Would I want them remastered? Maybe, depending on the title, but I would prefer evolution of the franchise rather than remakes. – but this is how I remember them originally and probably why I have a deep affection for my retro games collection. Modern games highlight issues that were present in older generation titles – cheating AI, overly difficult/unfair gameplay elements, awkward controls, lack of checkpoints, etc. I’m not so blinkered to think they are all better than new games but, of the games I have re-played, they have aged well in most regards. Many more still stand the test of time simply because age rarely affects great gameplay. GoldenEye 007 is still great fun to play and the ‘C’ buttons allow for strafing giving an adequate alternative to a secondary control stick.į-Zero X is still as fast and smooth as I remembered, with an amazing soundtrack, and Wave Race 64 probably still has some of the best wave effects and ‘feel’ of being on water (even though I prefer its sequel). The games are absolutely playable and, once you’ve adjusted to the angular graphics and control schemes, it is the gameplay that really shines through.

This is on original hardware and a 15″ CRT TV using S-Video connections. This week’s Hot Topic is quite pertinent as I’ve been going through a N64 playing stage for the last month or so. I know there were remakes but the original, to me at least, will always be the best. It’s a fantastic game and absolutely holds up. I picked it up on the Mega Drive Mini and found it to be just as playable as ever. I had it as a young teen when it came out and my brother and I would play it together regularly. I had a think about this and there could be only one answer: ToeJam & Earl on the Mega Drive. I suppose Sonic Mania quality pixel art with better art direction then All-Stars had, and perhaps some bonus levels, but the main game is pretty much perfect as is. I can’t think of much I’d change with another remake. 3 has already been remade as part of Super Mario All-Stars, but though it has nicer 16-bit pixel art, the art direction is not as good (backgrounds in the underground areas and the final world, I especially find less appealing) so I generally tend to play the original. The graphics are not going to knock anyone out but they are good late NES era graphics, with excellent art design that help them hold up. It has astonishing variety in its level and enemy design, it’s not overly difficult, with a very generous item storage system, has lots of secrets to find (quite a few like the white Toad house I suspect many never did) and is still perhaps the greatest 2D platformer ever made. It’s not my favourite game on the NES (that’d be Zelda 2), but some now take issue with Zelda’s difficulty, and it is a bit rough round the edges.
