Yea, all the early 3D systems like the PSX, N64, 32X, Amiga CD32, 3DO, and especially the Jaguar have all aged horribly.

2D games on the Saturn still looks absolutely brilliant though.
Pre-Atari2600 home consoles like the Fairchild Channel F have also aged terribly.


Wasn´t the 32X just an Mega Drive add on?

Yes, but it was one of those early 3D systems, so I mentioned it.

Play RE1 on Playstation today. Nuff said.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

Atari Jaguar:

The Jaguar didn't age badly because it was already bad when it came out.

Saleswise yes, but technically it wasn't that bad. Atari only had no 3d in mind when designing the console.

I have a Jaguar and Doom looks and plays great on it. Tempest 2000 and Alien Vs Predator are good. But that's it, the rest looks terrible. It looked terrible back then and it still looks terrible. Nobody bought it because the games looked terrible even compared to PSX and Saturn which haven't aged well themselves.

Saturn games -- only because I have more and thus have had more experience than PS games (which I have been more selective in acquiring).

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.

PS1. Some of the textures are just... bleh! It's difficult to even watch someone play the console.



playstation, every game from that system in this day of age is un playable in my opinion



All the 5th gen systems look crappy now, SNES and Mega Drive looked better despite 2D graphics



Xbox Series, PS5 and Switch (+ Many Retro Consoles)

Prediction: Switch 2 will outsell the PS5 by 2030

It seems like about any game that had tried to push the envelop for photo realism in the past, doesn't really age well at all.  Sports games and others fit into that category.  Games that go for an aesthetically appealing look, and less concerned about graphics, end up holding up better.  For example, Tetris can hold up throughout the years.  We may be to the place now where 3D polygons can hold up well. I do believe Street Fighter 4 can hold its own, as oppose to the past Street Fighter EX titles.
