I was obviously being sarcastic, but why do you think those games were trash? They were all really quite revolutionary for their time. Compared to modern games they suck, but for that generation of games, they were unmatched in graphics and mechanics.

zero of them held my interest back then, and zero of them hold my interest today. it didn't help that the machine was janky and the controller was a shitshow. just an all around wreck of a console. every single game was ugly as sin and many of them i literally can't watch without getting sick.

I guess you have the attention span of a gnat to not hold the interest of a single one of those games, especially since they span a wide range of genres. I would also be curious to know what games released during that generation looked better. My first step into those 3d worlds blew my mind, and captivated me at the potential future of gaming. If there was something else during that time that looked as good, I would love to hear it.

Maybe they get motion sickness from the early 3d rendering?

Idk. I love n64, weird as it is.
