games that aged well

[pope_of_larry]

i started replaying super Mario 64 and i game a cross a tread what games have aged bad. so i started wondering what do you think have aged well.

 

[The Shade of Time]

Metal Gear Solid 1 - 3 they're games I can still have fun with every time I play.

 

[Mr. In-between]

Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars.

 

[Morty815]

not a lot to be honest, i feel grim fandango has aged well though. Something about playing a game from a different era feels depressing to me.

 

[Ranorak]

Pokemon Gold and Silver.
More so then Red and Blue, because the pokemon looked like blobs during battle.

 

[The Last Nomad]

The Jak and Daxter games have aged very well although they are not really that old...

 

[BlindMessiah94]

castlevania SOTN

a million times this.

Chrono Trigger.

 

[Legion IV]

Resident evil series. Devil may cry series. Final Fantasy (besides mabey 9 and 3 but all the other are golden)

 

[DividedUnity]

Counter strike. That game will always remain fun for me to play no matter how old it is

 

[Necromancer1991]

LoZ:MM and LoZ:OoT

 

[Distazo]

I can go back and play Zelda Ocarina of time as well as Majoras Mask on my N64 and very rarely do they ever feel dated. Maybe this is nostalgia talking, but I think that a lot of my N64 games have been lasting and replay value than most of my Xbox 360 games.

Edit: Good ninja Necromancer1991

Mega Man 2.

I mean, seriously. It's 8-bit To The Max, but the gameplay is just so tight.

 

[AboveUp]

Most of the good NES and SNES era games.

It's mostly the early 3D titles that have ages really, really bad. With the exception of a rare few gold titles.

 

[The Madman]

Baldur's Gate 2: Shadows of Amn

High resolution 2D art for backgrounds, 3D enhanced spell effects and environmental details, and gameplay that remains unique in gaming.

 

[Retodon8]

Two game (serie)s come to mind immediately.
The first is Monkey Island (1990), which had a recent re-release of course.
It did well enough for the sequel, another game that held up well, to get the same treatment.

The other is Commander Keen (1990), or really most of the Apogee/id Software platform games.

Oddly enough, I would posit that Halo: Combat Evolved has aged extremely well. Its campaign is still thrilling, the soundtrack and sound design are still top notch (there's nothing like hearing the crack of a sniper rifle or Halo's signature "ba-da-da-DUM" as you slaughter a pack of Grunts), and (surprisingly) the graphics still look weirdly pretty. And few multiplayer experiences can top the adrenaline surge you get while playing 16 player CTF in Blood Gulch.

I think as a whole, the Super Nintendo classics have aged the best. Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Castlevania, MegaMan, FInal Fantasy, Chrono Trigger, Mario Kart, etc.

All of the SNES versions of these games are still finely tuned and pleasing to watch games.

 

[More Fun To Compute]

Dan Dare: Pilot of the Future on the Spectrum.

 

[DominoSmith]

To this day, I still play Twisted Metal

Silent Hill 2 has a great graphical style that, while not eye-poppingly impressive, is enough to keep it scary and immersive when other horror games from around the same time look cartoony by comparison, such as Code Veronica. (Although I do love CV, it's probably the most underrated Resident Evil, it's absolutely dicks on 4!)
