Games that have stood the test of Time

Which Retro games do you believe have stood the test of time?

Super Mario 64 and Chrono Trigger are a couple old games that are just as good now as they were 15 years ago when they were released.

Zelda for the nes and Final Fantasy III

Final Fantasy VII

Now i find it wierd that no one has yet said Golden eye 007

□ Kirby's Superstar
□ F Zero X
□ The Legend of Zelda
□ Super Mario Kart
□ Megaman X
□ Earthbound

Basically all 2D games. A couple of months ago I was playing Full Throttle for the PC and it still looks amazing. Also 3D with a distinct art style still looks great. I was stunned how good Luigi's Mansion still looks after all this time. Games like the Super Mario Galaxy games will looks just as awesome now as it will be in ten years.

Super Mario Bros. 3

If it was a well-designed game back then, chances are it still is today. I don't mean that in the "games are timeless" sense, but rather, games that have visuals that are stylistic or aesthetically presentable today are probably still good. For example, Wind Waker will be timeless since it has an art style that will never become obsolete and a gameplay system that is as complex as modern games. Final Fantasy VII, though, looks like a mess today and doesn't play that well either. I guess I should factor sequels into this since they can render a previously "good" game unnecessary to most people, but oh well. What I'm trying to say is that the visuals and gameplay should complement each other, rather than just have a really deep system that is difficult to play because of archaic visuals.

Awkwardly worded rant aside, here are two:
-Yoshi's Island (it uses a unique art style, plus 2D games generally hold up well)
-Super Mario 64 (even if it's not the best looking, it's aesthetically presentable and the gameplay is self-explanatory)

Vector man. Still a fu game after all these years

Super Mario World.
Chrono Trigger.
Final Fantasy VII.
Final Fantasy VIII.
Final Fantasy IX.
Tales of Destiny.
Kirby's Adventure.
Kirby's Superstar.
The Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past.
There are so many more retro games that I love to play.

Actually it's weird, I don't think any game I own looks bad by today's standards, they all have there own unique art style thats still good to this day

The Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past is a really enjoyable adventure game and has so much content for a game of its time
Oh and its art style is nice too
