Goldeneye and Perfect Dark spanked most PC offerings? Nah man.
They're not even the best N64 FPS games. Turok 2 and Rage Wars are much more fun.

And the PC FPS offerings at the time crushed anything on the N64 (or the PS1. The PS1 FPS library was just bad). I'm saying that as a massive fan of the N64 FPS library.

OoT was the most memorable console game of the gen. (PS1 library is so overrated). But Starcraft Brood war is by far the most memorable game of the generation.

I was just wondering which PC game you would put above Goldeneye in 1997? Like I can't think off any? Only FPS I can think off are like quake and heretic. 007 was the first shooter I played with like objectives and missions etc. I may have of course missed something back in '97

I'm talking about the entire generation not just 97. I think the first Jedi Knight was out by then but I don't remember the campaign all that well. But as you said, Quake was out and the multiplayer in that game blew away Goldeneye's multiplayer.When people talk about Goledeneye they usually go on and on about how fun it was to play locally with friends but games like Quake did multiplayer better.

Also, the controls is another issue I have with them. Goldeneye (and Perfect Dark) were incredibly good games for their time but they both were gimped by the incredibly weird design of walking and aiming with the same stick. That made them so annoying to play compared to other N64 games that did it right (Turok) and almost unplayable comared to mouse look games.

Still blows anything on the PS1 out of the water though.



I LOVE ICELAND!
