I guess this is all relative. Personally, I found those games to be a
bit choppy running on the Genny hardware. Eventually, an add-on did
come out and I was much more pleased with the 32X version of After
Burner II. I never got a chance to see Space Harrier and it's just
too bad Outrun was never made for it.
SNES mode 7 did impress me with games like Pilot Wings and F-Zero
which worked really well. However, I don't believe that particular
hardware feature would have necessarily resulted in better ports. For
example, some racing games didn't seem to utilize that ability too
effectively and I found them to be equally choppy.
