The N64 was my first full game console I ever had. I got it for Christmas in 96. It's kind of surreal to look back on it and see how it was less successful than the Playstation. Nintendo really cornered the kids demographic at the time I guess. Most of the kids I knew in my school had an N64, and I didn't know the PS1 was a thing until after FF7 came out. Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, Smash Bros, and Goldeneye were what everyone knew. Multiplayer Bomberman 64 and Chameleon Twist were also games I played a lot.
One of the most memorable games for me was Mischief Makers. My dad brought home a copy of it from the pawn shop randomly one day (he ran it and would bring home games people sold there sometimes). I had absolutely no idea what it was, but it blew my mind once I got into it. The aesthetics and voice acting were my favorite parts at the time. The transforming robots and some of other boss fights were insanely cool to me. A lot of it it pretty cheesy looking back on it, but kids love shit like that. "To punish evil forces, I have returned!" is burned into my brain.
