Shmeh. I thought After Burner 2 and Outrun turned out all right. With
SNES, you had parties cramming "Mode 7" down our throats like it was the
greatest gaming innovation since playing games at home. I remember
especially that Mode 7 level levels in the Super Star Wars trilogy were
craptacular. Stuff gets spun around, and as you get closer to it, it just
gets pixely. Woohoo for technology. It was also used excessively, and
didn't add much to the game (Super Mario World, Act Raiser, the intro of
one
of the Final Fight games.).
