Not to flame but I would like to know why. The three days thing just annoyed me.

I loved Starcraft 64 a crap load as well. I remember every saturday I had bowling (Yeah i was in a bowling league) so I'd wake up, eat some cereal, beat starcraft 64 since it was so short, and then watch Dexters Lab before going to bowling... man I had a good life!

Now a days it's all tuition, school work, rent and taxes! Bah, Humbug!


EDIT:
Ahhh flashback time! Did anyone play Jet Force Gemini??

I had such a good time with this one!!
The dog was my favorite.

Let us bond together and cast down the ignorant.

Majora's Mask was far superior, in every facet of gameplay. OoT deserves the love it gets, but only because it was the first 3D Zelda game (to my knowledge). The gameplay, story, and graphics were inferior to Majora's Mask.
I have to agree. The atmosphere of the game was brilliant. The time limit never frustrated me, partly because I figured out the Song of Inverted Time pretty quick, and partly because I felt urgency in the limit rather than frustration. Then there was the fact that you're impersonating three dead persons through the transforming masks, the titular mask itself is creepy as hell, the boss fights are spectacular and tense, there's that damned scary alien abduction minigame (which actually gave me nightmares)...

I could probably sum up the whole game as "unnerving." About the closest to horror I can bring myself to play, and I loved it.

Then there's my memory of beating the game for the first time, finishing the Anju/Kafei sidequest, riding that particular emotional high, and ramming it down the freaky final boss' throat...


Other candidates, I'd say, would be Smash Brothers and Mystical Ninja.

Have to say Goldeneye, Ocarina of time and Banjo Kazooie.

Can't say I liked Perfect Dark, but then again I never played it with four people.

I agree with all said points though I wouldn't go as far to say OoT was inferior. I did like the challenge of trying to complete everything you could in the three days and I really liked how certain events would occur if you were in the right place at the right time.

My only complaint was the fact that I could never use Link's final mask. The end mini-game where you have to race around as the Goron. I could never, ever complete that...

It's only an opinion, everyone's entitled to one. You won't get a bad response to that unless you're on GameTrailers.com.
I thought the dungeons and bosses were far better in OoT and I have yet to complete MM since my damn game keeps crashing, but I like it.

I would have said Ocarina of Time, but I played that on the Gamecube first. So I'm going to say Mario Kart 64, it seems really underrated to me.

This.

Rarely ever had as much fun with a video game as I did with this one. 4 player splitscreen was 'teh shit' .
hell man, it still is. my friends and i have goldeneye matches all the time, last all damn night and into the morning too.

but i have to say perfect dark for a few reasons. for starters the laptop gun (more games need a laptop gun), great levels and missions (like rescuing an alien from area 51 and then flying through the halls on a hoverbike like a bat out of hell), good difficulty, counter-op and its the only game we (my friends and i) spend more time and booze on than goldeneye.
I have to go with Goldeneye...Perfect Dark was soo fun too. But I think it got over the top. When I could camp and shoot my friends through walls with the railgun, both them and I thought it was time to go back to Goldeneye. Although now that I think about it, I don't know if I can support Goldeneye...it was at least half the reason I was asked to not return to college for a second year. Oh, what am I saying I can't stay mad at it! *Hugs his Goldeneye cartridge*

007 Golden Eye
Toss up between that, Perfect Dark, Lylat Wars, Mario Kart, Smash Bros and Ocarina of time.

I'd probably say Perfect Dark, seeing as it was basically Goldeneye with ten times more things to do. Plus the visual design for it was awesome, it's a perfect exaample of how to exploit hardware limitations for your own gain.

Goldeneye by far... then I'd say Banjo Kazooie. Rare really did dominate the 64 in terms of games in my opinion.
