Best N64 game not made by Nintendo or Rare?

That’s the one. (If we’re not doing second party devs, otherwise GE007 by far).

Ogre Battle 64 was easily the third party game I spent the most time with by far on the N64. I am an RPG guy and this was the only exclusive RPG on a Nintendo home console I liked until the Wii.

There was also Wrestlemania 2000 - which is my favourite non-Japanese pro-wrestling game of the generation... and the second last generation where I actually liked pro-wrestling (and fighting) games. After the PS2 gen, I lost interest in the fighting genre almost kind of like how I lost interest in beat em ups after the early 16-but genre... yet still somehow love to play all the classics to this day.

Since we’re not including second party (which are technically third party, just Nintendo lingo for their Dream Team) Then that means no Factor 5, DMA/Rockstar, and Iguana Entertainment, or Rare games. Even though, technically, some of them broke away during the gen, particularly DMA spent most of the gen fulfilling a contract of creating games for the N64 and had already broken away from exclusivity putting GTA on PSX and PC.
