Having thought about it, I can see the reason for the wood furniture; it's a hardware limitation. The N64's texture cache is 4 kilobytes [that's the size of four of this board's smilies; less than four for some] which means stupid economies have to be made; Mario N64 did it by flat-shading a lot of surfaces, Turok did it with aggressive distance masking, Goldeneye by sharing textures between the weapons and the levels; almost every level has a large number of items made of wood in it. It's certainly hard to tell what these older games are trying to do, though, and even harder if you don't know what the intent behind them is. Case in point, can you tell me what aircraft this is? Oh, also: Quote:

A EF-2000 Typhoon with two stabilizer fins instead of one.

I have NO idea what kind of airplane that is.
I think Dongs certainly has caused enough havoc for one lifetime, perhaps he should be drawn and quartered. The old N64 shooters are pretty poor looking, probably the best was TWINE, but even so... |

So you are Dongs! I figured so but I thought I'd sound stupid if I asked. Wow, people have been dissing you without even knowning it. Hell, even I mocked the name "dongs".

Just to answer this since nobody got it, that plane? It's an F-22. Thing is, you've no way to know that unless you're familiar with what the dev team was doing; see, F-29 Retaliator there was made in 1989 before any F-22 had ever actually been flown, so that plane is based on this piece of concept art:
The game was supposed to be called F-22 Retaliator, but was mis-announced. And it is kinda odd that the result ended up looking like a MiG 1.44. As another note, it's amazing how far flying games have come since I first played F-29 on our old Commodore Amiga. Click for a bigger [much, much bigger] version: |

Well, some guy calling himself 'Den Mother' seems to have decided it's a KSVK again and keeps adding it to the article. Um, great.

Personally I don't get what there's left to argue about, this game is dead anyway.

I think that article should be deleted as most of the firearms there are generic and not really based on real world weaponry.
