Hey friends! Today we have an ambitious SNES title... it feels like it kind of wanted to be a Star Fox, but ended up falling a little short.

Star Fox had the same very limited 3D options, but it did SO MUCH MORE with them. It knew the limitations of the system it was on because it was a Nintendo first party project, and that makes a huge difference. It took those bland textures and huge polygons and made it into a style of it's own that is still very memorable to this day.

You can see a lot of the same in this game, but it's a more basic version of it. The polygons are just as huge, but the shapes aren't interesting like they are in Star Fox. They don't look like anything except buildings and pyramids that are inexplicably in the lushest green desert I've ever seen.

All in all, I don't care about this game very much. That's kind of harsh, but thems the breaks. Thanks for stopping by friends!

💛 Squiggs


---[ Wikipedia Information ]---------------

Steel Talons is a 3D arcade game by released by Atari Games in 1991. The player takes on the role of a pilot for an "AT1196 Steel Talons combat helicopter". Steel Talons was ported to the Sega Genesis, Atari Lynx, Atari ST, Atari Falcon, and the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. An Atari Jaguar port was announced and planned but never released.

The helicopter is equipped with a machine gun, rockets, and a limited number of air-to-surface guided missiles. The game came as a two-player cockpit cabinet and featured both cooperative and competitive game play modes. In the single-player mode, there are 19 computer simulated missions. In the two player mode, two players may work together in the simulation world, or they may choose to go at combat with each other where the mission objective is to destroy the other player.

The arcade version has a joystick, and analog collective lever on the left side that controls the altitude of the helicopter, an analog with two buttons, and rudder pedals. The back of the seat had a speaker which would thump when the player took enemy fire. The arcade version has a button called "real heli mode" which make flying much more difficult as the player could drift, but it also allowed much more freedom of movement and could be an advantage during multiplayer games.


---[ Series Information ]---------------

Squiggy's SNES First Level Quest is a series where I attempt to beat the first level of every SNES game. Some will be chosen randomly, some chosen because I liked them when I was younger, and some chosen by viewer request. This isn't necessarily a review or first impression or anything - the only true goal is to first define "What is Level 1 in this game?" and then beat it.
