Games that have aged well
You haven’t aged a day. Okay, maybe just one or two.
I disagree, I tried replaying D2 before D3 launched and pretty much hated it for the word go.
Chrono Trigger and Age of Kings were awesome. Spent lots of time playing those.
Heheh. Must resist to comment.... borders on the line of... preference... favoritism... etc...etc...Quote:

:rolleyes:
The ultimate 'game that aged well' has to be Pacman, I mean that game just does not die, and probably also Tetris. :)
We've already got those covered. Any more suggestions?Quote:

Don't like to read something light-hearted every once in a while? Then don't read them.Quote:

I thought Nox aged very well, so that should be on the list, Tarryn, why isn't it there?

Okay guys, fun is over, back to serious gaming business - and don't you dare let me catch you laughing around here!
Many of the great SNES game surprise me by just how good they still look, it's really remarkable. But sprites do always hold up better then polygons.
Planescape with resolution mods and gui mods is still brilliantly playable. :D
Monkey Island still looks so awesome. Which reminds me, I still Tales of Monkey Island on Steam and I haven't even touched it!
/touches it
depends did you draw that Picasso design?Quote:

Good call on DK II James. I would have threatened to fire him too.
Yeah, The story was really good, had some really well written comedy bits. What I remember stuck me most about it was how when you played a different class you would start somewhere else. Like if you played Warrior you start in one area and if you played wizard you start in a completely different area. Blew my mind back in the day.Quote:

I have the cd's in our store room at home but for some reason it hangs up the computer when I quit the game, I wonder if there is a patch somewhere to stop that. I really should look next time I want to play it.Quote:

I never got into dungeon siege, preferred IceWind Dale I & II, Bulder's Gate. Back then my machine couldn't handle "high-end" graphics.Quote:

Your answer is sitting right in the article.Quote:

Same here - the graphics are just too dated on modern hardware - and I hated the pointless 'stamina' requirementQuote:
