I never had any of the consoles, so playing SNES and NES classics now makes me realise that most of the C64 and Amiga games were quite poo poo.

yarp. maybe 5% of video games are any good. of those maybe 1% have any replay value.

There are a lot of good nes/snes games but they are more difficult to play on modern systems because tv latency is much higher for lcds than crts.

secret of mana, final fantasy 6 (aka final fantasy 3 US) for the snes and chrono trigger are rated very highly because of how cool the gameplay and story were

secret of mana, however, had the best gameplay and probably has the most replay value out of all of them

JRPGs age extremely poorly because they don't offer any gameplay beyond picking options from menus and are entirely dependent on the console's graphical ability for their entertainment value

i suspect the reason old-as-gently caress pc rpgs hold up better than their wretched console equivalents is just processing power

late 1980s pcs had horrible, horrible graphics, but they typically had 640 kb of ram, and they had a pretty fast processor (e.g. a 286), and they all had persistent storage, even if it was floppies, so savegames were a thing

the snes had excellent graphics, but a horribly slow cpu and only 128 kb of ram. also no persistent storage

you weren't gonna get ssi gold box games, or starflight, or what have you

rpgs just didn't fuckin fit onto the system, unless they were crippled stupid wrecks like jrpgs

chrono trigger was a nice experience, just not fun enough as a game to warrant spending an entire day playing through. but it has still aged quite nicely given that it came out about 24 years ago

i tried on chrono trigger about ten years ago because a friend raved about it

i concluded he had a terrible case of nostalgia glasses

that poo poo is horrendously loving dumb, even for children's entertainment. the music is terrible. and it is piss boring.

it's just a really bad game

did not hold up at all

i played chrono trigger in an emulator on a linux. i could see how people were impressed with it in the 1990s because it looked and sounded really good for the era but holy poo poo, what for want of a better word I shall term the "plot" was terrible.
