Mega Drive/Genesis - Direct RGB Color: Chilly Willy's Direct Color DMA Demo v4 Wolf 3D
For more information view the Sega-16 thread below.
Quote from Chilly Willy:
"This is a thread for demos of the "new" video mode using DMA to generate a direct color RGB display on the MD. For details on how it works, you might read the long thread over at SpritesMind. In the meantime, devs like yours truely will post some examples here. This first example is a simple raycast engine like used in Wolf3D. It draws a simple level using a few W3D textures. You move around using the d-pad, and A and C strafe left/right. That's all this does at the moment. ... And now with collision detection! No more walking through walls, but you do slide along them nicely when at an angle. I also made sure every area in the map can be reached... which is good since you can't reach them by walking through the walls anymore. "

Mega Drive/Genesis - Software 3D Rendering: Stef's StarFox Demo
Captured from real hardware: Sega Genesis model 1.
Normal Clock at start, 12Mhz after first pause, 10Mhz after second pause. The switch back to 12Mhz locked the game after that.
The demo is running only on Genesis hardware with no helper chips like the SVP. Currently it is in H32 mode, which is 256x224 resolution cut down to 256x160. Compare that to the SNES original 256x224 cut to 224x190.

Game Lists
2D Games with foreground parallax - Standard Definition
This is a list of 2D games for standard definition home systems with foreground parallax, which can be obtained by using an extra foreground layer (hardware support) or an additional pseudo-layer (software implementation).
The foreground parallax can be used to improve the depth sensation in side scrolling games as well as to provide in game fullscreen graphical effects without pausing the gameplay. Some other uses are also possible but less common.
Special thanks to the Sega-16 members goldenband, sheath, NeoVamp, Lync, Zebbe, Bottino, midnightrider, cowboyscowboys, Black_Tiger, TmEE, Foxysen, The Coop, Silence The Fallen, Guntz, LongAnimals, j_factor and Christuserloeser for contributing to the Mega Drive/Genesis list.

Games with Widescreen support - Standard Definition
This is a list of games with widescreen (16:9) video output support in the 5th generation of game consoles or earlier. Only pre-6th generation games will be listed to present console games released before widescreen TVs and monitors were common.
The vast majority of these games use the anamorphic 16:9 format as their widescreen modes. So you'll need to set your TV/monitor to stretch the image to full screen to get your game to display correctly. Some games, though, were letterboxed in widescreen; so in such cases you'll need to set your TV/monitor to crop or zoom the image in order to get full widescreen video output.
