What are your favorite "ugly" games? (lemmy.ml)

I enjoy Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup played in the terminal with ASCII graphics. I wonder whether there are other hidden gems out there which don't get attention because they are "ugly"?

I always thought Quake was pretty ugly, great fun though. And I guess much of it was probably supposed to be ugly.

I always digged the earthy colour tones. Combined with the level designs it's a cozy feeling game.

I dunno compared to other games of a similar or younger vintage like UT2004, that I had a ton of fun with at the time but looking back they have aged like milk in terms of aesthetics and core gameplay... I think the quake games actually have aged very well.
