i got my 64 in 97 at that time everyone was rating the playstation to be the best game console ever maybe they are right!!!!!!!!!! but game like donkey kong 64 and perfect dark , zelda , turok ,mario and 007 some how keep the nintendo fans loyal these games were fun enough for kids yet challaging enough for and adult, i love perfect dark and at that time i felt like this was the best fps ever i still think so i have a ps2 now yet i have never gotten rid of my 64 its that good perfect dark is one of my perfect collection , i will tell any one even if ps1, mauled 64 because of it's games variation 64 is still the console for a true gamer most play station titles are easy by far so maybe thats why it was more popular, perfect dark is the gamers game.
