I really didn't have any of these games side by side at the time. I would occasionally go to the arcade and when I played games on my N64 they would seem a tad inferior hardware wise overall to the top of the line (1-2 in an arcade) but also different games (Mario Kart 64 and Diddy Kong for racers which weren't in arcades). I really didn't feel like I missed something in the hardware gaps of this period at all and the high end Sega games yall purr over didn't define the arcade experience to me at the time at all (and still don't), but to each his own. Hell I couldn't even get any of my friends to go to the arcade with me past 95/PSX release. They would rather play their PSX.
