They sure are. Laird just needs a bit of work to forget the politics of gaming and just enjoy the games. I've been working on that for about a year!
There are very few games I enjoy the N64 and those are do are ruined by the controller.
There is more than enough Nintendo love in my life with my Wii

from my time as an N64 owner-Controller was ok once you got used to it, for things like:
Quake, Turok 2, Doom, Starfox, Blast Corps, Body Harvest, Banjo-K, Jet force Gem, Mario 64, but put it with something like Command and Conquer on N64 and you've an unplayable game.
I've a love/hate realationship with Nintendo hardware, nothing political, just in cases of systems i own like:GB+GBA, the screen issues render games unplayable (so i've always played the GBA stuff on the Micro and/or the GB Player for GC).
The SNES? whilst a technically better piece of hardware in areas of colours+sound than the MD, i've never felt was the leap it was proclaimed to be, been more than enough examples of MD clever programming replicating Mode 7 etc and SNES Mode 7 was'nt really all that, SNES games that really made use of it seemed to need an extra DSP to really pull it off and the MCD did scrolling in 2-Axis rather than SNES Mode 7's single axis (plus MCD enabled texture mapping), so whilst the MD had a fair crop of add-ons to prolong it's shelf life in terms of MCD, then 32X, SNES seemed to rely on DSP chips in carts to compensate for slow CPU, even before Argonaught looked at the SFX chip for 3D.
But no, as an N64 owner, i really enjoyed Goldeneye (once my eyes adjusted), Quake, Perfect dark, took me a while to get into Starfox, but it had me hooked, i treated it much like i did the Saturn, pick it up cheap, track down the exclusives and see what 'gels'.
Was always a bloody nightmare trying to find used games in good condition, let alone boxed+with instructions mind.
I've still the Big Box Starfox here along with few other N64 games, know i've still got Jet Force, anyone after them?

Nice find!
Hybrid Heaven was a very unusual game. I remember sinking hours into it then just stopping one day. I will have to check it out again as I remember so little about it!
