the images I am showing you here are mock-up screens of Robotech for
the Nintendo Ultra 64. -- the Ultra 64 was the name of Nintendo 64
back in 1994-1995.
these pictures were published in the July 1995 issue of GameFan
magazine, a popular videogame mag of the mid to late 1990s.
(nevermind the 'edgemagazine' title in the urls, that was just the
name of the photodump account i used)
these images are not real-time at all, they are pre-rendered CGI (or
just CG) images. otherwise known as offline renders, or just renders.
these pre-rendered CGI images are also pre-Crystal Dreams -- that is,
before the N64 game Robotech: Crystal Dreams was shown a year or so
later. Crystal Dreams was an actual real-time videogame for Nintendo64
which was never completed, and ultimately cancelled after many delays.
back in 1995-1996 and even years later, people were just DROOLING over
the above Ultra 64 Robotech renders. even if a game came out today,
with those graphics, it would still be pretty impressive, if running
at a smooth rate.
