Exhumed, no blurry textures.
I'm obviously mocking the N64 with that title, don't get fresh with me already guys!
Does perfect dark even count? Because technically that game came out after the 6th gen already started. So arguably its a 6th gen game. (the same thing might be said for medal of honor and quake II)
What no hexen on the list?! I'm joking lol. hmm not sure what to pick tho....
Quake 2 on the Ps1 looks surprisingly good much better than the N64 version with the expansion and has four player split screen. To be honest I could just as easily pick half the games on the list, but I don't think anyone is going to pick a Playstation game on this website.
You can find Hexen and a couple others here:

I firmly agree about your Quake II comments, that's why I demoted the N64 version to the other poll.
I picked Duke Nukem on the PS1, hehe, you don't need to feel guilty.
Despite the usual overhype about the Saturn version graphics, the PS1 version is far more faithful to the PC game containing all three original episodes, plus a new one. It doesn't have all the changes, cuts and simplifications that were done in the Saturn and it also has a neat quick saving feature. Besides the graphical cuts, the Saturn version also lacks several Duke voice samples, which detracts something from the original mood of the game. Aside from the frame rate, the PS1 version is usually criticized for having poor controls, which isnt true at all IMO. It's just that the default layout is a mess but if you use the "Doomed" config it controls like a dream. It's also dual shock compatible, using both analogs (some people also hate it, but IMO they are just too lazy to adapt to a different control scheme).
Duke was fun, played it on PC. I can't say much on the Saturn games as i sadly never got the system until like maybe a week ago. So I'm going to go with PD. I love how you change all the weapons for MP and make your own char, kind of, as well as all the maps and classic maps from golden eye. Change the setting to whatever you wanted no auto aim no raider one woot! I played that game until around 2009 with my friends and now the game and system is packed up and we play the on XBLA now.
Powerslave/Exhumed - its engine formed the basis of most good FPS games of the time.
This is a tough one. I think the Slave Driver engine is probably the most impressive considering it was coded by one guy who didn't even like the Saturn. Then again Quake II on PS1 is technically more impressive, unless the polygon counts were actually cut down to Quake 1 levels and we just can't tell. I also find Quake 1 on Saturn more technically impressive than Powerslave or Duke 3D, though Duke is a pretty close second for the Saturn.
