What game released before the turn of the millennium do you think looks the best?

(No 21st century enhancements such as HD remasters or post-1999 mods allowed)

It is going to take me some time to dig up those memories. The mid-late 90s are probably the point in my life where I gamed the least. Presumably, the best looking game is from that period.

In the meantime, I'm looking forward to seeing what other people come up with.

Undoubtedly it was Unreal

Deus Ex (2000) - a game that pushes the boundaries of what the video game medium is capable of to a degree unmatched to this very day.

Probably one of the earlier Sega NAOMI arcade board games, like Dead or Alive 2.

I like the 4th gen pixel art era. Games like Secret of Manna, Super Metroid, Chrono Trigger, FF6, Terranigma, Streets of Rage, Revenge of Shinobi, Sonic Trilogy, Mohawk Jim and Headphone Jack, etc. They still look great today.
So do Dreamcast games like Sonic Adventure and Shenmue & Soulcalibur.
Also I have a special aesthetic bias in my heart about Kikiri Village in OOT. Banjo Kazooie too.
In terms of graphics power, It would probably be a PC game like Unreal.
