Fighting Force 64 is one of those games that I wish spent just a little more time in development. The frame-rate can get pretty laggy at times, and there are times where you'll be pissed at just how long it may take your character to pick up an item - yet at the same time, the title is very reminiscent of greater beat 'em ups like Streets of Rage 2 or even many NES favorites, with the A and B buttons being the most commonly used. Still, the environments are fun, using the Z button in combination with A or B works well for special moves, the combat is highly addictive, and using a gun to shoot your enemies in the face right before chucking your pistol at them never gets old. Plus, the blood is a nice touch. It's not a classic, but I'll be damned if I'm not having a great time kicking ass in this.
Super Mario Kart is of course a classic. Not my favorite in the series, but it was the first of the Mario Kart titles that I had ever played, and it still stands up damn well, even against technically superior entries in the series. Double Dash!! is king though, no doubt about it.
