1998: THQ releases Quest 64 for N64 in the US. The game uses an unconventional level-up system. For instance, if your character gets beat up, they gain hit points. Little do they know, these hit points are really just scar tissue that will one day require surgical removal and skin grafting.

1999: Nintendo releases Mario Golf for N64 in Japan. The series never worked logically: Mario has absolutely NO leisure time available with the flighty Princess getting kidnapped all the time. Though, all those gold coins could certainly fund the country club lifestyle.

Mmm, good old days... Can remember quite well those hot summer nights playing Quest 64. This game was great.
