beautiful
Some games just look good. It doesn't matter that much what era they come from. A few games that still look good to me, and probably always will, are:
Demon Attack
Sonic the Hedgehog
Colony Wars
Castlevania SOTN
Radian Silvergun
the kid
Devil May Cry is pretty pretty.
DOAVB is good looking too, but in a different tingly way.

GET OUT OF THE WALLS CHEATER!!!
Astal for the Saturn is the most beautiful game ever made.
No Sega Saturn collection is complete without it. The 2D capabilities of the machine are what make Astal so gorgeous to look at.

I think Mario 3 looked way good fro the NES.
My vote for best looking SNES game it Yoshi's island.
PSX.....thats tough. Guilty Gear and Castlevania always will llok good due to the marvel of sprites (which it seems everyone but the people on this forum have forgotten about).
On the DC my vote it for Virtual On, that and Project Justice, they both look fantastic.
ANIMAL CROSSING!!!!!!
Steel Battalion is by fasr the best looking suX-box game out (and incedentally the only reason I own it).
MGS2 has my vote for the PS2, next up is GItaroo Man. It's one of those games where the graphics will always look good.
I am in fact the guy that made the Raisins prototype worth thousands less by dumping it. "D'oh!!"
Panzer Dragoon for Xbox or FFX for PS2.
Splinter Cell for XBOX
Street Fighter 3 Third Strike
Ikaruga
Samurai Shodown series
Guilty Gear X
Super Mario 3 / World / Yoshi's Island
Metal Slug series
2-D: Guilty Gear XX, Princess Crown
3-D: Metroid Prime, Panzer Dragoon Orta
In addition to Metal Slug, Ikaruga, VO:OT, and Castlevania SOTN:
Soul Calibur (DC) - still holds it's own against newer "128 bit" games
Rayman (PSX) - very pretty, one of the prettiest 2d games I've seen
Ridge Racer 64 - one of the finest on the N64
Summer/Winter/California Games (2600) - I didn't know a 2600 game could look so good
Gunstar Heros - excellence on the Genny
Guardian Heros - ditto on the Saturn
Axelay - ditto for SNES
@captain wrong
rayman is not a psx game, it's a pc game converted to psx, and it looks WAY better on pc
Yeah, I know that. I'm just talking about how good the PSX version looked on a console that was notorious for not being 2d friendly!
I haven't seen the PC version (or the Jag version for that matter) but what they got on the PSX was pretty impressive on it's own.
My pick overall for most beautiful would be Ico. Might not be strictly the best graphically (I've still think Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance is the best PS2 game I own graphically), but it's got beauty in spades.
Time will be when the broadest river dries
And the great cities wane and last descend
Into the dust, for all things have an end
hmmm... here is my list:
Tempest (arcade)
Rez
Panzer Dragoon series including Orta
Chrono Trigger
Lunar
Radiant Silvergun
Ikaruga
Michief Makers
Donkey Kong Country
Garou, Mark of the Wolves
Metal Slug series
The Last Blade series
Samurai Shodown series
....and a ton of others
gcn-metroid prime.

Luigi's Mansion is a visually stunning game. Every texture is absolutely perfect. In fact, I'm drooling just thinking about it.
Conform. Consume. Obey.
@ capt wrong: Rayman Jag version may be the best-looking game on that system! Some others IMO:
Dragon: Bruce Lee Story
Val D'Isere Skiing/Snowboarding
Super BurnOut
Pitfall: Mayan Adventure
Dino Dudes (cool level design)
Attack/Mutant Penguins (ditto)
& the old classic Myst.

Why would Mario 1 have a washed out appearance?

YEAH Yo son I'm glad someone said Astal yo word is bond that game is the shit, especially graphical like the Samsho-style scaling and shit. Actually, I don't think it's the best looking game on the Saturn, but I do think it's one of the best-looking, fun to play games on the Saturn. Best looking period would have to be Princess Crown. Sorry I don't have a screengrab.Astal for the Saturn is the most beautiful game ever made.
No Sega Saturn collection is complete without it. The 2D capabilities of the machine are what make Astal so gorgeous to look at.
Panzer Dragoon Orta. (Xbox) and Jet Set (Grind) Radio (Dreamcast)
PDO is breathtaking. JGR is a little dated, but still has some pretty damn good graphics for it's age.

Mickey Mania for the Megadrive/Genesis is beautiful. There are some really great effects in that game.
Shenmue 2 is brilliant too. Life like faces and a lifelike world. Every detail can be seen.
