For me Doom, Quake, Quake 2, Deus Ex (some may argue that its not a true fps) and halflife are all better than those two. but I'm one of those that thinks fps is perfectly suited to the PC

goldeneye was a great game especially for its time but in my opinion, it has aged horribly. i played it again and beat it for the first time last year but the controls are terrible now for my. i still play my 64 and all my other games still are as great as they were ten years ago, but goldeneye is not one of those games.  i never have liked pc shooters and goldeneye was my was to play a good shooter on a console.  it is still a great game and the reason there are so many great shooters on consoles nowadays.

Of course PC is best for FPS, but these games made the impossible possible.

Kos-mos, i think that was doom *but as i remember it didnt work so well on the snes.

*edit

Goldeneye did a couple huge things at the time:

Console FPS using a joystick.
Console FPS with 4-player splitscreen multiplayer.

Today, those things do not make it amazing but back then they did.

Whats up with going back in time? Try to pick it up now, i promise you, you wont play it for more than 5 mins.

Even quantum of solace pwns it now.

It was good THEN, but not NOW.  So take a cake and enjoy killzone 2 and call of duty.

Hey, what`s up with "old is bad" attitude? Go play yer half bad action games on 360 which is developed in two months. I`d prefer anything that is put efford in making either it`s old or new. Same shait goes with movies. I don`t eat cakes. I don`t like military shooter`s made for western auidence who thinks war is cool until they`re brains are like a vegetable after participating in a real war. Phew.

i play goldeneye alot still and i own games like halo 3, cod4, gears of war 1 and the orange box... i have to say goldeneye tops them all

It's not an "old is bad" attitude. 

It's simply a matter of taking off the nostalgia goggles and saying "What does this game offer me today that other games don't offer and then some?"  The answer really isn't that much besides remote/proximity mine hilarity. 

I hate these "Let's take our childhood favorite games and pit them against new ones" threads because I'd like to keep my nostalgia goggles on and remember them fondly.  Digging some of these games up and dragging them through the mud doesn't make me the least bit happy.

"What does this game offer me today that other games don't offer and then some?"

- some of the greatest multiplayer level design ever
- a single player campaign actually worth my time
- the variable heights of Jaws and Oddjob for hilarious handicaps
- a comforting lack of aliens and Nazis
- the most original cheats
