Wave Race, both Zelda games and Perfect Dark were my most played games for sure. Perfect Dark was awesome with bots if you had the expansion pack.
We were a Wave Race and Diddy Kong Racing household. Everyone use to fight over who got to be the pink racer because she was “faster.” I don’t think any of us actually confirmed that.
Goldeneye was the best fps game I'd played up to that point, especially for same room multiplayer. Like it was one of those games that was head and shoulders above the rest at the time and really stood out.
Then Perfect Dark came along and made Goldeneye almost unplayable because it was just better in every way.
Though all of this was while game devs were still figuring out controls for FPS games. I think Halo was the one that figured it out decently for controllers. Nintendo still had Metroid Prime in its future during the N64 era, which is an interesting game in that I consider it one of the best out there but the controls were awful.
