Or: people who play new games in this style :) two examples I've enjoyed very much are Lorn's Lure and ULTRAKILL.

You can have my Project 1999 when you pry it from my cold, dead, fingers.

Old Graphics =/= Bad Graphics

edit: furthermore old =/= bad. Old is a quantitative measure and bad is qualitative. Trying to use one measure as the litmus for the other is like saying "there are five apples on that tree, they must taste terrible."

inb4: i dont care if it isnt a perfect analogy and there's actually some study somewhere that showed that apple trees that retain prime number multiples of fruit on their branches statistically taste worse when rated on a blind taste test.

There's a charm to early 3D. Late 2D is a timeless look, but early 3D is unmistakably mid 90s to early 2000s stuff.

I've been running the original Resident Evil trilogy. The graphics age it, of course, but the games are just awesome. Resources are limited. You have to consider what's worth wasting ammo on. You have to consider if you've done enough to justify a save. The puzzles aren't terribly difficult, but they're satisfying. And I love a good old fashioned jump scare.

It’s cute that people think those are low res graphics.

It's almost like mechanics trumps graphics.

See Dwarf Fortress.

Not really? I would love to play complex game like df or cataclysm with good 3d graphics.
