It’s a tour de force of development, and it’s astounding to look behind the curtain to see just what can be achieved. There are palette hacks to produce high-quality greyscale images, rendering tips to produce the smooth 3D rendered sequences, as well as optimizations to create the best possible sample playback using the onboard YM2612 sound chip. There’s plenty of juicy reading material here.
, and have laid their secrets bare in a technical document, describing in explicit detail how it’s all achieved. It’s quite a feat to pull this off with the limited resources of the Genesis platform. The demo features full motion video and an impressive 3D sequence. The Red Eyes demo is a great example of what can be done when pushing the Genesis hardware to the limits.
