Battle Arena Toshinden had dope soundtrack.
Dat guitar riff in the end :smokin:
I was lucky enough to live near a museum growing up; they had Jaguar, PSOne and Sega Saturn free to play 4 months before official US release. I was in that museum every weekend that summer whooping everyone’s ass in Battle Arena Toshinden with Ellis. Good times.
REmake is pretty amazing in my opinion.
I couldn’t stand to play the original RE anymore. Way too much ammo, way too easy.
Crimson heads were done well and the voice overs, while still not amazing, are not as laughable anymore.
The little side story with the girl is whatever, but doesn’t distract too much.
remake is nearly perfect, it just left out one important thing
top 3 re songs
Perfect Dark. That game for it’s time was incredible but man it looks like ass today.
Why do you think Half-Life is a bad game?
Tekken 1 looked like garbage even when it was new. Virtua Fighter blew it out of the water.
Maybe I have a high tolerance for dated gameplay design and graphics, but Ocarina of Time (with extra draw distance on GC/Wii), Resident Evil 1, Virtua Fighter 1, and Crash Bandicoot still look good to me and play just as well.

I still stand by that the character didn’t age well, but how can you sit there and say Sonic games including the Og trilogy where never good???
Shenmue 1, I love it but the controls & inability to time skip are an issue, Shenmue 2 was leaps better.
Back in the 90s and early 00s I was still “trying” to like FPS (I gave up on that now) and I played a little bit of Doom, Quake, Duke Nukem 3D and a few ohters. I even finished the first FEAR. I played HL1 for about 2h before giving up. The story/cutscenes were too long and annoying and the gameplay was terrible in the beginning (I still have nightmares about using a crowbar to kill weird crawling creatures that looked like rejects from Aliens). I just couldn’t stand it anymore
I like Portal 1 and 2, though.
I never liked the pace of the game, I guess. You’re supposed to go as fast as possible in some areas and then jump very carefully in others… it’s a weird game for me. I was never able to play more than a level or two. On the other hand I loved Super Mario World.
For me Sonic is only a “good game” considering the shitty catalog of Genesis games. It’s like some N64 games were only “good” when you consider that most of that console’s librabry were trashy 3D games
I doubt Sonic 1, 2 or 3 would be that “iconic” if they were released on the SNES.
Despite what I said earlier, I still think OoT is a very good game, and the visuals are by all means functional. It’s just that, if I had to play through an old 3D Zelda game, it’d be downprioritized to several later 3D Zeldas (notably Wind Waker, Twilight Princess and Majora’s Mask) which I think expanded and improved on what OoT first did and are thus more enjoyable overall.
I never really liked the controls in earlier Resident Evil-games. Crash Bandicoot looks just fine and has loads of personality, but the controls and camera angles annoy me to no end. It’s not terrible, but I can’t help but compare it to a certain other platformer that was released in 1996. Reminds us pretty clearly that the N64 had an analogue stick at that time, and that the PS1 didn’t.
There are remakes of OoT and RE1, which I think the remasters are a lot better. I dont know why you would play the originals, besides maybe nostalgia reasons.
The gauntlet games havent aged well, there are other games that can do what gauntlet series does better, like customizing your character, get different weapons and having online play. Other than pressing attack and magic. Theres really no customization in gauntlet games.
I’m inclined to say N64…but I went to a swap meet last weekend, and saw a video game section with a bunch of systems and a TV. There was a kid playing Super Mario 64 on the N64 in Tick Tock Clock…not on Wii, but on N64.
Man it was a flashback to 1996.
Yup, every few years I replay Donkey Kong Country 2, maybe Super Metroid.
Ocarina of Time and Majora’s mask have not aged well to me.
Imma say yall focused on the wrong aspects of the question. Of course anything that sorta relied on graphics will be terribly outdated now. Think about sports games and shooters.
It will be more interesting to bring up other discussion arguments like very few have (difficulty level on Ocarina, etc)
No shit a 1st gen PS1 fighter looks like ass, it’s been 20 years. Some old games still hold up due to mechanics, good control and fun factor though. I would still play Earthworm Jim 2 on the SNES/Sega Genesis.
I think SMB3 has aged pretty much better than any game, considering its age and what console it was released on.
Tank controls in general.
Ya but you like Megaman DoS
I like tank controls, but it depends. If the atmosphere of the game benefits then I say use them. Old re had great cinematic shots that made the games better.
Pong, Pac-Man, Galaga, Frogger, Super Mario Bros, and Tetris are timeless as far as I am concerned.
Genesis catalogue is epic, especially if you take into consideration the backwards compatibility with Master System and 32x expansion. There is nothing on the SNES like Alisia Dragoon, Outrun, Virtua Fighter, LOTUS II, Zero Tolerance, Road Rash II, Langrisser II, or QuackShot.
