    I know that Yoshi's Island: Super Mario World 2 used the FX chip. Don't know of any others off the top of my head though.

    I believe there is a difference between the FX chip and other add-on hardware acceleration. The FX chip games (which I tried to collect even as a kid) are, I think, as follows:

    Dirt Trax FX
    Star Fox
    Stunt Race FX (freaking awesome game)
    Vortex

    But, many other games had other types of hardware acceleration:
    Megaman X2 (remember the 3-D wireframe sword )
    Megaman X3
    Yoshi's Island
    ... are indeed some examples.

    My question, why the hell does a game like PGA European Tour have a hardware acceleration add on?

    EDIT: I've been informed that Doom did indeed use the FX chip

    Read the linked article above. It explains the all various different chips and which games used them.

    I wish ALL of the SNES golf games had it. It makes the "greenery" load faster.

    I don't think the chip can only do "3d" games it can render 2d as well. I could be wrong but it makes sense to me.

    There are a few more snes titles that have the FX chip, But they are PAL / UK games, i'm sure someone here should have a list, i think there are 3 PAL games that use the FX chip, but these games never got a release in the US.

    I think i might even have these games lying around? will have to have alittle look around!

    Yes, I believe my mistake had been previously and more politely alluded to in the previous post, might I recomend that you hydr0x look to the previous post before posting redundent advice.

    EDIT: also, as far as being false, I did qualify my response with "I believe" and "I think"
