@Rocky54167 I basically meant 1994-1996 level 3D polygonal graphics. I mentioned the Saturn because Saturn games like Daytona USA and Tekken were what first came to mind.

@Rocky54167 I was mentioning it from the point of early 3D games' graphics not aging all that well. Just look at Super Mario 64 or Final Fantasy VII today and you'll know what I mean, and then regress back to the Sega Saturn and...ouch.

@Rocky54167 *spoiler warning for obscure Discovery Channel special*
Yeah, remember how the Sailfish lost to the Sailfin Dragon in the swimming race because the latter "cheated" and went basilisk on the competition (aka jumped out of the water and ran on it instead of swimming)?
And I just realized that both racing events in that show were won by lizards (Collard Lizard narrowly beat the Tiger Beetle by a split second to win the 100m dash).

@PredatorBrendan would you like me.to make a videos with those?
I don't like any of the narrators as much as the 3D Dinosaur Adventure one, but it's pretty cool how narrators changed based on the article (for instance, a slow reader for the snail and some high-class sounding woman for the train).

That page about the Sailfish reminded me of "Animal Games" (an hour-long Discovery Channel special back in 2004 which was effectively the Olympics with animals, albeit animals scaled to human size - which means silly stuff like giant cockroaches, fleas, maggots, and bushbabies, and human-sized elephants - and which produced a 2006 sequel titled "Animal Winter Games").

The graphics are definitely ahead of the SNES's 3D capabilities, but they look very Sega Saturn-like, which isn't good (and it makes me miss The Wind Waker's art style even more, argh).

@LinkMarioSamus Sega Saturn wasn't a bad system just got burtchered in the USA Because of dumb management
