10 PS1 Games That Still Look Good In 2018

10. Tempest X3 (1996)

A PlayStation port of the Atari Jaguar's Tempest 2000, Tempest X3 evokes the sort of flashy, chaotic sensibilities of early arcade classics. It doesn't stand out because of its expertly-rendered models or over-the-top visual detail, but the game's bright colors and pseudo-Vectrex appeal make it memorable.

A nonstop assault on the senses, this title is about as colorful as they come, and it's so visually unique that, two decades after release, it's still being talked about. As an added bonus, the game's upbeat techno soundtrack is one of the most well-regarded of the era.

Many wannabe arcade games of this timeframe have fallen by the wayside, but Tempest X3 is still respected as a cult video game success story.

Outdone in the modern era only by twitch titles like Pac-man Championship Edition, games like Tempest X3 need to make a comeback. Today's HD resolution would turn this game into an unforgettable experience, and too many resources are currently being wasted on generating true-to-life looking dirt and mortar textures.
