Which classic game has aged the worst?

Can you name any noteworthy games from back-in-the-day that look so bad now, that you can hardly look at them anymore?I just had a wake up call on the original Wild Arms. I used to think this game looked great. Almost amazing.
Now, I can't stand looking at the game for more than a few minutes. Especially the battles. I mean wow, it's not at all like I remember it.
I bet there's probably alot of games from the 32-bit era that have aged poorly.Have you ever gone back to play an old-school game, but gave up on it because it just looked too crappy?Which classic game has aged the worst?
Star Fox 64 or Super Mario 64Which classic game has aged the worst?
Obviously the visuals wont look so pretty now, but i've never been put off playing a game now that I enjoyed back in the day.
i would say tomb raider. series were a blast back then, now is seems like a chore. However, since TR:Anniversary came out, i might reserve judgement till the next one.

I personally can't say I like it more than the original thanks to the added 3D graphics. Playing it I hardly remember anything.I love Twisted Metal II, but now its hard to believe we could play with the graphics looking the way they did. 8-bit and 16-bit seem to hold up fine since that's the 5tyle they were in. The biggest differences come between PS1/N64 and the current generation of gaming. Talk about leaps and bounds.
None for me becuase I think a game is always fun no matter how old as long it is a good game
Gex II, My cousin gave me the game and i rememeber playing it ten years ago. The game has not aged well.
syphon filter 1 and 2... aghhhto be honest, any of the early 3d games look terrible.2d games age very well :)
I'd say Medievil from PS1, Ghost'n Goblins arcade(used to look in awe to that game back then when I was rugrat), even ocarina of time and majora's mask hurt a little on my eyes. Never did I think I'd say this about these games I looked up to so much, but I have to admit graphically they haven't aged well at all.Gameplay wise Final Fight arcade comes to mind. Adored the game back then when it was at the arcade, but replaying it today on my Capcom Classics Collection certainly opened up my eyes. The game is just to simplistic and now I don't need extra coins to finish it, the game isn't as deep as I thought.
Ocarina I believe has suffered a bit (with the really near pop-up distance of enemies and really blurry textures)--Majora's Mask, on the otherhand, has aged fairly gracefully I think. Since it was made with the N64 expansion pack the pop up distance isn't so painful and the textures at least tolerable. (and if you play it emulated on the PC the save sytem can be completely circumvented)Another N64 classic, Goldeneye 007, is unfortunately now completely horrible. FPSs have just evolved too much over the years, whereas the formula of fantasy adventures and RPGs aren't so reliant on tech capabilities.

Resident evil 2 on the n64 looked like complete garbage, it was good back in its day but when I picked it up today ive noticed that the graphics were bad and there mouths didnt move so I stopped playing it

[/QUOTE]I have to agree with you my brother started him a game on oot and i couldnt believe how bad the game looked lol however its still my fav game of all time.:P
OoT honestly looked pretty good to me when I played it for the first time last year (although I did play the higher-resolution Collector's Edition version, so maybe there was a small difference).
Tough to say, I mean most games I enjoy were not for their graphics but for their depth, and that never deminishes.
i say anything from the ps1/n64 era didn't age well. also pc games like medal of honor:allied assault are horrible now

I was mostly replying to the post above mine which had lumped Ocarina and Majora's together--aging equally as badly. I wanted to point out that Majora's fares a bit better than OoT, otherwise I would not have mentioned either game in a thread about those that have ''aged the worst.'' And in reply to jsmoke: you can not so simply throw out all ps1 and n64 games for their graphics. Gameplay aside, some--especially certain 2D ones on ps--are quite beautiful still. (playing Valkyrie Profile and FFIX right now. both are very good looking games--especially on high resolutions with custom shaders and all that jazz ;))
final fantasy 7
Almost any early '3D' game. N64 games tend to be the worst ~ feat. poor draw distances, simple textures+polygons and generally fuzzy visuals.
[QUOTE=''TheLegendKnight'']final fantasy 7[/QUOTE]people always hated the (non-cutscene) graphics in that game though. block hands! wtf?my vote goes for Guardian Legend. I played it new when it came out for the NES and thought it was amazing. Big bosses and plenty of great game play. But looking back now... ugly and 2D.I still play it and love it. but its just not the same as it was.
