This is the SNES version of Earthworm Jim, featuring Lens Flare in 1994:
This is not a static picture of the effect, the sun is on a different layer and the lens flare fades away slowly if something blocks it, like those rocks in the front layer.
Genesis version was the original but that didn't have this effect. The first game on Genesis that had something similar (and even more impressive) was Vectorman but that was in 1995.
I think that's the first time this effect appeared but correct me if i'm wrong.
So what about other effects like bloom, chromatic aberration, texture mapping, field of view, film grain, reflections, bump mapping, etc... What games had such effects for the first time?
