There are alot of video games out there that haven't aged well. What game comes to your mind when you think of this topic? and why?

If you say Tomb Raider has not aged well (compared to today's games), then my friends we might as well slam the nail in the coffin on every single game produced before the PS2.
Now I disagree. I still find Tomb Raider astonishingly beautiful and very detailed. Some of those levels are breath taking, and the music is just so epic.8bitgamer said:Tomb Raider remains an important game historically, but it hasn't aged well, due primarily to the aforementioned clunky controls. Just because something is old doesn't mean it hasn't aged well. Galaga, for example, is still endlessly entertaining.

I think it's the kids these days...everything's about the graphics with themjoeblow said:masterchris said:You guys do realize that Tomb Raider was a f****** mind blowing game at the time it was released? It broke new ground other games had not yet broken, both for it's graphics and story.
Agree. You could say the same thing about the 1st Resident Evil.
As far as not aging well, I guess I'll have to go back and play them a bit. I have both. Right now I can't imagine not liking them.

I just find it boring now. Lame story, weaker visuals, and the combat is slow and time consuming.
you quit after 15 hours! why not quit soonermattimeo48 said:LinksOcarina said:Final Fantasy 7.

I completely agree. I never played it when it originally came out so when I finally got a PS2 I borrowed a copy from a friend and tried it out. After about 15 hours I gave up and returned it. It was ugly to look at, the story was dull, and the combat was awful.
In general I think that most RPGs that have turn-based combat haven't aged well. I've been playing through Super Mario RPG again and I hate battling in it as it just takes forever. At least the cartoony look of it has saved the visuals though, plus any Mario game where you can team up with Bowser promises to have a semi-unique story.
