Wow the NES Batman: Return of the Joker arguably looked better than the Genesis version. Maybe not in a technical sense, but I find it more pleasant to look at.

I always thought Little Nemo: The Dream Master had great graphics. They were amazingly colorful and the characters had awesome design, especially the cigar-smoking gorilla!

I played that game so many times when I was a kid. I could never beat it though because it was surprisingly hard. I'll have to bust it out someday to see if it's still a challenge.

Another vote for SMS R-Type here.

Interestingly enough, the 80386 is in the same chip family as the 8086 and uses a compatible (expanded) instruction set.

I meant that it was interesting with respect to game consoles. The only comparisons I can think of in that realm are the GB -> GBC, GBA -> DS and GC -> Wii.

GBA is 32-bit.

these shots are from GBC :lol

Always thought Mighty Final Fight for the NES (and now GBA) had a nice clean look to it.

Was Diablo 1 8-bit? (256 colors).

Anything 256 colors should be considered.

Since '8-bit' hasn't been defined in this thread; then I suppose the above 8-bit colour definition can apply!

A common definition would be the number of 'bits' the GPRs (General Purpose Registers) can hold within the CPU... but "8-bit" is very vague and not very meaningful to compare architectures with custom chipsets...

Also "best" hasn't been defined; so there'll be plenty of variety between 'static' screens and 'dynamic' vids...

The original batman game looked great.

 

[gkryhewy]

The correct answer is Batman, but Godzilla (NES) also looked great:

 

[Forgotten Ancient]

Some of my choices (though there are obviously better ones in this thread):


breakthru

Rockin Kats

Wizards and Warriors

Bionic Commando

+ Many others already posted.

Anywho, I'm of the mind to say that Wizards and Warriors, Bionic Commando, and Ducktales are the ultimate 3rd party NES games in terms of graphics and music. Virtual Console needs to get in gear.

You guys should play more Master System games.

Sonic for Master System wins

Alladin looked nice also

oh damn, i just realized Street Fighter 2 is on master system also

 

[Tain]

If the platform counts, then Dracula X. No contest whatsoever.

 

[Xtyle]

right, Dracula X. End.

 

[Grecco]

Ducktales is my vote.

I actually owned this steaming piece of horseshit. I don't remember it looking that great.

Yes! =o~

Wonderboy in Monster World

I loved my SMS as a kid...

Fish Files on Gameboy Color ( not Advance )

Alone in the Dark on Gameboy Color too

I refuse to believe those are produced on an 8bit system. That isn't an 8bit colour pallet for a start. It has to be 16bit.
