Despite the IIGS's speed, there were some really awesome games
available for it.
-Task Force: Insane "NARC" clone with huge scrolling graphics, tons of
dudes running around on screen, and a huge HELICOPTER that would fly in
and toast you. I think this is the best arcade-style game on the IIGS,
bar none.
-Tunnels of Armageddon: I think this game consisted of a really fast
box-drawing and color-cycling algorithm, but it was brutally fast and
incredibly awesome, faking a 3D world pretty well.
-Out of this World: Aaagh!!! Polygons on the IIGS! How is this
possible? An incredible Amiga (SNES?) port. One of Burger Bill's
finest.
-Wolf3D: This had my jaw on the floor. TEXTURED POLYGONS ON THE IIGS?
How was THIS possible? Sheppy and Burger do it again.
What are some of your favorites? I'd like to dig some of these up.
