The TV-Game 6 was a console in collaboration with Mitsubishi, which consisted of 6 different versions of 'tennis', known to the rest of thw world as 'pong'.
They also made the TV-Game 15, which had *surprise* 15 games.
THEN came the Game + Watch.
Now where's MY prize?

I knew about Iggy, but that was it. I believe he was the one that rolled around on the ball.

Citadel, Star Fox, Stunt Race FX, Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, and...oh crap, there was some bike racing game, but I can't remember the title now.

I believe they were called hanafuda, but I think that just means "Japanese playing cards." Was it something like "matching flowers?" Dates back to 1889.
Nintendo did make Disney playing cards back in 1959, though.

Well, Shigeru Miyamoto is a god, so he's infinitely old...
I think Old Man Yamauchi is in his early 70s... but damn, evil question!

here is what you listed: Citadel, Star Fox, Stunt Race FX, Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, and...oh crap, there was some bike racing game, but I can't remember the title now. All I remember is that it used sprites on 3-D backgrounds.
that makes 4....now there is Doom for snes that uses the fx chip as well....
and the bike racer you're thinking of was Dirt Trax Fx! when this game was previewed in
Nintendo Power back in the early 90s, I was watching this game like a hawk...
the graphics were simply amazing IHO, and the game looked like it would play like a dream...
so I waited and waited YEARS for this game, and after waiting so long I just about forgot about the game
until one day my friend picked in up in bargain bin at kbtoys...and I finally got to play it
it was just as I thought it might be....awesome in all aspects! - graphics, gameplay, multiplayer xtras, etc
so citadel, starfox, stunt race fx, super mario world 2:yoshis island, doom, and dirt trax fx!
if anyone knows any more games that used the fx/fx 2 chip...feel free to post it up

Post by: joeamis on May 08, 2003, 05:02:34 PM
the ones i was looking forward to the most back in the day....
starfox 2 became starfox 64, comanche died entirely (the pc versions series started earlier), and fx fighter was released for the PC...it was an okay fighter for its time... however i can remember the gameplay being slow and cumbersome to control.
i can't believe SFA2 used the fx chip wow... and i've never seen transformers released anywhere, how is it, is it any good?
i wonder what the fx chips really did? does anyone know? was it just like the expansion pack for nintendo 64...simply more memory? i mean they could've probably just released something (like the expansion pack for n64) but then again how well would that have flied in the console era of the early 90s... and i think when they made starfox they didn't take into account that many other games would use the fx chip, so they just threw it in the cartridge itself... does anyone know??
edit*** Streetfighter Alpha 2 using the Fx chip makes me think it simply was just extra memory because they needed it for all the frames of animation, but then you think to yourself... they could've just made a larger megabit cartridge so that really makes my thought of the fx chip being for memory completely wrong...damn
Post by: Myxtika1 Azn on May 09, 2003, 10:08:49 PM
As for what the SFX chip might be, I read somewhere that the cartridge contains a reduced/simplified version of the SNES cpu. I'm not sure if that's true though. The SFX-2 games just has two SFX chips inside the cartridge.
I'm not sure if that all made sense, but it's late, so oh wellz....
Later!
