If you were blown away by the graphical fidelity of the Super FX-Chip as seen in Star Fox, you ain't seen nothin' yet! Sega revealed their answer to the vulpine pilot at CES with Silpheed, an arcade-like spaceship shooter the likes of which we have yet to see on a home console. The plot remains largely under-wraps, but you can bet there's a bunch of dangerous, polygonal baddies that need dealing with.
Like other beloved titles in the genre, the player will have access to a myriad of power-ups and missiles which will lighten the load, but the true star of the show is undoubtedly the spectacular 3-D graphics. Over mountainous lands, in battleship-filled outer space, and in futuristic city corridors, the Sega-CD will show off its might with realistic environments - all in glorious 20 frames per second! We can't wait for more
