What's the oldest gen that still looks fine to you graphically?

To be honest I still like some gen 2 games but they're graphically too simplistic to even know what you're looking at without the manual usually.

To me, gen 3 (8 bit) is when the graphics are good enough to really enjoy the game, and 16 bit is the point at which I have no complaints about the visuals if it's well made.

Really, I feel many (if not most) games in gen 5 are the only ones that have aged so poorly as to be difficult to revisit, as that first generation of 3D often had terrible controls and hideous textures.
