Did anyone even play the 64 game? My friends and i didnt, but we absolutely destroyed the first game.

Might also be a generational thing.

    I was a part of the N64 generation, we played the hell out of it. I recall my one college roommate getting really hooked to it after I brought my N64 to our apartment too.

    My neighbor comes over and we jam out on retro games. I learned that the generation after mine were super into Diddy Kong Racing on the N64. My friends and i were too old for that game, we were waverace and oo7 addicts.

    We've demolished Diddy Kong Racing in the past couple of months. I have to say it's one of the best racers of its time.

    The amount of unlockable races, characters with actual different stats, boss races, time trials, an extra world, multiple vehicles, open world, four tiers of in race items, unlockable characters, and an entire second quest... It's a damn fine game that ive personally grown to love more than the tech demo that was Wave Race 64.

    I mean, the 64 game is memed to death for good reason. I remember playing the hell out of it when I was a kid, my son used to fall asleep to Let's Plays, and now he and I play it on Virtual Console together.

    4 player battle arena was amazing, I had one friend who was annoyingly good with the tank and would routinely annihilate us with it, to the point where it was briefly banned in SF64 multiplayer in our group. Same friend showed me how to save Falco in the first mission, effectively unlocking the other half of the game for me. Fun, incredibly quotable campaign. I don't have the same sentimental attachment to it that I do for, say, the Legend of Zelda games, but I do have a lot of fun memories associated with it.

    Yes. I got medals on all 15 stages in Expert Mode. Then my cart disappeared. I assume someone from my dorm took it.

    And I was 17 when the first one came out (which I also had), so not a generational thing in my case.

    Star fox and rogue squadron were probably my top games for the n64. Diddy Kong racing was right up there with them, and mario tennis and shadows of the empire rounding out the top 5. I think that most of the people I knew with n64s were in agreement on the star fox game being one of the best.
