Killing Mario Kart 64 cause it was overrated, clunky and Diddy Kong Racing was better in almost every way

Killing some wresting games for no other reason than they don't interest me and you can't stop me.

We are all NOT comparing consoles or other systems, because it is EXCLUSIVELY related to N64 and it's games...so comparisons with PC etc shouldn't be considered.
It's more about killing games you loved (hence ...kill my babies)....and thinking about them as how good they were 'at the time' , not how they hold up in comparison to other games 20 years on.
But that's the game I guess
No, the whole thread is a bit of fun. You can give any reason no matter how dumb as long as you give a reason.
Anyway I don't think it's unfair to give Goldeneye some stick. The framerate really is terrible and contemporaries, not just on PC, at the time might not be as innovative but they remain far more fun to play as they hold up better. It's great for it's time and was a trend setter but it's not fun to play now. Good games don't age.

I can see its flaws, but name a console FPS released around the same time that's still fun to play?
Doom or exhumed on the Saturn. Also on N64 the Turok games are still a lot of fun. They get a lot of stick now undeservedly. The only issue I'd have is the ****ty platforming sections in the first game. The recent rereleaes by nightdive have been great as well.

The N64 had very few good games but the ones that were good were very good. The list is already Sophie's choice for me.... with one exception.
Goodbye conkers bad fur day. It's up there with dk64 as a game that excentuates every sin of rare platforms at the time. Lots of bad level and mission design... some good as well but not enough of that. The big problem is the so called humour. It never extends beyond cute animals swearing and drink. It's basically Ted without any punchlines.
Fight me.

Retronauts had an episode on it. It was a very ugly game using the horrible donkey Kong country rendering technique so managed to look even worse than the first game on SNES. Also if you played it as a straight platformer it was very easy and could be beaten in 2 hours. It never clicked with me.
However the person on Retronauts said there was tonnes of hidden stuff in it. It wasn't about finishing levels but exploring them which would unlock lots more hidden stuff. The mechanics to do this however were kind of obtuse and you needed the manual to figure it out.
I'd like to try it again and play it properly but I doubt it will match the original.
It definitely got a euro release but reviewed poorly. Most reviewers didn't realise how to play it properly and said it was a game for babies. After hearing how to play it properly I can't really blame them for thinking that way!

Disruptor on Playstation. Great campy sci-fi FMV sequences and a really fun, if basic, shooter which still holds up because it focused on the Doom template for the most part and played to the limitations of the system.
Think it was one of Insomniac Games first releases too, and it still looks half-decent.

Doom on the Saturn was indeed disgraceful but the plays ration port was great and doom 64 was really good.
I played turk on pc and n64 recently and was surprised it was quite a lot of fun.
Goldeneye on the other hand I find it hard to go back to. The framers is criminal and there's a few really badly designed levels. The tank level on particular is a total stinker.

It was no F-zero but I really liked it.
Was actually saying recently, the best Episode 1 based game was probably the arcade "Pod Racer" game, with the dual thruster controls.0 -

I was dumbfounded the PS2 kept the 2 controller port design after how well the N64 did. Meant the PS2 was never really used for multiplayer while the Xbox and especially the Gamecube was dragged out to every party.

Bomberman 64. A decent bomberman game. Lousy single player but who the hell plays that. the main issue is it's only 4 player. not a patch on 10 player Saturn bomberman or even 5 player bomberman '93 on the PC Engine/Turbografx 16.
