For me it was Nintendo 64, Goldeneye sleepover party. Pure, unbridled, unadulterated happiness. A time with what felt like genuine acceptance and kindness.

Goldeneye was classic, but Perfect Dark was always better IMO.

Man, I wish Rare never sold themselves to Microsoft. They tried to get Nintendo involved and start a bidding war, but Nintendo didn't bite. Conker's Bad Fur Day is still perhaps my favourite game of all time, all the timely movie references, and the juxtoposition of a cutesy squirrel character actually being a hungover reprobate. I played so much of that teddies v French squirrels on the beach landing multiplayer.

I still dream about those parties. We would gather in the youth centre, supervised, with a digital projector borrowed from the school (with permission), in sleeping bags, lying on the floor, projecting onto the roof, staying up until 4am...

Slappers only, no Oddjob. ;)

No, usually it was: autoaim off, pistols, one-hit-kills, no Oddjob.

Projecting onto the roof is pure genius!

The youth centre was an old church (that the church had outgrown). So it had a huge white gabled roof at exactly the right angle for comfort. Was a blast
