Games that were graphically impressive for their time, but are ugly now.

It took this thread for me to realize that some people considered Goldeneye 64 "graphically impressive" tbh. For me, it was always ugly, even back in 1997
Almost the entire first gen that did the jump to 3D (PS1 - N64) aged terribly, but at the same time I grew up with those games so I dont care much. Some games that I used to think looked pretty, like Ogre Battle 64, still feel that way and are still a blast to play.

Pre rendered backgrounds were a smart way to bypass the limitations of the era and usually looked good. 

It was also ugly for me. I used to even struggle to understand what was going on in the screen sometimes, with 2D graphics everything was more clean and easy to understand. This is how Rayman looked back in PS1, it still beautiful for me:

The exception for good looking 3D games were game that were more cartoonized. Donald Duck, Aladin Nasira's Revenge, and Crash Bandicoot comes to mind as game that are still actually nice to look at. Curious or not, they are all platformers 

Yeah, i thought only realistic games(with true 3D environments) had a lot of problems to make. Remember Mortal Kombat 4? Yikes. It looked clunky, i couldn't get used to it, 2D digitized was so good, i was like ok, i'm gonna go back to MK Trilogy that was awkward lol.

I also thought horror genre fits well for this type of visual with ugly 3D environments, like Silent Hill 1, it was clever and it worked. lmao
