I own three SNES games that use the SFX chip: Starfox, Stunt Race FX and Yoshi's Island (SFX chip used for sprite rotation and 3D objects, such as doors that fell towards the screen). There was to be a Stunt Race FX 2 game, but I believe it was cancelled and never released. The Megadrive had a few games too, with the SVP (Sega Virtua Processor) chip: Virtua Fighter (I think?), Virtua Racing (definately) and Vectorman (I think?).
