A few of the classics (Punch Out, Dragon Warrior 4, SMB3, etc) still hold up and interest my kids, but the jank of the era was bad elsewhere. Many games also seem like the mother of all cliches to modern eyes, which of course they are. Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy 4, and Dragon Quest 3 all come to mind: they can't have as big of an impact anymore. The playstation and later eras generally hold up pretty well for anyone who doesn't require modern-looking graphics. People going back to the PS-PS2 can generally recognize the era had a good emphasis on storylines and gameplay (as opposed to blowing budgets on graphics). --- Pronounced "Whup-pot". Say it.
