MM6 has a great interface with tooltips describing every item and function. Kill yourself OP.

Is it possible they made two huge-ass borders with overly large icons just because the game would run like a slug if the first-person view was full 640x480?

it's an rpg, you don't need framerate. Alternatively, they could turn down the textures, or use a real engine

People were smarter in the 90s and gaming in general aimed for higher average age.

No, they had normal interfaces because gamers hadn't become the retarded special snowflake idiots that needed dumbed down everything and their hands held during the entire fucking game.

What is that status effect the characters have? I don't remember seeing it in the game, also the whole UI has different colors, is it a mod?

The fact that nobody has pointed this out yet gets to show you how little you guys know or care about these games.

Hello /r9k/, now get out.

Some had terrrible interface because a lot of refinements we take for granted today didn't exist yet. One more thing : games used to come with thorough manuals and reference cards with keyboard shortcuts to help you. So nope, there was no malice behind this.

Tbh, MM games in general do a decent job at having a clean UI for their time.

Now, if you want hard to navigate interface try games from the early 90s or older, like old Koei games, Caesar, Rings of Medusa...
