10 Video Game Graphics From The 90s That STILL Hold Up
Here are some older games that we don’t mind looking at today in 2019. Do you have any other examples of games that have visually aged well? Let us know!

U forgot galaxian 3!
Jet Set Radio????
I don’t know why you chose the blocky Tekken 3 instead of the amazingly well aged Soul Calibur.
Ahhhhh, have we forgotten Killer Instinct for the SNES as a honorable mention lol
You gonna make the Final Fantasy VII fandom real mad for not featuring FFVII in this video
Scud race and daytona usa 2
Shenmue was the best looking game on this list.
Daytona USA was above and beyond anything else. Granted it was an arcade game, but still released in the 90s. That and Rayman were both absolutely untouchable visually.
Good shout with Tekken 3.
I booted it up on a PS2, connected to a CRT via RGB cable and damn…it looks great for its time.
Surprised they didn’t include super Mario 64 for its use of the 3D floating camera that’s still used in today’s 3rd person platform games
Gp 500?
Hoping in part 2 you will mention Quake 1 and 2, Unreal, Civ2, DukeNukem, Diablo1/2, Doom, Starcraft
This list is trash. Most of these games do not hold up, simply because 3D games from the ’90’s era are too jaggy and low poly and the frame rates are low. Look at any 2d game made by Nintedo, however, and they all hold up artistically speaking. That’s a big reason why so many Indie developers are still making 2d pixel art games today.
If the Video name is "still hold up" and then "at the time" is said in the video something is wrong here.
How about Virtua Racer?
Resident evil 2
Ugh I always disliked mist
dreamcast came out in 9/9/99 and sonic adventure was insaaaaane when it came out.
SimCity 2000 still rocks!
Dude, powerpoint visual novels don’t count as games. Also they are just pictures, not real time renderings. Come on, you can do better.
earthbound
Half Life 1 holds up well still IMHO
I remember 2008. I got my brand new Core2Duo 8400 @3,6 GHz, 4 GB Ram and 9800GTX+ and found me playing Half Life 1 on the first Weekend. My first question: „You got a high end gaming machine and the first game you play is 10 years old. Why?“ The second thing I noticed was: „Hey, after 10 Minutes you forget about the graphics and enjoy a very good game instead.“ What I learned on that day was, that atmosphere and gameplay is much more important than graphics. And when it comes to atmosphere, a lot of 90‘s Games aged very well.
God of War was another game that was simply amazing and the gameplay still sets the standard for many games now
Sega AM2/Acclaim’s (Ferrari) F355 Challenge, which counts as 1990s if we’re talking about the original arcade version, still holds up beautifully if you ignore the tree wallpaper on one track (Nurburgring F1 I think it was). It also has some music in common with Shenmue since both games were in development at the same time and had the same composer.
"Graphics STILL hold up"…..back then it was mind blowing
Tekken 3 arcade ran on System 12, which was basically an overclocked Playstation with more RAM. Being near arcade perfect wasn’t that an impressive feat. Also 60fps for 1v1 fighting games is quite common and to be expected. I can’t think of a 30fps fighting game this current gen. And texture mapped polygons were very common in the 90s, much more so than early 90s Model 1 era shaded polygons.
Also I’m guessing arcade games were excluded because there are much better looking arcade games from the 90s that hold up better. E.g Virtua Fighter 2 and 3 look much better than Tekken 3 and so they should considering Model 2 and Model 3 hardware were far more powerful than the Playstation derived System 12. Heck one could argue VF2 on the Saturn holds up better than any Tekken game on the PS1.
I think Kirby’s Adventure for the NES should be on the list. There were better looking games on the SNES, but it’s just amazing how good it looked despite running on 1984 hardware.
Virtua fighter 3 looked WAYYYYYY better than Tekken 3
Super mario 64 still looks great
where is half-Life?
Road trip adventure which is an early 2000’s racing game on the ps2 is the best racing game of all time. Change my mind, oh wait you cant.
Unreal and Unreal tournament? maybe it’s 99 and maybe it’s 2000 idk. i have it on my channel. they really were proud show casing their engine.
tekken 3 was phenomenal!
Oddworld
Am I the one who thinks that MGS1 is the best looking game on PSX?
guess what is the first 3d game ever that had realistic speech animations (mouth)
Why no crash bandicoot?!
Ok why did I never have a Dreamcast. Honestly that was like GameCube quality.
Myst, yes, has a legacy (and is one of my favorites) but Riven far, far, outdoes Myst in every way.
DONKEYYY KONGGGGG COUNTRYYYYYY
Wave Race 64 should be on here. The water effects are still impressive considering it came out in 1996.
so you think Soul Calibur looks worse than Tekken 3?
Ahh yes, the pixels. I remember ganondorf, I was there… 3000 years ago
Uhhh Banjo Kazooie?!?? Super Mario 64?!?? Conkers Bad Fur Day?!?? Goldeneye?!?? Turok Dinosaur Hunter?!?? Resident Evil 1, 2, and 3?!?? Tenchu Stealth Assassins?!?? Castlevania Symphony Of The Night?!?? Perfect Dark?!??(Even though I prefer Goldeneye) Sonic Adventure?!?? Fuck I noticed this channel has some very bad decisions on their lists!!!!
Super Mario 64 should be on here
Aladin snes was good graphix. Also sega genesis Flashback
I was thinking Thief would have been on the list because of its lighting system.
1:59 I love that you are covering these games!!! Huge part of my childhood
It blows my mind that people that were born in 2000 are now 19-20 years old. It feels like I lived a lifetime before 2000. I remember when games like Mortal Kombat and Doom came out and I couldn’t believe how amazing the graphics were. Today, video game graphics are so good, that it looks like you’re playing with real people.
I was expecting only 2D games
