Favorite can be a tough thing to decide on. The N64 was my first video game console and it is something that was and still is a very big part of my life. If I were to equate "favorite" with "most quality title" then it would most likely be Ocarina of Time with Mario 64 not far behind.

That being said, if I were to pick the game that I have spent the most amount of time playing then it probably would have been Smash Bros when I was a kid. I have also spent a ton of time playing Shadows of the Empire not necessarily because it was a great game but because I find it strangely addictive as an adult and quite challenging trying to beat the game on the harder difficulty settings.

If I were to pick the game that I have the most nostalgia towards then it would probably would have to be Yoshi's Story, probably more-so because of where my life was at the time and the memories that playing it brings back to me.  If I had picked up Yoshi's Story for the first time today, I doubt that I would be so forgiving of the game's obvious drawbacks.

So in short, it is hard for me to decide on a single favorite.  I picked Ocarina in the poll mainly because it hits on high on the list in terms of game quality, my time spent with the game (at least 6 play-throughs between the regular and Master Quest) as well overall nostalgia and is probably my overall #1.
