Welcome! This site is devoted to all things relating to the StarFox video game series, particularly the original Super NES games.

Did you know the Super FX was briefly going to be installed in the ill-fated Super NES CD-ROM accessory? At least until being replaced by a 32-bit CPU instead. There were actually 3 major configurations of this unit before it was cancelled. From Sony to Philips configuration 1 and Philips configuration 2. Why not check out a brief article about the saga and see the old publications?

I greatly enjoyed and recommend the SplashWave Making of StarFox video on youtube. I especially enjoyed them taking time to explain StarFox's audio history and how it uses the Super NES's Mode 2 to combine the framebuffer layer with a background layer.
I meant to do the same thing years ago, and here we are, over 20 years later and I still haven't done that.
StarFox actually uses more than just Mode 2. Someday I should make a quick little walkthrough on the technical details of this game, but I usually keep the tone of this page less technically minded.
Speaking of things I never did with this site, I meant to do a (somewhat more technically minded!) treatise on the 3 flavors of Super NES CD-ROM accessory, as the second one was Super FX-based.
I also rediscovered a personal email from 1999 correspondence with Ben Cheese, back when you could freely distribute email addresses and spam was less of a concern. I never did post any personal emails because that would be rude, but given that his site is gone and he is also no longer with us I suppose in this case we could make an exception.
Modest site updates and clarifications have been trickling in for awhile.

The humor page is updated with a video clip, The Hunt for Red Foxtober. It's all in good fun.
A small tribute to the Super FX Inspired by the Super NES game, Vortex, which also had the Super FX and was programmed by Argonaut. This is a real-time 3D texture-mapped box which you can see if you have a VRML plugin (e.g. Live3D, Webspace, CosmoPlayer). If you don't have one, you can download CosmoPlayer for free.
I have a Triforce from the Legend of Zelda series you can view, too!
