit game

>>11785728
Thank you for removing the other 8 panels that repeat the same joke

>>11785712 (OP)
The Doom like stage was only so smooth because the top and bottom halves of the screen are mirrored.

I liked the top down RC car stages the most, I wish there was a whole game like that but there isn't one. (Yes, I know about Micro Machines and Rock & Roll Racing, not the same).

>>11785728
That was Limp Bizkit and WWF, I don't know about that.

YEEHAW!

The race Buzz level music is the best

>>11785724
Why were Euro games all like that?

>>11785724
>Sonic 3D Blast isn't fun to play.
It's good fun and I'm tired of pretending it's not.

>>11785715
I think it's a pretty good licensed game which suffers from Battletoads syndrome. It changes genres very often and it's not as fleshed out as it should.

>>11785712 (OP)
Wasn't this the same developer as Mickey Mania and Mr. Bones? All 3 play very similar and change gimmicks every level.

>an isometric game on a d-pad
dude, how tf is that fun lmao

YOU DON'T WANNA BE IN THE WAY WHEN MY LASER GOES OFF

I like the concept, the music is amazing (especially the Saturn version), but it gives me horrible motion sickness whenever I play it. I think it's because the camera jerks around a lot.

>>11789737
>he doesn't hold the controller rotated 45 degrees in his hands to play isometric games

>>11789747
That shit gave me nightmares as a kid.

>>11785771
I had the gameboy version as a kid. I liked it at the time but tried it on an emulator later on and realized it only ran at like 10fps, and still used the digitized sprites downgraded to about 20 pixels

>>11789737
>>11789754
I never had any issues with it though. It's also surprisingly good on an analog stick, I'm curious to try it on an arcade joystick, seems like it'd feel great.

>>11785712 (OP)
I don't know how they did it, but this is the first game I played where the Sega Genesis version completely and totally mogs the Super Nintendo version. Was it a rushed multiplat port?
Yes, it maddened me that Toy Story 2 has the toys playing a knockoff SNES rather than a Genesis in the movie.

You might like the officially unofficial director's cut. It even got a shoutout in the Sonic Encyclopedia, so you could say it's unofficially official. Lead director made a ROMhack with an enhanced mode that adjusts the camera. The only issue with it I have is the director's cut mode locked the Chaos Emerald collection to one per zone, which is worse than the Saturn version having it per act (since Tails/Knuckles have the same Special Stages in that version), even though you can now unlock Super Sonic.

It's not a ROM hack, he has the source code, he just compiled it.

>>11790568

DX makes Sonic 3D Blast go from a mediocre title to a genuinely good one.

>>11785712 (OP)
that franchise is dead to me because one of the actors has become publicly cringe

>>11785724
i also don't play these games because a cringe bible thumper worked on them and was also shilling a streamed emulation service where each frame of video exceeds the size of the entire ROM

for me, its sega touring car championship, only for SEGA SYSTEM(tm). if only it was on saturn, then maybe sega could have been saved.

Hard game!

>>11790657
I think it should still be classed as ROM hack. Making the distinction based on having the source code opens a can of worms, consider sonic1,2,3 have been fully dissembled and turned back into buildable source code. Most sonic ROM hacks besides the early ones would no longer be ROM hacks.
