(Saw this question asked on another popular link aggregation website and it got me thinking)
If you could play one game for the first time all over again, what would you choose? This might be because you want to do it all again, or because you don't think you got enough out of it the first time. It could be experiencing the game exactly as you were back then, or experiencing a game with what you know now.
For me, it's Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past, experienced exactly as I was back in 1991.
Nothing comes close to how jaw-droppingly amazed I was by that opening sequence. The epic orchestral score, the cinematic rainstorm, creeping around in the dark... it was a generational leap above anything I'd played on 8-bit computers and consoles, and even the Megadrive. I'd love to play it again without thirty plus years of Nintendo/Zelda knowledge, or without knowing about the dark world.
Yep but on hardware of that era: PIII 1GHz, GeForce 3, 17" 1280x1024. I started the game recently but it was too empty and low-poly/low-rez (paradoxally at 1920x1080) with modern hardware.
You could try it with the hd mod, can't remember the name but looks decent enough
I know about it but it does not make it. It is more about feeling. strange because even Unreal tournament ('99) or Quake 3 holds pretty well today.
