Which Classic Games Have Aged Well?

thesp writes "We're all waiting for the releases of the next great games (naming no names) which have been mentioned over and over again here on Slashdot. No doubt they will look gorgeous and even be playable on not-too-unreasonable hardware. But there are some games that have an inherent capability to expand to take advantage of higher resolutions and improved rendering as the technology progressed. Would Slashdot like to suggest other titles that, although consigned to multipacks and bargain bins, have aged well and are even more beautiful in their old age, on modern systems, than they ever could be at the time of their release?" This may be subtly different to titles with "Olympian system requirements" at time of release, a category that definitely includes Ultima IX.

I'm still playing "make sound work in KDE"!

I've noticed that Mario 64 uses a higher resolution and some better special effects (fading, for instance) running on my computer with the emulator than it does on the N64.

My Bush bashing is patriotic. His NASA agency keeps sending his primitive weapons disguised as space probes to rove over my pristine Martian plains. My duty as Mars Defense Minister is to oppose his every imperial attempt to colonize my planet. Earthling robots go home!
