Games That Didn't Really Age Well

[Rob2600]

Ice Hockey on nes has aged much better than Blades of Steel because BoS went for realism, Ice Hockey didn't. Both games are still a lot of fun to play, but BoS looks like crap while Ice Hockey shines (graphically) in my opinion.

To me, Blades of Steel still looks great, whereas Ice Hockey has always had a cheap, outdated look to it.


Growing up, I constantly played the Atari 2600, but I have almost no interest in playing it now. It's like trying to go back to having a 19" black-and-white TV in the living room or driving a Model T car. Sure, those things were amazing at the time, but our standards and expectations have evolved.

For starters, Rad Racer for the Nes. It just isn't very much fun to play anymore.

i was busy playing diablo and aoe during the birth of 3d gaming, so i don't have any nostagia for the old 1st-gen 3d console games. so most ps1 and n64 games have aged terribly for me because of the generally terrible (by today's standards) control schemes.

dc games to a lesser extent are affected because of the lack of a second analog stick, but it's not such a problem that i can't enjoy some quake after a few minutes of fiddling with the button mapping.

i also have a lot less patience with nes games than i did when i was a kid. if i'm not having fun within a few minutes now, i quit. when i was a kid, i had the "i paid $50, dammit i'm gonna have fun" attitude.

On PC hands down Nascar Racing by Papyrus. I used to be a master at that game even with the talladega cheat to take off the restrictor plate i used to blast laps over 215 or 216 mph. Now going back its so pixelated and ew that i couldnt do that again even if i had all the time in a week and a mission statement.

I might anger a few people here, but I cannot stand the resident evil remake on the Gamecube. I never played the original back in the day, but the controls are just too clunky for me to handle.
