Any guesses on what they could be playing?

I would have assumed Goldeneye, but that looks like the cartridge on the floor there.

Likely Mario Kart 64. Came out the same year as GoldenEye and they look too chill for an fps.

You can literally see the Goldeneye cartridge on the floor next to the 64. So unless they have two copies, they’re not playing it for sure.

Dunno if your app put your reply on the wrong comment but the person you responded to used the same evidence you found to suggest a game other than Goldeneye

That's a good guess. They also look too casual for Mario Party, but too serious for something like Donkey Kong 64.

There's no memory expansion pack, so this is likely before Q4 '99.

I'm trying to figure out what the black strips are on the cartridge. Maybe it is taped together? I don't remember any games with that color pattern.

I don't remember any cartridge colored like that either. I bet it's tape from a rental store.

Most likely true, no evidence of a fist fight yet.

It's likely a fighting game, look at how some of them are going there hands over the right side. Classic arcade hand positions.

Diddy Kong Racing then?
