OoT: agreed; Goldeneye; disagree. In multiplayer the pure gameplay still stands the test of time.

Tetris: aged well (bit of a cop out, I know) as the gameplay is timeless.

Final Fantasy VII: Aged badly; most games on PS1 have aged poorly but the sprites combined with poor translation and some dated/odd conventions (e.g. you should never set the default of overwrite saved game to "yes") mean this has dated very badly and is why many fans ask for a remake.

Agreed on both.

Super Mario Bros. 3: Aged well. Levels feel really short nowadays, but it's amazing how much variety and content was packed into this NES game.

Mario Kart 64: Aged terribly. It wasn't even that good to begin with, but nowadays it's flat out bad. Horribly unbalanced GP mode and multiplayer at a barely tolerable framerate with no music.

AAARGH blasphemy!! MK64 aged perfectly! Yes what you say it's true, on the tecnical side there were a few (maybe a bit more) problems and single player is horrible, but since when you played MK for single player. If you can get over the framerate, that game is the great in multiplayer, it had a longer lerning curve compared to the others (if you like it or not it's subjective), it is the most tactical one regarding weapons, it had the best battle mode (even tough even there it had a few problems). Most of all it is the only game I've (we) never got tired to play with, from 96 to 2011 it's still one of the game I play the most in multiplayer, and we had a lot of good alternatives. If that's aging badly... :D (sorry for the overreaction but I almost had an heart attack!)

-Unreal Tournament aged very well, many online FPS players were too busy playing Halo when the real deal was already out in 99.

-Killer Instinct has not aged very well, I remeber I liked it a lot when used to play it on Snes, but recently I had the chance to play it again but It wasn't so much appealing anymore, after games so well defined and balanced like Tekken, Virtua Fighter or Soulcalibur it almost felt trivial.
