Many SNES games still look great, but what really impresses me is the music chip. Most of my favorite game soundtracks are from SNES games. That's why it's such a shame that for ported game soundtracks, the GBA can't really do them justice.

I'm still wowed by the intro in the NES Batman game. The cinema scenes used for the story intro in the SNES version of Batman Returns are also fantastic. The NES intro is really amazing though considering it uses sharp graphics, keeps the movement in it smooth, and then has Batman jumping out of the Batmobile to reveal a near-photo realistic Batman next to the game title. Truly a sight to behold. The sheer visual quality in the Batman Returns ones makes them memorable, they are full of detail and really capture the movie well.
Do any 8 bit or 16 bit game graphics still impress you?
Nope not any more, i played my snes for the first time in ages today and played some old time favorites, but it just didn’t have the magic as it did back in the day. but the game play in some old games will allways amaze me.
Absolutely not. :p
It depends on what you look for in the graphics. I love for the smaller details in them, micromanagement if you will. As opposed to looking at the big picture and seeing one thing, I break it down and see many things. By doing this, I'm bound to find something that I like about it.
Like some guys have already mentioned, the later SNES RPGs and Yoshi's Island still hold up well. Also, I've always been amazed at the way the Sonic games looked despite the Genny hardware.
I still love the way Secret of Mana, A Link to the Past and the DK Country games look among many others. It is amazing what they could do with pixels and a few frames of animation. Secret of Mana I think is just absolutely beautiful!

The sound chip was pretty amazing and still holds up failrly well. Super Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, took advantage of the soundchip well and I feel that the game holds up very well. I loved the planet Hoth level, with snow falling and probe droids hovering in. Great stuff!
For the Genesis, it will always be Herzog Zwie for me. The game holds up fairly well, and the techno music is great.
Occasionally. Beyond Oasis, for one. As much as I like the Genesis, what was done with that game is pretty surprising.
