your pretty good at that game,
that landscape is actually a hightmap rendering.
pre-rendered as a backdrop video of course.
had incredible graphics for its time,
Was this game ever remade for other systems?

@null1023, think about it. You've got full-screen VGA images being arranged into an animation. it would be too taxing on the Sega CD hardware to render pre-rendered background video at 24 or 30 frames per second.

@null1023 even video playback could not be done full screen on the genesis... look up "sewer shark" footage...
-
That part in the music at the end that starts at 1:15 is like the catchiest shit ever. When I was 12 I listened to it over and over

Maybe my eyes are bad, but to me the graphics are really good. I guess you have to squint and keep staring and not look away.

Because on this level there's more video detail on-screen (in the shading in the mountains). Whereas with the other levels in Silpheed, there's lots of blackness of space, or big areas of solid color, etc. and thus less actual detail that the system had to worry about actively reading from disk and displaying (so the frame rate is tighter). Sega CD was actually pretty poor with FMV, but the clever styling in Silpheed made the experience technologically possible as a full-screen FMV game.

yeah this blew me away in 1993

ah good ol stage 10, I loved this stage, the music rocked
-
because its 1993. Pretty impressive for the time

Say... if the background is pre-rendered, why is it so jerky?
Can you up Stage 11? That stage had good music imo.

I'm in Korea now, so I won't be able to upload Stage 11 for a while. I agree, it had good music!
