Some mention Star Fox as impressive. It’s really only impressive for the hardware it released on and not for the year it released. Daytona USA also came out in 1993. That is far more impressive, could almost pass for an early DreamCast game

The Model 2 arcade board cost $15,000, it would be shameful if the games didn't look graphically ahead of a $200 console. The cost ratio is literally 75:1.

It was impressive for a home console game period, whether SNES or otherwise.

I realized I mixed up the years, Daytona USA was 1994, but Ridge Racer was 1993 and looked almost as good.
Star Fox was impressive for a SNES game or any game for a 1990 home console or computer, in 1993 the 3DO and Jaguar released and had games with more impressive 3D graphics from day one. But when I look at what pushed video game technology forward during that era (1972-1994) I would mainly look at the arcade.
