DKC 1 with the SGI prerendered 3d graphics was cutting edge stuff. Vector Man on the Genesis did something similar to less acclaim.

I was a kid right in the target demo for DKC circa 95 or so — 11. That game absolutely blew our socks off. We couldn’t believe what we were seeing. I remember I had a videotape that they sent out (probably a send-away promo from a box of cereal or something) that teased the game around the time of its release and showed some behind the scenes stuff from the game’s development. I definitely watched that tape many times. I didn’t even get to own DKC, but I did get to play it at a friend’s house.
