Even minecraft has better graphics than this.In that the whole thing dosen't look like a bunch of paper masche soldiers fighting.
Nothing beats good ol' ET. So good there are over 3 million copies entombed in concrete in a New Mexico desert!
I'd say it was fine for its time. Release it say, ten years later and it would have been laughed at by whatever technological marvels were available in the mid-80's. Edit: Don't worry, I get your logic - I hope
I see a slight problem with this thread: 1. People may judge a game by standards that could not be met at the time that they were created. 2. People may misjudge the purpose of the game and what the graphics purpose was. 3. People may misjudge in making the game seem like it should have better graphics when it is simply not possible between what can be created by the developers and what the gaming community's consoles can handle. Two and three are especially true for games like Minecraft. Two is self-explainitory in consideration of Minecraft, but three holds true since not as many computers can handle moderate graphics with a game like Minecraft. That is to say, take graphics like those in Skyrim and think of how long it takes to load. Now try to apply those graphics to a game as massive as Minecraft. Remember that the computer GENERATES the world. It is not set places for things like mountains or rivers. I am no computer expert, but I am sure that most PCs probably could not handle something so massive and complex.
ET was criticized as looking like shit as well as generally being shit at the time of it's release. It's really hard to argue with 3 million copies dumped in the middle of a desert before making Atari go bankrupt.
It's made up of two colours, black and white. There are 5 things that can change: the score for both players, the bats and the ball, which happens to be a block. Maybe it was very early on. But from the title, I assumed we were looking for the game with the worst graphics of all time, and that's it. Then it's pong.
It's not that bad for the nineties. @ Kali - While roguelikes may not be the most aesthetically beautiful of games, there are a lot of rogue likes with awesome gameplay, lasting into the tens, or even hundreds of hours. Plus they are generally free. (Dwarf fortress, and liberal crime squad as examples)
@ComradeLer Well look at most of the games that came out in the late 90's they had much better graphics even if they were made by smaller companies. Like look at the low budget game Mortyr.It's not a good game by any standards but the graphics are much better than Alien Anarchy or whatever it's called.
Yeah Ace of Spades really does look awful, and I know it's supposed to look so but it's so damn simple it's not even fun to play.
