Have you tried playing on one recently? The framerate is shocking, it's amazing how back in the day you just don't even think about those things but try playing Goldeneye now, I can't do it.
I worked on the XBLA HD remake of Perfect Dark (which was a lot of fun) and we played on the original version in preparation. The difference is unbelievable framerate-wise.
It was a brilliant console though, takes me back to some of my favourite days of my life.
I play mine regularly.
Mario Party, WWF No Mercy, Mario Kart, Perfect Dark all still get played.
Drinking Mario Party is literally the best drinking game I've ever played.
What? No Zelda, Goldeneye Micro machines or Mario64?????
You need to get more with it!
I have all them and played the shit out of them. I've played through Ocarina of Time 4 times (if you include the master quest)
The ones I listed are the ones I still go back and play regularly. Zelda and mario aren't really games you can pick up and play for an hour and not touch again for a few weeks.
Goldeneye was first, but Perfect Dark is actually a much better game
