Classic games that have aged poorly
A lot of games pass the test of time. Others, don't. Which ones aged poorly, in your opinion?
Wolfenstein 3D: The first ever FPS game. Aged dreadfully. The gameplay iss clunky, especially when you try to turn around corners. It came out in 1993 sure, but Doom came out one year later and it's aged much better. Altered Beast: It's a Mega Drive classic, I know. But God, it's such a pain to play nowadays. The gameplay is so stiff and sluggish. Ugh. Phantasy Star II: It was one of the first RPG games, iirc. So it's heavily dated. It's incredibly difficult and cryptic. The dungeons are generic looking mazes and you absolutely need a walkthrough if you want to get anywhere in this game. I have not played Goldeneye and DK64 in 20+ years, so I have no idea if these two aged as badly as people say they did. And I'd rather not know, quite frankly. Don't want to ruin my childhood memories. Of course, before anyone mention, older sports games aged poorly, but that's expected. Those games get outdated less than a year after they come out. I have spoken before on how the likes of Ocarina of Time and Super Mario 64 are no longer as magical as they used to be back in the 90s, but I wouldn't say they aged poorly overall. |
