Post your favourite old-school video games that had unreal graphics at the time.

for me it's the half-life series the engine they used was good I remember spending a few months just messing around because the game is so good I don't wanna finish it but I still want to progress little bit.

I don't know about this one but I think halo 2 was pretty decent as well and max Payne series

left 4 dead too.

let me know your pick and I might try it for old times sake

Sublogic Flight Simulator

Saw it for the first time on an Apple II. This is a computer which could barely do animated sprites.

And here it was doing wireframe 3D graphics in real time and a half-decent aerodynamic simulation at the same time.

Version 2 added recognizable geographic scenery (Chicago, Midway airport, Lake Michigan, Sears Tower) and an instrument panel including VOR indicators.

All this in 1979 (1983 for V2). A year before Battlezone and Pac-Man. More than a decade before Wolfenstein 3D.
