    I can't limit it to just one, so I'll just start wildly naming games at random.

    SNES: Super Castlevania IV, Castlevania: Dracula X, Axelay, Legend of the Mystical Ninja (Ganbare Goemon), Ganbare Goemon 2, Super Mario RPG, Super Turrican 2

    Genesis: Gunstar Heroes, Castlevania: Bloodlines, Contra: Hard Corps, Splatterhouse 3

    ... dammit, I know there's more. I'll edit later, perhaps.
    That's it! Next stop: The Junkyard. Population: You!

    I've only played it in an emulator, but the MD version of Flink looks in certain aspects better than the CD32 original, which is one of my personal favorites graphics-wise :)

    Genesis: Red Zone

    Other than the overhead helicopter view (that rotates when you turn), the multi-layer overhead shooting levels, the full motion video intro is a very impressive sight for a stock Genesis.

    Possibility is infinity! You must be satisfied!

    Name a SNES title that looks better than Wonderboy V: Monster World III, or (especially) Wonderboy VI: Monster World IV. Maybe as good, but better? That'd be something!

    Look at my custom member title. Nothing can compare.

    Yeah...Super Mario RPG uses some pretty ugly color dithering at times. Secret of Mana is indeed primitive. Now Chrono Trigger - if that's what you mean - THAT'S got some good graphics, but blow away the two I mentioned? No; nothing on the SNES I've run into could be said to have a landslide victory over those two, in terms of style and color usage only.

    Didn't the graphics in Toy Story 2 for the Genesis seriously push the system's palette to its limits though in color usage?

    Well did you know that Tales of Phantasia has a MP3 as it theme song and its the BIGGEST cart ever made for the SNES! IMO, its the best game to show off what the SNES can do. Mega Man X3 was also another game that showed off the SNES and its a great game, now we just need an MM X collection for GC, XBOX, and/or PS2. As for the Genesis, i havent played it as much as the SNES, I was impressed with the Splatterhouse series and Castlevania: Bloodlines.

    I second that! This game is pretty awesome for a Genny title... the developers even included a screen at the beginning of the game that details all the advanced programming tecniques they used. Too bad it flashes by so fast!

    Panorama Cotton is another game that has been mentioned that really shows what the Genesis could do, and without built-in scaling and rotation at that! None of the emulators I've tried can play the game correctly.

    I STILL think F-Zero is the best racing game ever made, and I don't think I've said "wow!" like the first time I saw it. Me and my roomie ignored it until we finsihed Mario, but then F-Zero drew us in and didn't let go. I STILL fire it up once in a while...13 years after playing it!

    I though DOOM was damed impressive for a SNES game... same for Stunt Track FX. They may look like ass now, but they were pretty darned impressive for a system with a slow CPU. Those FX chips did some cool stuff. I would have loved to have seen a running version of Comanche (cancelled in part due to pixilated graphics... sniff)

    The Japanese Sonic 1 was a bit more detail in a few levels of the game.

    The first three levels include scrolling clouds

    The Labrynith Zone has wavy underwater effects when you are under water.


    The only way to see these "improvements" is to either hope you get this "ver 2" of Sonic 1 from Japan or get "Sonic Jam" on Saturn
