Let me explain what i mean with this title cause i couldn't phrase it better
By state of the art, i mean a game that was technically above anything else that was available at the time. So from those games, which one do you think had the biggest gap between it and the next best game? For instance:
Space Harrier (1985) (Arcade)
This was released in arcades in 1985. Just have a look at whatever was released at the time in either home or arcades. This was like science fiction by comparison.
Scud Race (1996) (Arcade)
Look at this game. Look at it. Now imagine playing it in 1996. The Model 3 was the most powerful thing in it's time and IMO there was no better demo than this early Model 3 game. In 1996 the N64 was just released (and about 10 times less powerful than a Model 3) while the PS1/Sat were struggling with downgraded Model 2 or System 22 ports (both less powerful than the Model 3, yet much more powerful than any console at the time). So we are talking about a huge gap here, the Model 3 was a whole generation ahead at least. Even if you had the most expensive gaming PC with those brand new Voodoo cards, at best you could have something like Screamer in GL mode, which was laughable compared to this Model 3 showcase.
