What older games you think have aged rather well.

[SiNCry]

I still love Half-Life and it's expansions

 

[vivster]

counterstrike of course
i like it BECAUSE the graphics aren't as overloaded as modern shooters
so you can actually see someone 50 feet away

 

[Mysticgamer]

Still love Paper Mario and it's sequel The Thousand Year Door.

I am SO happy no one has said Oblivion.
Not that Oblivion isn't a good game, its still really good and fun...but damn that game hasn't aged very well

Also I'd say Supermario 64 has aged really well.

That's simply because it's not an older game, unless you're a toddler I guess.

For me at least older game = 90's

But then I guess I am nearly 30 :-/

Megaman Legends 2, Super Mario 64, and Half-Life. There are a few others that didn't age as well as others but some like Mechwarrior 4 Mercenaries and Counter Strike that have recieved upgrades to keep them running strong.

Woah woah I'm sorry but the orginal Half-Life has aged really poorly.

 

[an874]

Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past and Ocarina of Time, and the Sands of Time Prince of Persia Trilogy.

 

[DazBurger]

Metal Gear Solid

It may have shitty graphics, but it so damn thought through.

Kingdom hearts:
I only got the chance to play those games a few months back, and the graphics didn't burn my eyes with their awful PS2 level quality.
On top of that the gameplay was slick, smooth and some of the best I've played in years.
Why has number 3 not been made yet?

Squenix have yet to set the stage. Birth by Sleep (think of it as Kingdom Hearts 0) and the upcoming Dream Drop Distance are serving that purpose. I'm fairly certain that III will be well worth the wait. (Though lucky you, you won't have to wait as long.)

OT: Spyro, of course.

I also think Space Invaders is still pretty solid to this day. I used to play that all the time in computer class.

The original Halo has done well i still play it. And Burnout 3 is good too much better than paridise

It helps that it's been re-released about 5 times, with one or two gameplay changes having happened, total.

Anyway, Nethack.
And, Picmin. I frikkn love Pikmin, still.

tell me a FPS series that isint the same between the games.

Woah woah I'm sorry but the orginal Half-Life has aged really poorly.

Cause, you know. Modern FPS games have really shown it up in gameplay; what with it's... uh... graphics! And... uh... uhmmmmmm... checkpoints! Seriously though, Half-Life 1 comes from a time when singleplayer was the bread and multiplayer is the butter. Now multiplayer is the bread AND butter and singleplayer (if it has one) is the crumbs on the plate. The singleplayer of Half-Life 1 has most of the features modern shooters have. I've skipped playing it for years (started playing the series at Half-Life 2) but with Killzone 3, Call of Duty (Modern Warfare 2 and Black Ops), Duke Nukem Forever, and (to a degree) Halo: Reach singleplayer has taken a back seat and has been found wanting. I went back and played it, and I had fun.

I think you misunderstood what I was saying, I didn't say "hurr modern fps are so good", I said that it hasn't aged well. It's still playable but you can tell it isn't as great and genre changing as it was then.

 

[Hong Meiling]

Wind waker will never look like its graphics are old.
This is a true fact. Also I guess it's fun to play.

Also Doom 1. I dunno about you guys, but the graphics somehow make the experience. I don't even WANT those 3d enhancements. Oh no. The pure Doom 1 and 2 experience is still stellar today.

 

[AlternatePFG]

Deus Ex has aged really well in my opinion. I've been playing it for the first time after the last Steam sale and I have to say it still really impresses me what they did with this game.

Genre changing? NONE of the games listed here are genre changing NOW. Many have seen a decade passby, and if they are still changing a genre after so long alot of people have missed something or it's one hell of a puzzlebox game. Some of the games that age very well didn't even add a footnote to the genre, they just were a culimation of a ton of pre-existing ideas arrayed in masterful maner.

To be honest though, you didn't say (or type in this case) "hurr modern fps are so good" but you didn't say much "Woah woah I'm sorry but the orginal Half-Life has aged really poorly" barely is basically a counter arguement of "No, it isn't." Kinda difficult to respond to that when no reason as to why other than "It's not."
