Super Mario Kart
Goldeneye after that

The only reason 007 isn't above SMK is because 007 - kill someone, camp the one of a few respawn points on the board. We played one hit kills and well, you were screwed.

Do you play seriously?

It gets harder and harder to find people who play fighters seriously.

Get on Capcom vs SNK 2:EO on XBox Live! I'll play you. :) I call my XBox the Capcom vs SNK 2:EO machine because that's all I play on it. And I play on it quite a bit. :)

Yup. GoldenEye FTW. But yeah, all the Mario Karts and Super Smash Brother games are also great. Donkey Konga is also a great party game. And a honourable mention should go for the mini-games from Pokemon Stadium.

Goldeneye FTL!
Goldeneye was great, but Perfect Dark for the N64 took it down. My top five goes in order: Perfect Dark (N64), Goldeneye (N64), Halo 2 (Xbox), Super Smash Bros. (N64), Mario Kart Double Dash (Cube).

God do I hate Goldeneye.

Never understood the hype. N64 pretty much blew IMO and the controller sucked.

I was probably playing 16+ player Quake DM, CTF, TF, FvF etc at the time everyone had hard-ons over Goldeneye.

I liked Mario Kart a lot, and the Smash Bros games are pretty fun though I've only played them a few times.

Wow, I'm surprised that got mentioned. My brother got that game for Christmas and I used to play it all the time.

I also thoroughly enjoyed multiplayer Goldeneye, and Secret of Mana is a good game. On the not so obvious side, I had a lot of fun playing Super Mario World as a kid with a friend of mine.
