    Sounds to me that they just made up all that shit and stole the pictures from a Japanese gaming mag. Daytona running at 620 x 244 resolution? Yeah right. The graphic demo on the mode 7 floor was but the actual game never was.

    Funny because it is true, or because you object to it?

    Love how they talk about the "link-up mode" and seven-player multitap. So did they mean 8 players were gonna play on one TV, or through linked-up consoles?

    Thanks for the post. I always enjoy reading how no one had hope in the saturn. Still my fav 2D system.

    I'll have to take another look at that game. What about VF Remix? That seems to look a lot cleaner than the original. Is the whole game running in 704x224 resolution? The option to use a sprite based floor in the remix was also a great idea. I don't know why they didn't do that in the first place with the original game. Surly it would have gave them a few more polygons for each character?
