If you can stomach NeoGAG, this is a phenomenal thread. Many of my favorite games of all time fit into one of these crazy categories.
It's also interesting to me how the old sprite or early 3d-based games are fascinating looking, while all of the post-2000 polygonal stuff appears boring as hell. It's like, "changing game aesthetis over time, the thread". Especially the super contemporary titles-- they hold absolutely zero aesthetic appeal to me.
