Last winter a group of us got together with a buddy who still had his old n64, we hooked it uo to a 42 in plasma and boy... what a riot it still was. It was amazing how much fun it still was, still easily one of the best FPS (atlaest for multiplayer) I have ever played.
Nothing beats proxy mines, in the facility, you only live once rules. And NO ODD JOB!

For comparison sake, an FPS from the same era that holds up tremendously is the original Half Life. Incredible leap forward in story telling and design in that genre that still plays well and doesn't make your eyes bleed. Solid AI as well.
I wouldn't argue that Goldeneye is still fun when you're sitting around drinking with a bunch of buddies and get bored and want a blast from the past. But compared to the top games from that era it has not held up at all from any standpoint, aside from the "Hell yeah let's play Goldeneye for old times sake!" point.
Another that holds up terribly is Super Smash Bros. on the N64, and I'm one of that game's biggest fans. It's been so far eclipsed by it's sequels that it's almost absurd to play the original when you have the option of a newer release.
