48. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater (N64)

I love this game because the moment you pick up the controller, you are a superstar skater. I was never much of a skater, but back in the late 90's (especially in my years living in Orange County, California) everyone wanted to shred (even if they couldn't). Things like grinding, ollies, kickflips, the fabled 900... those were on the tongues of everyone around, and everyone wanted to be part of the skating action. And then Tony Hawk's Pro Staker came out, and it blew everyone's mind. Now anyone could be the greatest skater ever, and have a blast doing it. Finding all of the secrets, playing HORSE, going for that insane combo in Area 51... those were the simple pleasures of life. Tony Hawk's Pro Staker made me feel like I could do anything in the skating world, and I had a blast doing so.
