I must most emphatically disagree with your stated position. While i have great respect for you as a fellow human being and wish nothing but good things upon your person, I believe there are one or two inadvertent falsehoods or exaggerations in your preceding statement which render significant portions of it incorrect (from my admittedly limited perspective). I would like to discuss these discrepancies with you further in the spirit of mutually beneficial inquiry if you are of a mind?

None of those are in the same league as the top 5 N64 games (Ocarina, Mario, Goldeneye, Smash, (pick one: Mario Kart/Majora's Mask/Perfect Dark/Rogue Squadron). You could make an argument that Metal Gear Solid was an important and noteworthy game, but none of the rest were remotely innovative.
I could (and did) play co-op Diablo I with my gf on PS1, an experience which has yet to be matched
