This may just be me, but I feel like 2D ages so much more gracefully than 3D. Especially the PS1 era.
I can look at a game like Tales of Phantasia and bask in how beautiful everything looks, even at 256x224 on that limited hardware. I can even go way back to the '80s on PC-88 titles like Undine and have a lot of fun.
But I load up Grandia and ... oh dear. I know it's a great game, everyone says it's wonderful, but it looks absolutely dreadful.
- gambiting 11y agoI think the early 3D systems were the worst for holding up. I can load up pretty much anything that was released on NES, SNES, GameBoy, MegaDrive, and still have an absolute blast. I am sure that if you gave Super Mario Bros to an 8 year old now, they would still enjoy it. But any of the early 3D games are just so visually jarring I can't force myself to play more than a short while before I turn them off. Especially with the early, horrible 3D controls. Even the games which I loved when I was young - Metal Gear Solid, Mario64, Wipeout - they are all unplayable for me now.
