Great choice, OP. I would go with the blazoned Spyro (1,2,3) >>4877820 but that's easy mode, really. Some old FPS had great pixel arts, imho. Especially my favorite, Heretic.

Ratchet & Clank is the first coming on top of my mind. Great trilogy / tetralogy, and the skyboxes are proud Insomniac hallmarks. inb4 not retro; it's PS2, not that shallow remake

Unreal did a few great ones. I also still remember the chill I got in Half Life coming out of that pipe with the desert and mountains spread out in front of me. A river so far off it looked tiny. Then a jet screams by. Good skybox, GREAT moment.

>>4880328
I've seen lots of PS2 games here so i was pretty confident. Turns out it's not retro and everyone that said otherwise, like me, was wrong. Thank you for being polite though, unlike people like him >>4881682 who have an urge of showing off how much of a dickhead he is, just for the sake of being a true edgy 4chan kid. fyi, i didn't post only that. I was the same one who posted about Tekken 3, Unreal and Heretic. Now between us, who's the 17yo summerfag? Go back to /v/, maybe it's for the better.

The rules are generally 'bent' pretty often. In general, it seems mods/janitors don't intervene as long as the discussion stays MOSTLY on retro games.

Also, back on topic - I think Half Life's skyboxes are pretty neat. Here's a video on them.
