Been playing through old Dooms in prep for Dark Ages next month and Doom, Doom II and Doom 64 look amazing on an OLED. Doom 64 especially has really good use of color and lighting.
Those new rereleased of 1 and 2 are a great package. The art direction still remains unmatched.

Yeah, if we're talking about realistic graphics, this game won the prize by a country mile.

Capcom's output on the PS2 still looks really impressive to me, DMC1 and 3, Haunting Ground, Resident Evil Outbreak 1 and 2, all gorgeous games to this day.
A lot of PS2 stuff holds up very well in general, especially other survival horror games like Silent Hill 2, 3 and 4, the Fatal Frames, Rule of Rose etc or games like Death By Degrees and Rygar The Legendary Adventure, the trick seemed to be simply fixed camera angles, lock the camera down and you could have crazy amounts of detail beyond a normal game that even 20 years later is still impressive.
Tecmo's Xbox output is still gorgeous, Dead or Alive 3, 2 Ultimate, X, Ninja Gaiden Black, all gorgeous games still.
And I'm still gaga for how many GBA games look, there's just something about how GBA did pixel art that still looks amazing to me, recently I replayed Aria of Sorrow and I think it still looks gorgeous, similarly I've been playing through the DS Castlevanias recently and they still look amazing too, as does SOTN, great pixel art is evergreen.

I used to think this too untill i played The Getaway on Pcsx2 at 1080p.
I would say any game with cell shaded graphics from back in the day looks good today. any 3d game that tried to push technology back in the day ... not so much.
there is a reason why nintendo games looks good to this day. due to its cartoonish art style. it kinda doesn't get old etc.
Both it and Max Payne use phototextures and still look great. It depends on the game.

When you're playing a 16bit JRPG, and there's a scene where you have to climb a mountain, and when you finally get to the top you can see the village/forest below you in the background - they've redrawn it really small to make it look like it's far away, and there's a parallax scrolling effect. That shit is so simple but i still absolutely adore it every single time i see it because it's just so effective at creating an illusion of height and distance.
