Posted by exodus on June 05, 2020 at 13:41:03 EST in reply to There has to be some cult of GBA school out there that fixates on "what could the full power of the GBA really do?" like how people talk about how to make the PCE Arcade Card not useless. Those people, you'd think, would be really into Stuntman (GBA) because it really is pretty impressive. Sadly its not a cute 2D redux of the overdone PS2 game but instead it itself is also overdone. Fully polygonal and all that shit with sorta decent physics. Its basically a AAA PS1 game...so rough nobody can stand to look at it anymore...except I think we were already getting into that phase even when this game was new. IIRC Crazy Taxi is the closest thing to it graphics-wise. BTW I prefer this to the "real" versions. The pace of the menues and tutorials and stuff is way less frustrating. (n/t) from SignOfZeta.
nowadays you can find some of that "what could it really do" kind of stuff on youtube - one that often gets mentioned is Smashing Drive. Also there was an asterix and obelisk 3D platformer!
smashing drive, framerate aside, is quite impressive.
