This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

IMO, that's all a part of the Rare+Nintendo hype at the time. Killer Instinct was in the same campaign for these pre-rendered 3D graphics as the wave of the future. Don't forget, they had to go toe-to-toe with Sony's Playstationat that time, so bringing anything that looked like real 3D on a SNES was kind of a big deal.

Killer Instinct was one of the flagship titles for the Ultra 64, running on next Gen hardware in the arcade. The SNES version was basically a demake to get a 64 bit game to run on 16 bit hardware, which is a pretty big technical marvel if you ask me.

Still have my OG Black cartridge!
