Yeah, late nineties had some seriously great games. I sometimes get nostalgic for the gen before that too. The SNES in particular had mariokart, and we played a ton of that here. Me, my mom, my sister, and my partner at the time would just dog each other on it lol.
Strangely, I don't get much nostalgia for the older console games from when I was a kid. Now, arcade games, holy crap. I'd love to have pacman and centipede machines in particular, if I was stupid rich. There's something super immersive about the machines that doesn't hit the same with clones. Besides, the track ball on centipede was just so much a part of the gameplay that it isn't fun without it for me.
