No expansion pack meant no Majora's Mask and no Perfect Dark. Nobody should have cared about DK64.

I suspet the answer has something to do with use. At one point, I actually thought the controlls for Goldeneye rocked.

I am going to try to emulate some of my N64 games, just the ones I have lying around. And see how they compare on PC vs. Console. First a foremost, my controller is superior to the N64 one. And second, I can run Goldeneye at a steady 60 FPS.

When my friend and I were playing Sonic 3 (on Sonic Mega Collection disc) a couple weeks ago, he continually remarked how the bright colors and the emerald stages made him dizzy and made his eyes hurt.

I used to play Turok for about 10 minutes before I had to turn it off. Everything bobbed. The view, the weapon, the muzzle.. For the first time in my life I thought I was going to throw up playing a game.

Banjo-Tooie had a low framerate as well. Towards the end, it got so bad it was almost unplayable. Couldn't finish the game a second time.

I've been doing that, I've got a PC controller very similar to a PS2 controller and it's actually very fun to play. I've played a ton of PD, and if I can find a few more controllers, I'm thinking about playing multiplayer. But how do you run GE at 60 FPS? The emulator I use emulates everything, even the framerate, so I play PD just as I would on an N64..

I know that there are some GE and PD mods for Half-Life, but I never got around to try them...
