Recommended N64 games

[Veknoid_Outcast]

So many! In terms of the ratio of great games to total games, N64, to me, is the best system ever.

 

• Super Mario 64: a revolutionary 3D platformer with spectacular level design, controls, and music
• Wave Race 64: a realistic and challenging racer with amazing water physics
• Star Fox 64: a short single-player campaign is mitigated by branching paths and fun multiplayer options
• Sin & Punishment: one of the best rail shooters ever made despite a rather cryptic story
• Mario Kart 64: a well-balanced racer that increases in fun as more players join - especially in battle mode
• The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time: arguably the best game ever made, Ocarina features deep, engaging gameplay, expertly-designed dungeons, and amazing sound design
• The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask: darker and stranger than Ocarina, Majora is a masterpiece in its own right
• Turok: Dinosaur Hunter: an atmospheric and violent shooter focused on exploration 
• Turok 2: Seeds of Evil: larger and gorier than its predecessor, Turok 2 boasts huge environments, plenty of crazy weapons, and lots of sinister enemies
• World Driver Championship: while not as complex or detailed as Gran Turismo, WDC remains a stellar sim racer
• Body Harvest: a proto-Grand Theft Auto focused on an alien invastion of Earth
• Blast Corps: an unusual and addictive vehicular destruction game
• Jet Force Gemini: advanced artificial intelligence, smart boss design, and a strong soundtrack combine to make the best third-person shooter on N64
• Donkey Kong 64: not for everyone, but a worthy purchase for action platformer and "collectathon" fans.
• Diddy Kong Racing: the best kart racer on N64, with an entertaining single-player campaign and several vehicle options
• WCW/nWo Revenge: this game - and its predecessor World Tour - are two of the best and deepest wrestling games of the fifth generation
• Wipeout 64: although its track list is relatively small, Wipout 64 features awesome track design, atmosphere, and sound
• F-Zero X: dozens of tracks and racers make F-Zero X a superior futuristic racer with tons of replay value
• Banjo-Kazooie: a 3D platformer that rivals Nintendo's best, Banjo-Kazooie has style and substance to spare
• Banjo-Tooie: an ambitious open-world platformer, Tooie introduces new worlds, moves, and ideas to an already outstanding formula
• GoldenEye 007: a seminal console shooter with a long campaign and legendary multiplayer options
• Perfect Dark: with an original sci-fi storyline, a co-op  mode, and customizable multiplayer options, Perfect Dark manages to improve upon its spiritual prequel
• Star Wars: Rogue Squadron: graphically beautiful and tough as nails, Rogue Squadron is a must for fans of Star Wars and arcade-style flight games
• Fighters Destiny: it might have some boring characters, but this fighter's unique scoring system makes it one of the best brawlers on N64
• Rayman 2: an imaginative and diverse 3D platformer from genius designer Michel Ancel
• Conker's Bad Fur Day: Rare's swan song for N64 is a subversive action platformer with gore and profanity galore
• Paper Mario: it might be a touch on the easy side, but it's also a charming and accessible RPG with a unique visual style
• Mario Tennis: sure, it's not realistic, but Mario Tennis is arcade sports bliss, especially with a few friends in tow
• Excitebike 64: one of the industry's finest motocross racing games, Excitebike boasts stunning controls, physics, graphics, and tracks

These are just some of the games worth playing on N64. Good hunting!
