Video gaming history is full of games that were absolute gems when they were released.
Many of these games still after years or even decades can be played and considered great games. Even if their graphics, framerate or mechanics are outdated they still have something that stands the test of time. Some games still manage to pull off all of these aspects.
What are your favourite old games, that could still today be released and be considered great?
Mine are coincidentally my favourite games of all time too.
Star Control 2. The Melee and story modes both still outshine a lot of modern space rpg's. Exploration, basebuilding, time-based narrative, graphics. It could be released today as an indie game and it would be 90+ metacritic game.
Quest for Glory series. Even comparing these games to each other does disservice to the series as a whole. First ones were vga-graphics parser games and the later ones one of the first click'n'point adventures. Why they still rise above others from that time is the rpg-elements, humor, story and continuity.
Other than those two I will simply list few others that are not the usual suspects like SMB3. If possible try to do the same. We all know that Chrono Trigger is still great and we all know that Super Mario 64 is still rubbish.
Fantasy General: Theme and mechanics still work fantastically
Steel Panthers: Same as Fantasy General. Just strong enough game mechanics carry this one for a long time.
Final Fantasy VII-X: They redefined JRPG as it is.
