And to think, it even lost its own console war, despite having a vastly superior library to the PSX
I only had a N64 that generation and my first introduction to Playstation was the PS2. Despite that, this still makes me say what?! PS1 has a fantastic library.
To your question though, I do think some titles have aged very well. Smash Bros, Mario Kart (and all Mario sports titles) ,Zelda, and Star Fox are still fantastic. Others haven't been so lucky like Jet Force Gemini, Quest 64, and Goldeneye.

Quest 64
was a crap game back then.
the 64 had no good RPGs. that was really the only big draw the PS1 had on me.

RPGs (and Koei games) is why SNES wins for me. I've never been that into multiplayer tho.

Well, the problem is, the console wars is not how it used to be. Most of these were on the 360 as well. If there's a system remembered this generation, it will be the Wii due to its uniqueness and how it pushed gaming. 30 years from now, no one will remember the PS3 or the 360, but I think the Wii will be somewhat remembered for its uniqueness.

Really, its only aged well if you were an RPG player. The PSX was an incredible console for RPGs. If you weren't into that, then the PSX has probably aged worse than any other successful console. No one in college carries their Playstation or its games with them. People are itching to play Goldeneye, Smash Bros, and Mariokart though.

Both those games sucked back then. Its not among the N64's great titles. It's like listing Superman 64 as a famous good Nintendo game.
You can make a case for Goldeneye though.

one of my alltime favorite underrated masterpieces..
thats what always bothered me about the 64. the snes had so many great RPGs, and all that business jumped ship to sony.

I know Quest 64 isn't loved (I liked it though), but Jet Force Gemini is definitely very popular. IGN liked it enough to include in their overall top 25 (placed 20th) N64 games. [link=(uk.ign64.ign.com/articles/080/080843p1.html)]LINK[/link]

Or a racing player or a fighter player or a platformer player or horror player.
What the PS1 had over the N64 was just an incredible amount of great titles across all genres. The N64 has some that we still consider masterpieces to this day, but there's no depth.

Aerobiz Supersonic's in my SNES right now. 
(Find any more Dukes to your liking?)

There is plenty of depth to the N64's game list.

I carried mine to college.
But I get what you are saying, most of the college aged group wants to play those select titles for the N64. I had an N64 and PS1 so I got the best of both worlds. I do know a lot of my friends got an N64 and never got to experience a PS1.
If you haven't played some of the platformers for the PS1, like Tomba or Klonoa, you should. They are a blast.

The N64's game library is very tiny compared to the other consoles of the time. However, almost every game is a quality game (I know Superman sucks).

I juuuuuuuust ended a huge Beach Boys binge, so I should probably give POB a thorough listening.

There are plenty of great games for the console, just not a lot of depth by comparison.
I know using reviews is an imperfect measurement, but if you order PS1 and N64 by best to worst (I did for all games with at least 5 reviews), it takes 1.5 pages to get past all games rated 80% or higher. It takes 3.5 pages to get to the same mark for PS1.

N64
