MODERATORS
Based on a study that shows most people remember the world as at its best when they were 12, I would guess OP is 38-40 Y/O.
I'd go with wipeout on PS1 but we can agree to disagree.
And I instantly now have that one song in my head with the vocals that sound like "heyyeyeyo!"
I don't see any extended ram pack in there... gonna get some slowdown when the explosions start flying
I've got the ram pack in my original one.. I'm down to three good controllers though, I should resolve that sooner rather than later.
Look at Richie Rich over here with their 4 official controllers, not one Mad Catz or "Game Controller" branded controller!
Mad catz? Haven't heard that name in a while.
Is it an unpopular opinion to say, that Perfect Dark had the better campaign and multiplayer?
Perfect Dark was better but GoldenEye was more influential.
I'm definitely team Perfect Dark but I understand why GoldenEye was more significant in the zeitgeist and features more predominantly in memes.
I can't comment on the campaign, but as basically an upgraded sequel with 3 extra years of development, that makes sense.
I didn't play Perfect Dark (multiplayer) until about a year after it came out. My immediate reaction was, "How can this exist? It's a direct ripoff of GoldenEye!" Only to discover that, "Yeah, it's made by the same people."
No. Perfect Dark was fucking excellent. And you could still play Temple and "Felicity"
Playing shooters using a joystick to aim is actual torture.
You'd rather use the four C Buttons to aim? Controllers don't exactly have a lot of options. Sure, the most accurate option is "trackball," but those were only on high end arcade cabinets and PCs at the time. Couldn't get any of them for under $300 USD. And lightguns woyld have needed more inputs on them than they had at the time, not to mention the N64 never had a lightgun peripheral for it to my knowledge.

Too bad the N64 mouse only launched with the 64DD in Japan then. Either way, GoldenEye could never be played with a mouse back then. It only took someone creating a special build of an emulator to get it to support it only within the last like 5 years.
THERES A MOD NOW?!
Yeah, GoldenEye (and Perfect Dark) with mouse injection has been around for a while. Same with TimeSplitters and Metroid Prime. Only for emulators on PC though.
This image is a fantasy.
No one had four grey controllers.
Show me some red, green and "translucent" purple.
Also one of the control sticks should be broken.
That's not four grey controllers.
That's one grey controllers and three grey d-pads.
That actually explains how Goro kept kicking my ass.
I've had twelve controllers and my original translucent purple one from when I bought it new is still the best one.
(i still have my original four grey controllers with rumble packs for the lot)
And you probably never had to blow into the cartridge to make it work.
Alternatively...
THE CHOSEN ONE!
...no, cartridges hadn't yet been invented for my first console and my first NES was actually the mid-nineties redesign, so i never experienced blowing dust off the contacts...
...i did get to play with ROM-swap developer cartridges on my atari 2600, though...
On a related note, they can now refurbish your N64 conrollers with mini GameCube joysticks and they're fucking SICK.
Theyre not as good as the original sticks though. Bigger deadzone and a different gate. Cool, but not a very accurate replacement. Steel Sticks is a better, if more exclusive, option.
That's pretty spot on for my experience. I only had 3: 1 gray, 1 red, and 1 translucent purple off brand.
(edit: the red one was the one with a drifty joystick, but for some reason it was my favorite)
We were grey, yellow, and offbrand black that had a semi-functional turbo mode and the joystick would reverse if you pushed too hard on it.
A 4th was always supplied by the rare potential 4th player
Stacks - Capture The Flag - Power Shotgons
Oddjob is banned. No exceptions.
Oddjob actually wasn't that bad once you realized he was at perfect headshot height when you crouched. I wrecked a lot of kids who thought Oddjob was a secret weapon.
Gauntlet Legends.
Timesplitters 2 also.
