If you ask me, I’d choose pixel-style graphics over hyper-realistic graphics any day of the week. A game with lifelike graphics loses an essential part of what makes games special at their core. The Chrono Trigger intro (1995) is a perfect example of pixel art at its finest.

Metal Slug turned 30 this year. It has aged incredibly gracefully; and I think the main reason is its pixel graphic style. Unlike early 90s vector graphics, ray tracing, or hyper-realistic styles, pixel art ages much better. You could release Metal Slug today as an arcade game and it would still work perfectly. You can't say the same about the majority of games from three decades ago. Many, many coins went into this beauty back in the day…

Why game companies focus on graphics instead of gameplay? 1) the devs must show the game to upper management. They don't play it. They just look at the cut scenes. So to get greenlit you need cool cut scenes that the players will probably skip. 2) the game journalists who review your game only care about screen shots. They will play it for maybe 10 minutes. Superficial looks, not depth, is what they will review. I'm not decrying graphics. Great graphics make a game better. But game play entices players. If devs ignore management and journalists you can get incredible games. Remember Dwarf Fortress? And look at Fallout: New Vegas - really, kind of chunky graphics even for its time, but terrific gameplay. Also neaer-perfect soundtrack.

Metal Slug turned 30 this year and still looks absolutely incredible if you ask me. The sheer amount of detail in every screen, whether it’s the character animations, the weapons, the destructible environments, or the backgrounds - everything oozes visual perfection. You can tell that the artists working on this one were true masters of their craft. Unlike early-90s vector graphics, ray tracing, or hyper-realistic styles, pixel art ages much better, in my opinion. It has a timeless quality. You could release Metal Slug today as an arcade game and it would still be well received, I’m sure. Not something you can say about many games of that age.

Our speedrun game is one of the most played on @elixir_launcher. 💨 It might melt your graphics card, but it's not just a game. It's an example of what ANYONE will be able to make with the #UnioverseSDK. Imagine many games built by fans, but rooted in a rich story universe! 👋

How is this game turning 40 this year? I know some will argue that it wasn't the most complex game ever, that you could exploit the jousting "glitch", that it was relatively simple to beat after a while. Maybe all true. You know what's also true? For its time those graphics, the iconic intro sequence, the soundtrack, the cutscenes, were all beyond what you had seen before; I would take any bet your jaw dropped. The sword fighting scenes with the shadow-play backdrop... that's not just a game with good graphics, that's art! If you can name a game from 1986 with better graphics, be my guest. I would also say that any C64 fan recognizes the opening track blindfolded within 3 seconds. Legendary!

Modern games can draw on infinitely more resources compared to 80s and 90s games. Their graphics can be hyper-realistic and their worlds massive, almost to a point where you might forget that you're playing a game. And here is the thing: I don't like that. The reason I play games is because I want to feel like playing one, not to be part of an interactive movie-like experience where fiction and reality become one. Up until the early 90s, Sierra games had a very distinct art style. Space Quest III is a perfect example - it literally illustrates my point. Sierra had to "modernize" and change their style in later years, of course, to not fall behind. Their graphics became smoother and, to a degree, more mainstream. I might be one of the very few who didn’t like that particular switch. I preferred their original chunky pixel art. To me, those 80s and early 90s games will always be emblematic of Sierra’s legacy. Whenever I replay the older Sierra classics, there’s something comforting about them. They had to work with limited color palettes and low resolutions, yet every shot was packed with detail. It was easy to get lost in them and your mind did the rest, it filled in the blanks, because those games left room for your imagination. I assume younger generations might not see it the same way. And yes, maybe nostalgia is hitting me way too hard, but I still believe one of the main reasons so many of us remember Sierra is because of their art style. It had a certain magic that has never been replicated.

Fable is extremely good at writing original NES games in assembly. Here it designed an original game graphics, soundtrack, everything from scratch, and it'd actually run within the constraints of a real cartridge. Wild.

Westwood was such an amazing game studio. One of their timeless classics is Eye of the Beholder 2, which was released in 1991. The intro alone gave me nerd chills - anyone who ever played Dungeons & Dragons would remember Khelben Blackstaff, and if he considers you his friend, what an honour! The game itself is your typical dungeon crawler. I don't mean that in a disrespectful way but appreciating it for what it was and is, a great game of its genre. Excellent graphics (I am such a sucker for that 90s pixel style), good sound effects and music, and an easy to use interface, making the real-time fights fast paced but manageable. Among the greats of Bard's Tale, Might and Magic, Ultima, and Wizardry, the likes of Eye of the Beholder or Lands of Lore were probably a tier below, but I always loved coming back to them. To me, this game is emblematic of the early 90s, and for that I love it.

What if World of Warcraft was redone and they removed all the cartoonie graphics? Would it still hold its appeal or does the cartoon look contain a special nostalgic value that would change the game too much? 🤔

You are a fool if you still think that Rockstar is like any other gaming company that shows its games better in trailers than the actual in-game quality. We can only imagine how good GTA 6 is going to look in the final release at max graphics on a 4K display.

SimCity 2000 is often cited as the most beloved game in the franchise. It has its own distinct and beautiful pixel style. There’s no need to improve what is already perfect. I don’t need DLSS 5, and frankly I don’t understand the hype. I want games to stay in their original form, exactly as the people who designed them meant them to look. I don’t understand this constant need for faster, better, and more. How about slower, good enough, and less? You can also optimize things to death... (take modern customer support strategies, for example). Games are supposed to look and feel like games. They should leave the mind in a mode of interpretation and creativity. If everything starts to look hyper-realistic and lifelike, what remains to be imagined? To me, many games are a piece of art (and yes, you can disagree, that's ok). So, as such, I want them to remain in their original state, as a testament of the time and the emotions associated with them. You can call me old-fashioned, I can live with that.

Turrican 2: The Final Fight (Factor 5/Rainbow Arts, 1991) is one of the best action games ever, even to this day. Made in Germany: Manfred Trenz (design), Chris Huelsbeck (music), Andreas Escher (graphics) created a near perfect game. The intro alone sucks you in instantly with Chris Huelsbeck's abolutely genius tracks, especially the pace switch at the 0:18 mark. It "only" sold around 50,000 copies across all systems, but if you ask any old school Amiga gamer, they'll probably tell you they've played (and loved) Turrican II. If there was an all-time Amiga top 50 games list, I would easily include Turrican II in i. Would you?
