The reason why PC graphics are so horrible is the sloppinest of the programers. You'll find that some games for the PC are starting to set the standard of how games can be programmed (take a look at Maximum Overkill, SNES can't even try to make something that looks that good, but then, that needs memory, at least 4 megs to run). Also, SNES has a good graphics chip inside, while PC's have to basicly rely on emulators to do most of the graphics movements. Though with a good computer, there doesn't exist that much of a problem. As 386 is now the standard for good software, expect better games to be programmed.
