@@Bloodreign1 Fun fact, the SNES was designed prior to the Mega Drive. But the superior sprite handling of the Mega Drive puts it above the SNES for action packed games. Take Elemental Master from Technosoft. Yeah the pixel art isn’t up to much on that game, but if you watch a play through and when the big weapons come out, it’s moving giant sprites around all over the place. Really though neither console can match what SNK put out on the NeoGeo but the SMD can closer match the feel of frantic gameplay.

The NES and SNES's CPU is very similar to that of the Commodore 64(a system Manfred Trenz was a veteran programmer on). So if there was anyone who really knew how to put the SNES's CPU to proper use, it was Manfred Trenz. This just proves that the SNES IS more than capable of handling a fast pace run n' gun/Shmup game without any hardware chips inside the cartridge. It's all up to the developer and their way around the hardware. This game would've been released much sooner had Manfred not been told to re-work the game from scratch to incorporate DKC's graphics. It would've been known as Targa; the spiritual successor to the Turrican games. It would've been released possibly in the Summer of 94 had it not been delayed.

This has to be thee most technically stunning game on the SNES, right? I mean, my God, some of the stuff this game is doing on the stock system . . . I don't think there's a single 2D game on Genesis that manages to match what has been achieved here all round, such as in the level with the city where it's pushing three fully overlapping full parallax background layers (sometimes it even looks like it's using the full four background layers, such as for the end-level boss that appears on top of all the city backgrounds for example), plus line scrolling, with a crap load of enemies and explosions and the like, moving at blistering speed, all full screen (no black bars), at a solid 60fps, and with no slowdown whatsoever. And, to cap it all off, this is running on the stock SNES entirely in its slower "SlowROM" mode at 2.68 MHz (normal mode is 3.58 MHz, which is roughly 30% faster), so it's not even utilizing the stock SNES' full power. It's just like--wow! If this had been released in Europe back in the day, it would have blown people's minds. I'm just in pure awe.

[@Gambit771]

The background in stage 7 is impressive as is the lack of slowdown.

[@G.L.999]

I know your comment is months old, but the trick that was used to get the game running with no slowdown had similar coding that was used on the 3DS version of Smash 4. In Smash 4 your character would run at 60 fps while the Assist Trophies, Pokemon and Stage and background ran at 30fps to keep with the CPU's consistency. The same is said here. Your character and projectiles run at 30fps while the enemies and background run at 10 to 15 fps in order for less strain being put on the CPU in this case. No enhancement chips needed for this game. Just the game and the console that it runs on.

[@felidiusz]

In walking sections you can feel its the same guy, who made Turrican, but flying ones are new and great addition to the formula. Stages 7 and 9 look awesome in my opinion!

[@BecauseBecause]

Turrican 2 introduced spaceship levels on both Trenz's C64 version and Factor 5's Amiga version, so it's actually more Turrican design.

[@inceptional]

It's crazy that this SNES game has so much fast-paced action going on with no slowdown or stutter whatsoever, especially when you consider it's stuck running in SlowROM at a paltry 2.68 MHz and only 75% of the system's full CPU speed. I mean, check out some of these shmup sections for example: 12:14 and 19:40 and 22:52 and 47:13 This game is running on a SNES console with the CPU artificially throttled down to a speed that's a whopping 70% slower than the Genesis 7.68 MHz CPU and 30% slower than even the Master System's 3.58 MHz CPU.

@@maxwelseven I didn't know it could affect different areas of a single Mode 7 background to this effect, that you can basically layer it on itself and scale two parts in exact opposites and so on. If this is case then why don't a crap load more SNES games do this? All I've seen is a single layer manipulated to rotate/scale/skew a single track, or a single boss character, or a single logo, and the like. But if it can do this then it could clearly do a crap load more stuff that we've just never seen in 99.99% of SNES games. :-o

​@@inceptional Yeah, that's kinda rare. Mode 7 multiplayer racing games also does that, just having a black bar between both screens. But there are some cool effects, like the cloud level in Treasure Conflix. Looks like 2 overlaping layers in Mode 7, but is just that same HDMA trick, but in every other scanline.

Great game. I wish some fan project will once convert Rendering Ranger for the Amiga. It is like the "Turrican 4" Amiga fans always wanted but never got. An AGA Amiga with a 68030 turbo board and at least 8 MB extra RAM should be able to run this game without any problems. We had similar 2D-shooter levels in space with XL-size enemies, asteroids and weapon fire FX in "Project X" running fluently on an A500 with 1 MB extra RAM.

[@inceptional]

I wish they'd done this in a pixel art style more like Contra III or Gynoug than something like Donkey Kong Country because this is a very impressive game technically but I'm just not as big a fan of this "realistic" rendered style of visuals in old 2D pixel games. Proper sprite art drawn by hand and made to look like clean sprite art just looks much better imo.

Dreadful amateur-hour music (the boss music is literally a 10 second loop). Poor art direction where everything looks gray, bland, and unappealing. Levels are waaaaay too long, drawn out, and repetitive. They needed to cut these down in half and have way more variety. Every single aspect overstays its welcome x10. Typical stiff eurojank controls/camera movement. I absolutely don’t see what’s great beyond the insane amount of bullets it puts on screen without slowdown. It takes more than that to make a great game.

This game is pure trash, unplayable. Manfred was not in a good place in this one.
