So a question I get a lot when showing people my collection is where does a system fit in among others graphically. My brother-in-law yesterday asked about the Master System so I put in Phantasy Star which I think shows off its capabilities. So my question is, if just for demonstration purposes, which game for each system would you show off as the best "looking"?
I'll start with 3
Gamecube - F Zero GX, this game I remember showing off. Silky smooth frame rate and crisp visuals and speed that is still impressive. I remember showing someone one of the unlocked AC tracks that was set in space with planets in the background. Gorgeous.
SNES - Yoshi's Island, pretty safe pick here. Late release with a special chip and all that. Yes, a lot of people don't care for it or at least say they don't, but some of the levels in the swamp definitely have a lot going on for them.
Atari - California Games, I really don't know much about California Games except that it has a different looking white label cartridge and that it was really pretty. It had 3 or so games on it and each of them I remember thinking looked better than whole other games for the system.
