- While Sega enjoyed significant success with games developed for it’s System 16 hardware platform, Shinobi and Golden Axe were far from the most sophisticated games on the block.
That honour is reserved for games comprising Sega’s high-end, Super Scaler series of arcade titles, games which made extensive use of 2D sprites to create 3D-like effects and environments.
Originally conceived and developed by programmer and producer Yu Suzuki, these games proved to be so advanced that no home console of the day had the power to recreate the experience of these custom boards.
Why use sprites in such fashion? Well, true 3D rendering required significant processing power to achieve even the most basic of wire-frame constructs, especially given the tools and software available in the mid 80s. The super scaler technology is, in some respects, an ingenious solution - cheat even - to the problem of creating convincing 3D in a world that wasn’t quite ready for it.
This video covers the best arcade games in the use of Sega's super scaler technology. A game curation showcasing the capabilities of each iteration of Sega's innovative pseudo-3D technology
In this video you will find:
• A game curation with featuring the best looking Sega Super Scaler Games
• Information related to each game such as release date, developer company, game genre and system it was released on.
• Official game box arts with a 3D presentation.
• Educative and/or critical comments on the importance of the video game and why you should play it

⚠️ All gameplay recording, game curation and opinions included in this video, as well as editing is completely done by me
Bits & Beats creates videos about the history of video games. In this channel you'll find comparisons, retrospectives, technical analysis, but, mostly, game curations with the idea of having an important task of preserving video games, and make them relevant to society at large.
Curation isn't just about digging up neat games, but it's also about preservation, interpretation, and using one's knowledge to make it relevant to people. With my videos I want older gamers to look back and remember the influence of video games on their lives, and new gamers to understand the larger context of the series they're playing for the first time today.
I put significant time and creative effort into each one of my videos, including research, digging into archives, playing video games and recording hours of footage, selecting specific clips, writing reviews for each title, and making a very careful video editing in the way to transmit both educational and entertaining values to my audience. Every video takes a lot of hours to produce, because I strive to give my audience a consistent, high-quality content.
Fidelity and preservation of the video games is essential in Bits & Beats, so the recordings are made with the highest bitrate quality. It is done this way to preserve original game look and sound through modern footage, with no superfluous additions. I recommend you watch the video at 4K and 60 frames per second to get the best possible viewing experience.
I hope you enjoy my videos and find them useful!

These games were so immersive to me....as a kid. It's easy to look at these as outdated since they are, but for the time this was state of the art. I put a lot of tokens/quarters in many of these growing up.
All of these games still look great to this day.
Specially with CRT filters
Idk if super scalar games can be considered a genre, but they definitely are my favorite style of game even all these years later
Great upload. I love how these old Sega games look, so surreal and captivating to behold even to this day
Absolutely 💯 awesome happy 4th of July to you and everyone in this awesome lobby 🇱🇷😎👍
I consider Sega's Super Scaler games to be among the most beautiful games ever created, with Power Drift, After Burner, and Galaxy Force being notable standouts.
Wow. I never remember seeing A.B. Cop. I have to check that out in MAME. So glad I saw this. I had also forgotten about that cabal-like game.
Thanks for the video. I Love Sega´s Super Scaler games. Have Space Harrier und After Burner 2 on the 32X and many more on the Nintendo 3DS as Thunder Blade, power drift or Galaxy Force II..... really cool games. 👍
You had me at the thumbnail. Sega Super-scalers all day! Happy 4th all!
La gran SEGA de finales de los 80 y principios de los 90. Qué época tan sorprendente en cuanto a juegos desarrollados por esta compañía. Ver y jugar a estos juegos en su momento era una experiencia descomunal. Todos estos videojuegos nos hicieron soñar literalmente con los ojos abiertos cuando éramos niños. Una época de juegos imborrable.
Muchas gracias por traer estos juegos de antaño, por personas como vos estos clasicos nunca se olvidaran
Muchas gracias a ti por tu visionado! De los comentarios más bonitos que he recibido
So much great games
GP Rider looked amazing. Those giant sprites and scaling were top notch.
The rear tire of the bike on GP Rider gave me weird bad feelings lol
Excelente video y que buena lista.
Charming graphics!
Gotta say that the arcade version of OutRun still looks good, but the Genesis port looks serviceable at best. Great video btw, keep up the good work!
Sega was the mighty master of sprite zooming and rotation, no one came even close back then.
My favorites are Space Harrier and Galaxy Force. People forget how amazing Sega Arcade games were.
Make sure you play Total Carnage today ( It is very patriotic! 😉 )
Hola que tal... Veamos que tenemos hoy:
Siempre recordaré el lugar que me llevaba mi mamá y lo mucho que outrun me encantó pero la primera vez me mareo un poco al sentirlo demasiado rápido, siempre me daba risa cuando chocaban y daban vuelta los ocupantes no sé porque, hasta la fecha me parece gracioso xDDDD
Ese Arabian fight me gustó aunque recuerdo los pixeles más pequeños 🤔🤔🤔🤔 será otro juego o me he confundido un poco.
Dragón ball z no lo conocía D: definitivamente se aprende algo nuevo de ti.
Respeto a After runner, la primera vez que lo ví fue en terminator 2, cuando Jhon Connor estaba jugandolo en el centro de las maquinitas, siempre quise jugarlo y por años me quebré la cabeza tratando de recordar el nombre, hasta que un día vino un chico arreglar una computadora a mi casa y nos regaló a mi hermano y a mi un CD con un montón de juegos emulados de Arcade, en una de esas venía este After runner y de inmediato se me vino el recuerdo de la película, creo que tenía como 7 años cuando ví las películas de Terminator.
Siempre quise jugarlo en la caseta (esa era la gracia principal) pero me tuve que conformar con el emulador ☹️☹️☹️☹️
De nuevo gracias por el video, quitaste el icono del vídeo juego al final de tu vídeo?

