I recently tried to replay Baldur's Gate, and almost immediately threw my hands up in horror at the incredibly out-dated interface and gave up. The game has aged horrendously.
I've never played Planescape, and I fully intend to do so someday. The essential question is not whether I should play it, but how much I am willing to pay to play it. And part of that is: has it aged well?

I first played Planescape only a few years ago; I never got around to playing it when it first came out.
Graphics are very, very, very dated. The resolution is like 640xwhatever. The screen size you walk on before having to scroll is pretty small.
Maybe there are graphics patches, I don't know. However, if you're a fan of CRPGs at all, definitely grab the game. The characters and plot are hands-down the best I've seen in this genre, and I'd say are definitely in the top tier of games of all time.
I amuse myself.
Greatest CRPG in human history set for re-release at dubious price

Eh... they have production costs, and apparently there's still a demand.

BG2 & its expansion were superb, but I somehow missed Planescape. *NM*
