X / NesGlider (SNES)

Many years ago, time sure flies, drx at hidden-palace released the prototype by Argonaut Software of X (aka Lunar Chase or Eclipse) for SNES which I believe is the NesGlider ported to SNES Jez San often talks about (the demos are dated back to May 1991).

3D performances weren't good enough on a stock SNES so Nintendo accepted to invest a million into the creation of the Super FX chip.
Star Fox was then developed and became the first polygonal-based console game to sell many million units.
The rest is history.

For those that never seen it in motion I made a video:

EDIT:
Argh forgot the SNES icon.

 

Is the binary available for this?

You got contact with the original devs?

 

Lunar Chase was the name choosed by Dylan Cuthbert from Argonaut to X, Game Boy, on the development stage.

Quite fun game, i played a lot. Dont know about this SNES port.

 

As Celine said, drx did release this on Hidden Palace years ago - http://www.hidden-palace.org/?releases/console/3 - but the downloads on the site are dead. It's probably found its way into ROM sets by this point, tho, or that's what I'm guessing...

 

DRX released these demos years ago.

The bottom demo that "not emulated by any emulator" is actually a Game Boy demo of X, not the SNES.

 

BTW I can't find anymore on YT the very brief footage of FX Fighter running on SNES at a Shoshinkai show (was it 94 or 95?).

Did someone save it?

EDIT:
Of course, as I've said in the OP, drx released the demos many years ago.
Basically I started the thread just to show the video I did to those that never had the chance to see it.

 

To me, it seems like only yesterday this was released...

After seeing this, I wanted 2 play it again also,

Here's the pack of all 3 for anyone who can't find it...

I knew it, I knew it, I knew it!! I have seen FX Fighter actually running on the SFC / SNES at one ETC show in London back in '95. It was at the Electro Brain booth so I guess they were the ones who were going to release it in the UK. I've said a million times that I saw it running on a SNES but everyone always said I was mistaken. So many people that I started to believe them. Now I finally know I was not and did see it.

 

Next time show them this pic (it's from the video I mentioned):



Mind you it was very brief footage.

 

Yep, that's what I saw

 

In the beginning they wanted a port of Starglider or Starglider 2.

 

Since this forum doesn't have a "code" tag.

 

A Eurogamer article talks about that, and about a VR system they were working on with Nintendo that I had not heard of before:
