What does „aged really well“ mean in that context? Like games that went good and then bad when It got older?
If that’s the case then that would be Fortnite because it got boring

StarCraft Brood War game is like 23 years old and still got 20k active players online most days
also got remastered a few years back and now supports up to 4k resolution

Playing Kirby's Return to Dream Land with friends is the funniest experience ever!
it just means games that are still good to this day like Skyrim or even games that got better over the years like No Mans SkyAireunaeus wrote:

The visuals are outdated as hell, but it's very fun and I still enjoy it 21 years later.

A lot of late 90s-early 2000s 2D games, they aged much better than 3D games of that time.
idk maybe mario bros ds the game is still the same as the switch version but different levels lol

Several Mario games aged well too, like New Super Mario Bros and Super Mario Galaxy, the latter even looks graphically decent to this date.
Super Paper Mario also aged extremely well, to the point that several of its quotes are still valid today and possibly the next decade.

Well, the flash games really aged well in the early days. i know, some games still exists with html5 but still. It doesn't feel the same after flash disappeared.
If I think of flash games on a quality level, most of them definitely didn't hold up till now. My feelings towards a flash game are mostly just nostalgia over appreciation of the game being good.Aireunaeus wrote:

Yeah, a few of them were really cool and still hold up to this day but most were bad even for their time. We just remember the good times we had back then.Stomiks wrote:

Despite the smaller playerbase, Xonotic and 0 A.D., two open-source video games, have aged very well in terms of age. 0 A.D. started out as a mod for Age of Empires II in 2000-2001 (For those who like RTS games). After a few years, they would make it their own, and then they would release the source code under an FSF (Free Software Foundation) license (I think GPL if I'm not mistaken).
Xonotic is a GPL 2 licensed Arena Deathmatch shooter using the Darkplaces engine, a fork of the Quake version of Id Tech 1. For those that like Unreal Tournament, this one is a good alternative to consider. It's currently on 0.8.5, but it is super smooth, and good for lower-end hardware if done right.
In terms of proprietary games, I could probably say Tekken 5 Dark Resurrection, Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus (both the OG and R), which are fighting games, PC Building Simulator and Game Dev Tycoon, which are simulation games, SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle For Bikini Bottom and the Jak and Daxter series, all Collect-a-thon 3D Platformers, and, of course, you can't forget NES Tetris (there's the Classic Tetris World Championship [CTWC] which is the game's esport).

seemingly non kid friendly website/game i know (besides genius) that allows kids
For some reason I thought you had to be at least 13 to make a Osu account.179bpm wrote:

Why would you think it's not kid friendly though? It's a game about clicking circles to the beat, a baby could play it.
Honestly a lot of SNES games aged super well. If I didn't know anything about Yoshi's Island and you told me it was made in like 2005 or something I'd probably believe you.
Can't say the same about most early 3D titles from late 90's - early 2000s. It's kind of astounding how fast technology has improved in 3D games.

100% agree with this.
I would also say that most of GBA games aged really well too.
Most of the NES library has aged significantly well also.

these are absolutely perfect and very enjoyable games to me; final fantasy feels very calming and simple, comparing it with modern rpg maker games & castlevania gives you an insane challenge (especially circle of the moon) even nowadays after beating hollow knight steel soul or dead cells bc5

Graphically speaking, TF2 and Crysis two games which were both released in 2007 have aged beautifully. And who could forget about osu!? the old graphics are charming and the gameplay is as relevant as ever!
