Graphics champ two gens in a row between it and the Xbox version:

Resident Evil 0 on N64 looked good. It was never finished though.

In that case, Malice on the PS1 looked great too. Big (sometimes) open worlds, although it has fog fading.

Artstyle-Wise, I think Animal Crossing on the Nintendo 64 still looks fantastic. It also had way too many items for the system it was on.

Beaten! Just entered the thread to mention this game. The textures are also really well designed and hold up well in a timeless way, like RR: Type 4.

Otherwise I really like the games that either look clean, or have excellent lighting (I think Perfect Dark has aged well due to its lighting, both on N64 and 360 version with more polys and better textures)

Good texture design hides the lack of a Z Buffer in PS1 games (again, Ridge Racer Type 4!), and great lighting prevents N64 games from looking flat, also making them look much better in motion (Battle for Naboo, Ocarina of Time, Perfect Dark, New Tetris etc) than in stills.

Edit: Wave Race 64's dynamic water is still a sight to behold, and the physics of the vehicles and how they react to waves and so on still impresses today https://youtu.be/dGy3x_pcAbs?t=393

100% agree.

Easily some of the best effects in a PS1 game.

Please don't post that terrible R4 impersonation intro...

Here’s the real one: https://youtu.be/mHpCa0_I_aU

Star Wars: Episode I Racer and Rogue Squadron are still damn good games and look great.

N64
Banjo Kazooie
Beetle Adventure Racing
Perfect Dark

PS1
R-Type Delta
Ridge Racer Type 4
Final Fantasy IX

but to me Astal, Killer Instinct Gold, Turok 2, Oddworld, and Jet Force Gemini would be examples of games which have NOT held up graphically

I'm probably in the extreme minority when I say it, but, to me, Tamagotchi 64 looks amazing, admittedly I have a huge soft spot for video games that use 2D sprite graphics and mix it with 3D backgrounds (Which is why I also love games like Paper Mario so much).

And what about Shiren 2, also on the Nintendo 64 (note, Shiren 2 isn't the full title, it's not even 20% of it) looks pretty okay now, though a bit barren. I love the very earthy colour palette is uses.

Goemon Sugoroku of Mononoke also looks quite nice, though, it is made on only 2D sprites, so it's expected.

Also, notice that all of the above games that I just posted are all heavily sprite-based games, haha. Well, Shiren 2 has 3D backgrounds and 3D objects in said backgrounds, so eh.
