With Chrono Trigger taking gold in the SNES poll, it's time for Nintendo's 5th gen console to take the stand.

Now, let's address the elephant in the room right away; Rare's games are second party, as they were co-owned by Nintendo at the time, so I have not included them in this poll.

So, which game do you think deserves the title of best third party game on the Nintendo 64?

Harvest Moon 64 or Rayman 2

Ogre Battle 64 easily.

Man, funny it took this pole to make me realize how much better nintendos 1st party studios were back then. Mostly because of rare. KI gold, conkers bfd, goldeneye, Only game i probably played more than these was mario kart. Hey nintendo, maybe try and employ the guys making yuka-laylee???

Anyway, i might have to go with Star Wars shadow of the empire. Having trouble thinking of anything 3rd party i enjoyed more. Really enjoyed everything about that game.

I voted for Rogue Squadron...

It has to be either Pro Skater 2 or Rogue Squadron.

Harvest Moon 64.

This one was much harder than the SNES list, as there were less clear front-runners among the all-time/favourite lists.

Had to make some tough calls to fit within the 10 option limit of VGChartz, so regrettably, there were many games that came close but ultimately landed in the "other" section, like Space Station Silicon Valley, Harvest Moon, Ogre Battle, Bomberman, and Shadows of the Empire.

Harvest Moon most likely

Shadow Man