Cool
You know in the classic arcade game of Hang On I discovered that if you lean to any side you can still make the motorcyclist crash without playing the game.
I have to disagree with you re Turbo outrun..
It is true to say the original is a objectively better playing game with more inuitive handling, and branching paths, but Turbo's sprite-tile assets are more detailed with the game being a sequel, and with a more advanced use of color also.
If the position of the F-40 and the oncoming road was more visible like O.G Outrun, with a few tweaks it could've been a much better game, although it did introduce the titular use of a Turbo, Car upgrades, and the awesome rival system reused in Outrun 2, and lastly like O.G has a fantastic soundtrack.
Cool video despite my quibble.
Cheers.
Last Survivor on X board is also a great game which is not mentioned
hohoh cool ✌✌
Great vid! How about a video featuring a game curation of the worst looking Sega Super Scaler Games? 😃
You forgot Racing Hero by Sega which was released in 1989. It is also in Pseudo 3D.
What do you mean with "the sprite/texture manipulation engine anticipated FPS ray-casting graphics" in Line of Fire? I don't see any kind of light processing in the game.
Missing Cool Riders (outrunners 2)
Missing Rail Chase and Jurassic Park.
👍✌️👌
why there's no galaxy force 1 for the arcades?
Dark Edge has one of the weirdest controls I've seen in a fighting game.
Whoever was playing Power Drift was stuck in low gear!
Compare games to the Sega master system and sega mega drive. Mortal combat 3, sonic, Street of Rage 2, Earthworm Jim, Out run and others
I like the idea
Arabian Fight is a hidden gem, and not just for the sexy female lead who can easily hold her own. ^^
When Sega did know what they wanted.
et dire que la plupar de ces jeux peuve etres fait par 1 seul perssonne en quelque semaine .. ct le reve avant
Happy Independence Day everyone!! 💪🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💪
He visto la bandera Sonic
Outruns definitely a classic. First one and Outrunners were good I agree. Turbo was alright. Dark Edge I always felt was more of an almost FPS fighter the way it zoomes in and put where VF was fully 3D in terms of movement. One thing that VF never gets credit for is when people talk full 3d side stepping fluid movement I feel VF was the first 3d fighter to introduce that element but people I've noticed over the years think Tekken started it because of being more popular. I do feel that Dark Edge was the I inspiration for VF for sure and kind of segas more prototype, primitive attempt at 3D then they made VF. Cool vid man.
Why would you show horribly buggy Title Fight footage from MAME instead of from the original PCB? It's so broken in MAME it doesn't even look like the game.
I am aware of what you are saying and you are right. I wish I had access to the PCB, but I could only show original images of the game with the emulated version. Regards
I remember games like Outrun and Afterburner back in the day and thinking the future is now...fast forward to 2022 with games likes Gran Turismo and Forza sooooo the future is now now 😅.....in a perfect world 🌎 we'd get Outrun and Afterburner remade in unreal engine 5 😃
totally wrong, power drift, rad mobile and outrunners has a totally different mechanics that outrun used
So many garbage and no Cool Riders wich magnum opus of super scaler technology and good outrunners sequel, wtf
