I thought this would be an interesting little comparison - Sega's Galaxy Force from 1988 (arcade screenshots) and Hudson Soft's Battle Ace from 1989 for the NEC SuperGrafx, the graphically more powerful version of the PC-Engine / TurboGrafx-16, released only in Japan.







I recall at the time, having high hopes for the SuperGrafx. For those who are old enough and who followed the early 16-bit system market, we always refer to the system as ill-fated. It was. But it was also very much a rushed launch in Japan. November 1989, with one game along side it, Battle Ace. There wouldn't be another SuperGrafx game out in Japan until April 90.

Galaxy Force II itself, was apparently in the works for SuperGrafx but canceled.

Here is the actual Megadrive-Genesis version: http://i.imgur.com/Q9KpEp8.jpg http://i.imgur.com/IBz6cz1.jpg
