No matter how much graphics tecnhology evolves this game will forever look amazing.
The Neverhood
The Neverhood
Does anybody know the GB/GBC game that looked like real 3D by using various shades of dark/black and it looked really awesome? I thought it was perfect dark but I can't find it.

How the fuck did it take so long for the neverhood to be posted. Jesus people.

I think they released it for PS1 in Japan also.
although I haven't played the PC version more than 10 minutes (the low resolution videos made me dizzy), I loved the sequel-platform, Skullmonkeys. I gave it to my nephews, they play it all the time
EDIT: I think the Neverhood for PS1 is not compatible with some ps2 slims,all the PS3 and PSP (even if you compile it yourself)

that was the christmas that i got both ocarina of time and metal gear solid. it's probably my favorite experience in my video game history.
agreed. there's an authenticity and consistence about it that gave it a realistic feel for me when i was young. when i was up on death mountain, i felt vertigo.

The only things that really bother me are Harry's Gumby legs and lack of facial features.

I can't speak for the veracity of their posts, but I can honestly say that yes, those games do still look wonderful to me.
Agreed. I don't even really like Zelda but it looks amazing.
Probably already posted, but deserves to be mentioned again if that's the case. I believe Zelda 3 to be the most "timeless" looking SNES game ever made. Such great use of color and style.
Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun Firestorm - PC, 2000
Really? I remember thinking C&C2 was ugly as sin on the day it was launched. Like, I literally went, "ugh" when the first level appeared on my screen.
Different strokes I suppose

Yea I thought it looked horrible back then too
Pixel perfect. I still have the CDs for Warcraft I, II, and II XP. (And Diablo 1 for that matter)Warcraft 2
Still my favorite RTS.
Any way I can play these on Windows 7?
We're not talking gameplay here... The topic is about graphics. You really find those titles wonderful from a graphical pov? Really? The resolution is so low in AitD and NFS that a single pixel is the size of New York.
I understand nostalgia, but those screenshots don't belong in this thread imo. If those are games that still look great today.... :/
Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines
This is from Commandos 2: Men of Courage though. The first game and its expansion look a bit worse.

Oh, yes!
I wish TenNapel would make a video game again...

Blue Stinger - 1999 (I always wanted a sequel to this. sad that one was in the making, but never eventuated 
):
I remember seeing shots like this in magazines before the release of the Dreamcast and KNEW I just had to have this game, and I loved the absolute shit out of it despite it's flaws. It still looks great on the DC for a 1999 game.
Baku Baku - Sega Saturn
This game is a real gem. Beautiful to look at, and full of personality, fun as fuck too.

MDK and Sacrifice still hold up really well.
Heck, even the PS1 port of MDK looks good.
Homeworld
Needs more Homeworld love.
That's Homeworld 2. From 2003. And it's a horrible screenshot you have chosen. It should look like this:
Homeworld 2 screens
Screenshot 1
Screenshot 2
Homeworld 1 was such an incredibly beautiful game, I aprove all this love for the games, we need Homeworld 3.
