Everything generation has its darling games that tie things off with a level of visuals that leaves players feeling like the consoles have been tapped out and new blood is required to raise the bar further.
The SNES and MegaDrive era waved goodbye having blown minds with Silicon Graphics and the introduction of 3D visuals, the 32 Bit era brought arcade accuracy much closer and evolved from basic 3D visuals to texture mapped titles with transparency effects and more, the 64 bit through 128 bit eras took us from fuzzy low res visuals all the way through to epic cinematic experiences whilst after that we've seen extensions of that with titles like God of War, Horizon, Alan Wake II etc.
But sometimes there are diamonds in the rough. Games that aren't necessarily the best games out there, or well remembered but were visually at least much better than they had any right to be.
What are the best looking retro games that have no right being as visually good as they are?
