Hi,

I am looking for the bests 3D games/demo on MSX, the ones that really pushes the msx to its (low...) limits in the 3D. I wonder how many polygons can be handled on a turboR versus MSX2.

I remember playing elite on MSX1 tape and also a msx2 demo with a cube with each face filled.
Other inputs ??

For polygon-based 3D, the VDP is not on your side..

Elite is an old but but very entertaining game , in the space you have to buy/sell/trade/fight,
accomplishin miison : very intersting and there was some 3D with lines.

Well VDP accounts for polygon filling only not 3D calculation , optimzation could be to calculate 3D tranformation while VDP is busy drawing a line of the polygon...

In Elite only sun has filled graphics IIRC...

Some good candidates definately worth to check out:

MSX1: Red Zone
MSX2: http://www.msx.org/Realtime-texturemapped-3D-for-MSX2.newspost2773.html
MSX tR: F-Nano2

@ Leo: Return to Jelda is for MSX2 or higher, but indeed slow and only lines nonetheless.
