Anyone still impressed by any 8 or 16 bit graphics? With all the new technology I wonder if anyone appreciates the graphics of older games. Often I hear them reffered to as dated or only good for the time, but some games look great to the day still.
Some SNES games that still look beautiful:
Final Fantasy 3/6
Chrono Trigger
Donkey Kong Country
Actually alot of the SNES rpg's and action rpgs look great.
Some 8-bit games still look good, like the Jungle Book. Aladdin and the Lion King on the Genesis are still stunning. I love the simple beauty in many of the games on the 16-bit consoles. The sheer amount of colors in some SNES games still makes my jaw drop.
I still think 8 and 16 bit games look better than any 3D game these days.
Yes, absolutely. There are several games from this era that I still look at and marvel at their beauty.
Some of those games are:
Pulseman
Sonic 1, 2, 3, S&K, Sonic CD, etc
Alex Kidd in Miracle World
Most Wonderboy games
Fantasy Zone series
Landstalker
Sonic still look impressive to me
The graphics in '70's games like Asteroids impress me.
I'm still amazed at what Konami pulled off with Castlevaina 3 in terms of graphics, music and length on the NES. I still love the graphics of Super Ghouls and Ghosts on the SNES (especially the ice level).
Link to the Past still looks great to me.
Shooters aside, SMW, SMW2: YI, Super Metroid, DKC series, Sonic, Alex Kidd in Miracle World, and Psycho Fox all still look just as good to me now as they did back then. :)
A solid looking will always remain so. That said, the intro to FFVI is still gorgeous, and will most likely always remain so. The walking through the snow part is amazing.
