The PS1 was known for massive boatloads of shovelware, and easy games full of FMV ...

While people do not consider them quite as impressive as they once did, there are reasons why the best N64 games are still considered to be "good" by today's standards; and most people who go back to re-experience Playstation games on their Playstation (if it still works) find them unplayable.

Just like there are people who find old N64 games unplayable.
