What are some games that were great for their time, or that you loved as a kid, but have aged poorly?

Need for Speed Most Wanted - Gamecube

It was fun ages ago but sometimes the graphics make it hard to see. I still play it because it's fun but it is really bad looking now. Was great in it's time tho.

Final Fantasy X- sold on the strength of its graphics. 15 years later, I think Silent Hill 2 looks better, in spite of using fog to obscure its limitations.

Deus Ex- great game, really, really hard to look at

Myst- once a graphical powerhouse, now just really slow and blocky

Grand Theft Auto IV- so... very... dark


Basically, anything pushed as a graphical powerhouse at the time doesn't hold up so well today. The only exception I can think of is Crysis, which came out in 2007, but still looks better than many XB1/PS4 titles.
