I will go with the outside portion of Temple of Time.

Man, how I wanted to be able to explore this backyard. Seeing Death Mountain and be able to visit it later is pretty cool too.

Please post smaller pictures. I can't watch it all at once on my Nokia 3310 screen, it's only 10x8 pixels

 

[FranXico]

Baldur's Gate II had amazing art for its time.

Came in to say FFIX, but it's already covered multiple times. Good...good.

Chrono Cross:

Basically everything from CC to be honest.

FFIX the thread.

FFVII, the absolute best

Pick any scene from Resident Evil Remake.

 

[pinkurocket]

Baten Kaitos Origins.

A bunch of Baten Kaitos backgrounds apply.

 

[Wools]

I completed my yearly play through of Resident Evil 2 yesterday so that game is firmly lodged in my mind!

The shot below I really love, not just because it looks good but how it comes alive in-game. If you can make out the small flare gun in the centre of the frame, Leon can light it which sends a flare into the background lighting up the surrounding area and it looks so beautiful.

Also, the detail in this scene is immense for the 32bit generation.

I love REmake (one of my favorite games of all time) but let's be real - that's a fanmade pic. Neither emulator nor the PS4 "remake" can create those graphics.

 

[Sinatar]

The backgrounds from Icewind Dale are my favorite, don't know if I could pick just one though.

 

[fly high ~ayunite~]

All the shit in Tales of Symphonia .

Not a fan made pic. It's an official Capcom made render from back when the game originally launched they used for promotions.

Chrono Cross:

This.

Chrono Cross. THE ENTIRE GAME.

No game comes close.

 

[DJIzana]

I was going to say Chrono Cross as well but since that was posted already.... Legend of Dragoon is actually my pick.

I'm going with Phantasy Star Online.

Mmh... But that doesn't look pre-rendered. Seems like full real-time geometry to me.

Yeah. Aye that's true. Changed.

Syberia II

 

[ghibli99]

It's not out yet, but this prerendered BG shot from Pillars of Eternity (Obsidian Kickstarter) captures my imagination in the best nostalgic PC way:

 

[Voliko]

Chrono Cross, Baten Kaitos, REmake, FF8, damn I love pre-rendered backgrounds.

 

[pantsmith]

Does Riven count?

 

[Minions]

Does Riven count?

Absolutely; I forgot about Myst/Riven; Those backgrounds were awesome.

 

[Flappy]

I want to live here:

Chocobo Ranch, FFVII.

 

[Lumpy Onion]

I don't particularly like Legend of Dragoon, but it has some of my favorite pre rendered backgrounds. Some fun towns to explore.

 

[Peltz]

Legend of Mana. Too lazy to post pics.

 

[ChoklitCow]

I want to live here:

Chocobo Ranch, FFVII.

Can I crash in your barn?

 

[collige]

Literally every scene in Baten Kaitos is gorgeous.

 

[Durante]

Yep, same here. Though PST has some fantastic ones as well.

 

[Godcannon]

First time I saw these I was like

 

[DiipuSurotu]

Chrono Cross and Baten Kaitos were already posted (Yasuyuki Honne is the best!), as was Legend of Mana (SaGa Frontier 2 had a great watercolor artstyle too).

So I'll mention Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge:

 

[Dimmle]

The stuff in OoT and FFVII always gets my nostalgia going.

The borders of OoT's prerendered backgrounds fueled many a playground rumor.

 

[ZombiePlatypus]

FFVII,VIII,IX and Chrono Cross and Baten Kaitos ones are godly. I can look at them all day.

Awesome thread.

Are they not showing at 640x480? They look fine on my end.

They're 200x150.

 

[bosseye]

Anything from the GC Resi remake naturally, they blew my mind.

But also, anything from Commandos/Commandos 2 etc, they were errrrmezzin.

 

[QuantumZebra]

This + all PSX final fantasys + all PSX Resident evils

Haha holy shit that's a reference to Nighthawks by Edward Hopper but cyberpunked.
