Don't tell Nintendo, but as a kid I got a Nintendo 64 emulator running on the (at the time) newly upgraded family computer, and for some reason this was one of the games I played the most. My mom didn't like this game, my brother was too little to play, and I had no friends to call over, so I just spent loads of hours playing this, all alone. In that sense, this game holds a lot of nostalgia for me, despite being such a uniquely solitary experience, but being objective, this is not the best. The boards are pretty meh all things considered, the game is not balanced at all, and this one has those infamous palm-destroying minigames that were thankfully taken out of future entries. Despite all that, I still have a little soft-spot for this game, even if it's not all that amazing when compared to the rest of the series
