Well I know pretty much every game mentioned by people in the thread, but some of them were pretty easy choices for me to not put on the list. As far as Blast Corps goes... It's because I didn't find that there was much depth to the game (or graphics). You really just bulldoze stuff so the missile carrier arrived safely. It always seemed very... simple, conceptually. Don't get me wrong, running over stuff was fun, but on that note, if I were to extend the list to include one-track games, it would have been below Rampage: World Tour (monsters smashing the entire world, one city at a time > bulldozing buildings), which probably would have been like... #50-60. | ||

These games basically made up my n64 collection. I still to this day occasionally have have the soundtrack to certain maps from diddy kong racing stuck in my head. Then you too clearly have amazingly good taste in N64 games, and so you'd probably like Rayman as well. And here you go! | ||

HOHOOHOHOHOHOHO shit got intense when that game came up. the Metapod/kakuna one was sweet as well. often the winner would come out with the tiniest dot of hp left. | ||

I am indeed a huge Pokemon fan (the original Pokemon; I can't keep up with all the new versions), but I made the conscious decision to not put in Pokemon Stadium, despite how fun the minigames are. I find the standard tournament/ single-player mode to be very niche and slow, and while I did spend a lot of time with my brothers playing those minigames, I felt like the game wasn't supposed to revolve around the success of the minigames. (It's hardly a "party game", in the same sense that Mario Party, Mario Kart, Goldeneye 007, and Super Smash Bros. are "party games".) It was a happy coincidence, so to speak. I would put Pokemon Stadium around #20 though, just because of how cool everything ended up working out. That's just my personal take on the game though. I really enjoyed playing it as a kid, and I loooved Pokemon growing up | ||

I loved the co-op aspect for it - I remember trying to beat it countless times with my brother back in the day. | ||

I always felt like the FPSs on 64 were pretty lackluster, but this is probably because I had played the earliest FPSs on PC, which were generally just better for their time. Perfect Dark was pretty good, and I remember playing through the hardest diffuculty, but the multiplayer was always kinda meh. My friends all loved Goldeneye, but none of them had really experience PC gaming at that point. I'm glad Jet Force Gemini got a mention. That was probably the best sleeper game on the console. I remember getting it for my birthday because I couldn't think of anything else I wanted, and being blown away at how great the game turned out to be. My fondest memories are probably with Majora's Mask (another birthday gift). My birthday is in mid october, so the whole vibe of the game really seemed to fit that whole time of year (dead trees, halloween, etc.). I also felt like it was quite a bit more difficult than OoT, especially if you didn't use a walkthrough or anything. | ||

You could buy the Nintendo 3DS. I'm really happy with it, and it got the new version of Ocarina of Time, and there are (strong) rumours that says that they will release Majoras Mask as well! | ||
