Wikipedia says
Graphically, results of the Nintendo cartridge system were mixed. The N64's graphics chip was capable of trilinear filtering, which allowed textures to look very smooth compared to the Saturn or the PlayStation. This was due to latter two using nearest-neighbor interpolation, resulting in textures that were pixelated.

However, the smaller storage size of ROM cartridges limited the number of available textures, resulting in games that had blurry graphics. This was caused by the liberal use of stretched, low-resolution textures, and was compounded by the N64's 4096-byte limit on a single texture. Some games, such as Super Mario 64, use a large amount of Gouraud shading or very simple textures to produce a cartoon-like image. This fit the themes of many games, and allowed this style of imagery a sharp look. Cartridges for some later games, such as Resident Evil 2 and Sin & Punishment: Successor of the Earth, featured more ROM space, allowing for more detailed graphics.

You mean that 3Dfx look? ;)
Thats 64x64 or 128x128 textures blurred when they are near the view, at least thats what they seem to me.
You can get that in modern games too if you set the texture reolution to low/very low.

This mod is intended to use GZDoom's hardware rendering, so users with texture filtering might be closer. Maybe I didnt understand right, but should I make 64x64 textures and stretch them?

Pretty much. I don't know about other games, but due to the way GE and PD do their mipmapping, it's impossible for a colored texture to be 64x64; you'll want to keep them around 64x32/32x64 at max. Grayscale textures can be up to 64x64, since they're smaller data-wise. The thing you're definitely going for is stretching them to about twice their size, except for the smaller details like trim, which can be used at their original size.
