They even created an ad that featured scratch and sniff stickers. The scents kept you guessing, but it sadly wasn’t enough to lure in people.

Stunt Race FX

March 31st, 2012 No comments

It’s 1994 and Stunt Race FX has raced to the Super Nintendo System. Stunt Race FX was the first racer to feature 3D polygons that were amazing at its time. Thanks to the Super Fx chip, these graphics were able to be displayed on the Super Nintendo 16-bit system. Star Fox was an excellent game that also used the chip. Is this game as good or is it only about graphics. Find out more in the review!
