    Surprisingly this is the first Nintendo game to make it on to my list but it's definitely one of my favourites. Lylat Wars (as it was called in PAL territories and what I've always referred to it as) was one of several N64 that I played with my brothers and cousins in 4-player multiplayer. Even though you had tiny space on the screen to see your character (and TVs were much smaller then) you could still clearly tell what was happening and everyone just went into their own zone. We endlessly played the Battle Royale mode over all the others as we liked each other being killed off rather then winning by any other means.

    The single player was also great and not if only because of the voice acting. All the characters had voices that suited them perfectly (even if some were annoying) and all of them were delivered perfectly. I also wanted to get the highest medals in all the levels so I could unlock the extra multiplayer elements as, if you haven't realised, that was the biggest part of the game to me.

    Great list so far. I remember playing this game years ago, man I need to dig out my N64 again.
    Hope you have the dedication to finish all 365.

    Still have the cartdridge and my N64. I haven't gotten all the medals yet, I'm still stuck at two left. TWO LEFT.

    But I love this game.

    I still have this game and play it whenever I pull out my N64. It's probably still the best Star Fox game.
