telekill:
I didn't own an N64 during its lifespan for two reasons.
1. I saw the games as being more geared towards children and I was a teen at the time.
2. I absolutely hated the controller. I didn't know how to hold it half the time and the stick constantly broke on friend's systems.

That said, apparently I was wrong as the positives of the system were in the form of some of the games.... which actually matters in gaming.

1. The Zelda games. I didn't play these until I had gotten the Master Quest disc of OoT on Gamecube for preordering Wind Waker. I later got to play Majora's Mask by getting the Collector's Disc also on Gameccube. In fact, the Gamecube was my Zelda hay day. I had every game in the series (including Link to the Past due to my GBA Player) all the way through Twilight Princess (my favorite in the series). It quickly became my favorite Nintendo IP.

2. Goldeneye - Tons of fun with this. The multiplayer mode alone was well worth the agony of being destroyed by Odd Job regularly. Knives only was friendship destroying. But we always came back for more.

3. Killer Instinct - One of my favorite fighting games ever. I truly wish the more recent additions would have been put onto the Switch as MS seems to high five their little buddy occasionally. I used to be good enough at the 2nd in the Arcades that I could beat it on a single quarter. Fantastic fighter.
