You go back and play it and suddenly you can't tell what something is in the distance and you remember how much it sucks to aim AND move with a single stick (don't get me started on C buttons for aim down sights)
I didn't grow up on it. It was indexed (effectively banned if you didn't order it as an import or if you lived right next to the border as we did, you could've just gotten it there, it's what everyone did pre-DRM) in Germany (maybe it still is, i don't know, they did take lots of games off the index in the last 10 years, including Doom). Besides, we were too young. I only recently started playing it. I tried it out before using an original N64 controller and that was terrible. Playing it with the Brawler64 is actually pretty fun and i feel it hasn't aged too badly.

Oh man Goldeneye was amazing. My entire 5th grade afternoons were spent pretending I was Pierce Brosnan.
