Who woulda thought?

It was on the NES. I know, as I had (and still own) a NES and a copy of starfox.

[Tom Flapwell]

No way. I distinctly remember playing a game simply called Star Fox on the SNES. It was advertised as the first game powered by the Super FX microchip, which let it simulate 3D better than most 16-bit games. The 8-bit NES could not handle plane simulations except with an "overhead" view.

Also, I think Wikipedia wouldn't have made that obvious a mistake.

Starfox was first mentioned in an early draft of Shakespeare's 'Hamlet', so you're all wrong.

[Ibun]

"Because the trademark hadn't been filed in the United States, Nintendo was able to release the popular Star Fox game in 1993 on the SNES with no problems. However, when it came to the European release, the game was renamed Starwing. The problem had not been resolved in time for the 1997 release of Star Fox 64 either, being renamed Lylat Wars in Europe."

StarFox = CONFUSING BUSINESS

[Rievan]

Foxes are awesome! If you do not think that then I cannot tell what you are doing here...

[Arloest]

I think foxes are DUMB.

[TyVulpine]

I think the original star fox was on the SNES. Y'know, the one sadly bereft of a Z button? Its peers made fun of it each and every day until the SNES couldn't take it anymore and shot itself in the graphics chip.

Yes, the original Fox McCloud game was on the SNES. Then the remake on the N64. But what I never understood, Star Fox is supposed to be a crack team of ace pilots, yet in the games, you're (Fox) always saving their tails. They get themselves into predicaments that no ace pilot would.

StarFox is so unrealistic.

And so is Tetris.

Da [moderated for profanity]?

*Baconsticks does a double take.*

It plays on my nes... ?

[Bocaj Claw]

Its all relative guys. Nobody else on Lylat can even manage to fly a kite so that makes the Star Fox team crack pilots.

Pics or it didn't happen.

i shall point to Flight Simulator 2 and Ace of Aces as games that the 8 bit commodore 64 could handle just fine, though it did have significantly more ram...

YOU TAKE THAT BACK WOMAN!
