    Default What the most beautiful game pre-dreamcast

    What do you all think is the nicest, cleanest, best looking overall game playing game pre-dreamcast. When you think of your game think of story, graphics, smoothness, rendering, gameplay. Let me know.

    The Misadventures of Flink or Lomax come to mind, graphics wise at least.

    Hmm. Full motion video games like Slam City with Scottie pippin look good /sarcasm.

    I always thought that the Gran Tourismo 1 looked awesome for the PS1.
    But you're saying beautiful. So my guess would be....hmmm... I can't really think of any.

    It would definitally NOT be any console game or any PC game. It would have to be one of the games on Sega's MODEL 3 family of arcade boards.

    Scud Race/Super GT
    Daytona USA 2
    Sega Rally 2
    Magical Truck Adventure
    Harley Davidson & L.A. Riders
    The Ocean Hunter

    come to mind

    I thought Rayman looked beautiful.

    I also thought Myst looked beautiful.

    Animated graphics: Astal
    Arcade: Scud Race (good call there)

    But overall it would have to be NiGHTS, for creating such a vibrant, morphing and living world that was always changing. You could play that game a mile a second and the graphics would still amaze. There's never been anything like it before or since, a world so fantastical it can't be real, but an engine so complex and changing based on your interaction that it feels totally organic.
