I'm the opposite. I hated how SM64 controlled, couldn't get on with it until later 3D Mario games with better camera. TR however, perfect control. The game was grid based, same as the controls. Once you see the grid it became easy to puzzle out the steps needed to get to places. I never liked the reboot, too much combat and the controls are all on auto pilot nowadays. The early games had you plan out the steps to get to places, I miss that. It was more aerobatics than run and gun.

This was close to my experience.  I haven't played Tomb Raider since the 90's, but I remember it being a lot of fun.  SM64 was disappointing from the moment I first tried it.  I tried it again several years later on the DS and it still wasn't fun.  I think most of the people who really love SM64 are the ones who grew up with it.

If thats the case, then every retro game people love is just because they grew up with it. SM64 controls hold up. I grew up with Croc, but those controls are ass now.
