Well, he had decent points. Especially the second time. Is the word "sprites" not in the thread's title?

Anyway, I'll have to go with Outrun as my first pick. I suspect I'd like OutRunners as well, but have never had a chance to really check it out.

Outrunners was all about the multiplayer. The Solo action wasn't nearly as good.

I'm ashamed to say I've actually never played Turbo Outrun

Would you consider DOOM to be a Sprite-Scaler? Considering DOOM 64 was the first DOOM thats actually created in 3D.

Space Harrier rocks the socks of the all the dudes at the docks.

Doom has sprite scaling abviously, but it's not the basis of it's graphics. I call it a raycaster, since that's the core of the engine, but whatever. Close enough. It's got sprites that scale, and no polygons.

2) Power Drift- Probably the best graphics in a Sega sprite scaler game. The game play has a true 3D feel to it as you go up and down steep hills. Those with weaker stomachs may want to take some Dramamine for this one.

I agree. It's a very impressive game graphically.

I don't remember seeing anything about Night Striker, so I'll throw that in there, too.

It saddens me that no one has mentioned Panorama Cotton.

I would have, but I'm being anal about what I call sprite scaling

Great game though.
