Well, I'm sorry. when I think of classic video games, I think of stuff I played on Atari, Nintendo, SNES, Genesis or game boy (and a few other systems).
To me, the video game classics all live in the 16 bit or below world. When Playstation and N64 came out, a whole new generation of videos games came a long with it. It's not that they're not classics, it's just that there's thousands of games that came out before them.
Given the short history of videogaming, Mario64 is indeed a classic game, just not of the original generation. Is it one of the best games of all time? no. I don't think so. there's better games. It was enjoyable, but not as enjoyable as 8 bit. Sorry folks. I turned onto computer gaming when N64 came out. I'm not much of a modern gamer. I still play NES, SNES, and Genesis more than any other modern gaming system.
