Yeah, sprites look a bit ugly after playing more modern games, but I think the gameplay and the quality of the artwork can compensate for that ;)

It is fun to observe the evolution of graphics during the second half of the 1990's. First games start to include a few simple polygons here and there as an exotic feature (Dark Forces has a few). Then the places are switched and the sprites become the rare component... until in the end you have engines based entirely on polygons.

It all happened so fast - in about 3 - 4 years. And in the 1980's, nobody believed that the PC could ever be a good gaming platform ;)
