System Shock 2 is not early 3d. People using that term for games released in late nineties are like mongoloids calling Kotor the first PC crpg.

There was a certain type of eye cancer inducing lowest common denominator 3D that stopped being made after 2002 or so (Simon 3D, PtD), but maybe the term "bad" would be more appropriate than "early".

Hm, I wonder if those liking the early 3D look were young when it was all the rage, and such games were their first ones. Like those who love CGA are probably the kids of 80s, and so on. Honestly, I can't see any other explanations for liking it, it's hideous.

Nigga, please. My first games had CGA graphics and were played on monochrome display. Still I like screenshots in OP. Graphic serviceable, not headache-inducing and have a certain charm.

I think bad font is more repulsive than bad graphic.
I look on you, WarWizard!

Early 3d occasionally has its benefits. System Shock 2 for instance, the low-poly visuals actually give the enemies a more eerie nightmarish look imo, it left a lot for the imagination.

SS2 was already into the realm of good or decent 3D. When I say early 3D was the worst I am pretty much focusing on super early PS1 style bullshit.

System Shock 2 was mid-period 3D, but it had crappy character models due to Irrational being misled into thinking they had a lower poly budget than they actually had.

Well, my first games was some later EGA ones (but mostly VGA), and I find earlier 3D pig disgusting.

But gotta agree with you on the fonts, bad kerning and unsuitable fonts are sometimes worse than ugly graphics style. Especially if the game is text-heavy. I mean, just look at BG:EE.
