Mario64. I mean there isnt another one like it. I mean like final fantasy and stuff u go to so many places but with mario u got a big castel with prolly over 50 rooms or so and out side stuff and levels inside levels i mean who ever created it was a genius. it takes at least 2 minutes to get from the basement to the top of the castel even i find it amazing. Also were u can be in one level and then go in a tube and then make everything way bigger or smaller that level is the one with the giant fish in it. Its to good for words i think who also finds this as good as i found it because i think it blows almsot ne other game level wise out of the water they just got the most widest varity of levels i have ever played in it

Mario 64 was just like Halo how it set such a high bar for the rest of the games to compete against. I think i beat it like 4 times before i stopped playing it. But all in all i don't like Mario games because plumbers scare me worst than midgets.
Yeah it really set a new standard by which all other adventure games would be compared. I too beat it several times, I think Zelda: Ocarina of Time was nice translation for the zelda series from its usual overhead view to the complex 3-D world. I really want to get the gamecube with the four legend of zelda games on it!! its only like $100 which is a sweet deal if you think about it! I also discovered all the little secrets and weird stuff that you could find and do in Mario 64...

Many believed that the game would be shown at E3 this year; unfortunately it was not. Nintendo claimed that the innovation in the game had to be kept a secret, and thus, they decided it was not appropriate to show the game.
Here are some other bar setting games in my opinion
Doom and Duke Nukem 3-D: without which we wouldl've never played 007 or Halo
Mario 64: Sweetest, longest, biggest, and best looking game of it's time
Zelda: Ocorina of Time: What a master piece, talk about a game that can really take you to another world. Big world, fun side missions, good story line, and innovative with the time travel thing. Good cinematics, too.
007 Goldeneye: This was it. The first game that actually got my adrenaline pumping. The multi-player was all my friends and I would do. Not to mention all the unlockable guns, levels, and characters. The levels are big and there are plenty of them. As far as replay value, one word.......Facility.
Metal Gear Solid: I would go to bed at night thinking of sneaking up on somebody from behind and choking them out. When this game came out it was all I could think of, with it's conspiracy, stealth, and awesome characters and bosses.
Halo: Where in the world did this game come from? There was no warning of this game, no game before it had anywhere near the perfection of Halo so there was no way of knowing perfection was even possible. With it's beautiful and lucious environments, huge levels, innovative game-play, and story-line about a bad-ass this game can't loose. The multi-player alone would have been good enough for me. I get together with a ton of friends and we play CTF or Slayer or one of the many other ways you can modify the multi-player for hours and hours on end. I could go on and on about how awesome Halo is, but it's pretty much known by everyone by now.
Morrowind: This is like Mario 64 on acid. The world is huuuuuuge. You can fully customizs characters, ware anything, eat anything, read anything, kill anything, and pretty much do anything you want in this game and it will usually result in leveling up. This game was out for about a year before I played it, for some reason it didn't apeal to me, but when I did I couldn't believe the freedom of doing and being anything. Zelda took you to another world, Morrowing let you create it.
Splinter Cell: This was like Halo, the first time I looked at a screen shot I was like "YES".Splinter Cell is just so beautiful with it's real-time lighting and realistic features like the buildings and the people.I'm a huge action fan, but I'm an even bigger stealth fan and this game did it for me. Sam can do anything, you name it Sam does it. This game was so tense at times and I would come so close to getting caught that you would think it was real.

when I first laid hands on the n64 display at blockbuster video, I got this incredible feeling from mario 64. I cant even describe the goodness of that feeling. It was like I knew the reason why I was a gamer again. Sheer amazement, mario 64 is , and always will be one of my favorite games of all time.
