this was insane when it came out as it was the first time you could see your pokemon in 3D, and battle them. having an announcer call out the attacks was really cool, some of the animations are still better than the modern games, although with lower resolution. it feels like the attacks have lots of "impact". definitely better to import your own pokemon from the games if you play it though, as the ones that are in the games have very mediocre movesets. the minigames are also very fun.
2000
one of the few rpgs on the N64 but one of the best at the time. lots of cool mechanics, new worlds, new characters for the mario franchise. the paper aesthetic was odd at the time but it works. lots of charm and lots of fun.
2001
definitely a unique game, almost like a mature rated banjo-kazooie, with Rare's 90's toilet humor and their attempt at making a platformer seem "cool" i guess? there's a bunch of movie references, light swearing and weird scenarios, worth a playthrough once, though the platforming isn't as good as Banjo or Mario titles.
1996
the classic mario kart entry. lots of fun with friends.
this is a direct sequel to Ocarina of Time, and it is right there on the same level, and might even surpass it. some gamers get put off by the timer in the background, but the sense of impending doom is a deliberate design choice and definitely plays heavily in the atmosphere that's present. this world feels more populated and has more 'history' to it than OoT does and there's a lot of weirdness that makes it almost feel like bit of a dream at times. it's incredible that they were able to make this in such a short amount of time and have it turn out this good, even with re-using many assets. definitely a must-play for zelda fans.
1996
fantastic 3D platformer, It was a huge graphical leap when it released. i remember playing this alot at my relative's house as we helped each other cleared the levels, then I would go home and try to do it myself. you can even jump in and just mess around and that's when you know the game is designed well mechanically.
1997
lots of fun playing with friends. the singleplayer is alright but the multiplayer is where it shines. it kinda clunky going back to it nowadays but you can still find some fun there.
a surprisingly good platformer with some cool mechanics, you can get different powers by changing your outfit. I found it difficult as a kid but this would probably be a breeze for older gamers. lots of hidden stuff on each stage. cool classic Disney design.
1994
pretty good racing game, feels very 80's with the polygonal designs. feels kinda slow compared to something like an f-zero but fun nonetheless.
1991
didn't really enjoy this, it was hard and unforgiving. the premise from the manual is cool but the game is a bit too basic and requires lots of trial and error.
1994
I didn't get sucked into this game the first 2 times I tried to play it due to superficial reasons but after i gave it a good chance it has become one of my favorites in the franchise and across JRPGs as a whole.
It has one of the most thrilling and epic stories among Final Fantasy titles, with a large cast of diverse, memorable characters. Each character plays slightly differently and the game's magic and accessory system allows for a good amount of customization. I feel the pacing of the story beats is well done, with moments of increasing action and interspersed moments of downtime, before heading into the next conflict.
each character's personal struggles pull the story along in different directions but returns to the overarching plotline to remind you of what you're fighting for. moments of humor are woven in here and there contrasting with the bleak reality the characters see themselves in.
FF6 has always felt a little difficult to me in comparison to FF7 or FF9, unless you take the time to grind as some sections have noticeably stronger enemies, although having good knowledge of the game and appropriate strategies definitely helps with this. This is a personal issue however and i wouldn't hesitate to recommend FF6 to anyone remotely interested in it, though it does feel it's age compared to it's contemporaries.

1997
I didn't play this until years after it released but it remains one of my favorite jrpg's of all time. really like the world and the characters. the diesel-punk weird 80's industrial aesthetic is totally my jam. it's kinda easy compared to other final fantasy titles but i think it's one reason i return to it so often
1992
It was decent, i haven't played the series beyond this one and not a huge fighting game fan but i enjoyed when younger. could not figure out the controls back then for the life of me.
1995
One of the best classic JRPGs by the squaresoft dream team. definitely a must-play.
1996
it's a good collection of kirby games, something similar to the mario all-stars collection though i prefer mario title when it comes to platformers. still a pretty good game though.
