Whatever the James Bond game was on the GameCube. It has a grappling hook that let you sling around like Spider-Man. I think I had more fun with that than I did with Golden Eye, as ridiculous as it was.

Vector Man on Genesis is also one I liked a lot, that I don’t hear much about.

Pretty much everything on candystand.com as well. There were a bunch of (probably flash) web games made by LifeSaver. It’s all anyone did in my high school during computer lab and seemingly lost to time. Instead of a game site with ads, the whole game was an ad, so it just felt like a candy theme.

Agent under fire and nightfire. The local multiplayer in those games was so fun.

Candystand! What a blast. Billiards, bowling, golf, pinball...great stuff. Yahoo came out with a similar set of web based games years later but they didn't have the same feel as candystand.com.
