Yeah, I'm old enough to remember seeing Mario 64 on the real deal back in the day, and screenshots in magazines, and yes, the N64's graphics somehow looked awful and blurry, despite the 3D. I thought the PlayStation's graphics looked a lot cleaner, although the triangles were prone to "buckling" when close-up.
I don't like most consoles, having tried a PlayStation and finding the games too expensive, I remember spending ages looking for one that I would like in 1997, settled on Command and Conquer played with a controller, and that was after I'd played it on the PC - however, I wouldn't have minded a SNES, the graphics on that reminded me of a blend of Amiga OCS and AGA.
