Games
Star Fox
Facing the wrath of the evil Emperor Andross, Fox McCloud and his Star Fox Team take on evil as it threatens to overthrow the Lylat System. Developed by Argonaut Games, Star Fox was released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1993, and was quite bold in breaking technical barriers with the new Super FX chip. The chip simulated three-dimensional graphics, a mind boggling notion since games at the time were typically made in 2-D.
