Luke wrote:. The N64 is probably my least played system
I sold my N64 and games a year or two ago and haven't regretted it one bit. The only games that really interest me on the system are readily available in some form or fashion on later Nintendo consoles, and most of them now have better sequels as well. Besides, when I play them on post-N64 hardware I am saved from using that horrendous controller.
I use one of those shark pads, which gets around the controller issue.
There are some.games I enjoyed at the time, but like you said have superior sequels. SSB and Mario Kart are good examples. I dont think the shooters have aged well either. While I loved Perfect Dark, Goldeneye, and Turok back in the day, they just dont stack up anymore.
Adding my two cents here, but the PS1 library is vastly superior to the N64 in almost every single category. It dominated just about every genre at the time, but especially in the RPG department - N64 doesn't even enter that conversation. The 64 has a few iconic games, though I would number those games at less than 25 that are actually worth playing. PS1 all day for me.

Hand to God I play my Virtual Boy a lot more than I play the 64. Jeez, to think of it, when I do play it, I only play 5% of the 64 games I own.

I'd be more than happy to give you $5 for your dust collector.
No way dude! I still play it a few times a year. But I would probably sell my Turock games to ya.

Why did people like those games?
Compare it to what else was available in the FPS genre on consoles from '97 to '99. Re-releases of Doom and dumbed-down versions of Quake, with Goldeneye being the sole bright spot. They benefited greatly from being in a small pool, and that's why the series died out in the 6th gen.

IMO, the N64 is better than the PS1 for first person shooters and 3D platformers. There are also solid racing games for each system, but the PS1 dominates all other genres (i.e., 2D platformers, 2.5D platformers, fighters, RPGs, shmups, survival horror, etc.).

I always enjoyed Turok more when I imagined I was playing Tupac: Dinosaur Killah.

Aparently shootin dinosaurs in a jungle full of fog was fun. The urge to find 5 keys on each level to enter the next was the thing that killed the game for me.
The best FPS on the N64 is Doom 64.
