Blast Corps! There's really nothing else out there like it.

These are likely outdated by now, but it'll give you a good feel for Blast Corps:

Definitely second Mischief Makers as well. It has a lot of Gunstar Heroes inspiration from Treasure.

No one said Goldeneye?!

Took a while for me to get back into the controls last time i played but it was still solid fun.

Tried to make sure i didn't say anything that had been said before...

Battletanx: Global Assault, Dr Mario, Mario Parties, Jet Force Gemini, Kirby, Bio FREAKS(so bad it is good if that is your thing... ZIPPERHEAD MAKE YOU DEAD), BustaMove, Rampage, Star Wars Racer, Vigilante 8

Are all games i have gone back to in recent years and still had fun with.

Conker's Bad Fur Day
Banjo Kazooie/Tooie
Goldeneye 007
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time/Majora's Mask
Mario Kart 64
Paper Mario
Pokemon Puzzle League
Pokemon Snap (One of my favorite games of all time)
Star Fox 64
Super Mario 64

I could go on and on, but I'll stop here.  I've had so much fun with the N64.

For me, Super Smash Bros is so outdated compared to Melee that I can't play it anymore.  Or maybe it's the collector in me that hates destroying my joysticks.

Starcraft64

You should try Carmageddon 64



On a less awful note Donkey Kong 64 is till pretty good and Micro Machines 64 is worth checking out too

My vote is with Star Fox 64. One of my favorites of all time, I gotta play through it every other month or so.

I've recently learned that the EU version is much better than the North American version, like actually playable and enjoyable. Of course none are as good as the PC original.

Glad I'm not the only one.  I stated a high score thread in the Arena if you're interested!

Wow the US version must be horrific if it makes the EU version look good - which is without a doubt the worst game I've ever played.


Thought of another game: Perfect Dark - its a lot more playable when using 2 pads

thanks seno for mentioning perfect dark! not sure why no one else had until then, it's basically an upgraded version of goldeneye, besides the occassional frame rate issues it holds up better.

also why hasn't anyone mentioned super mario 64? i know it's the most common game but it holds up pretty well for me.

i'm not sure how many of these would hold up with modern gamers and how many are just nostalgia, but anyway here's my list:

Banjo Kazooie
Banjo Tooie
Beetle Adventure Racing (haven't played more than a few minutes but it seemed good and i've heard good things)
Blast Corps
Bust-A-Move series
Conker's Bad Fur Day
Cruis'n Series (these are just a ton of fun)
Diddy Kong Racing
Donkey Kong 64
Dr Mario 64
Extreme-G
Extreme-G 2
Flying Dragon (i'm not that big on fighting games but this one seemed good from a livestream someone did on here, it looked like an RPG fighting game.)
Gauntlet Legends
Jet Force Gemini
Kirby 64 The Crystal Shards
Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time
Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask
Mario Kart 64
Mario Party 2 (this seemed to be the best of the 3 n64 MP games)
Mario Tennis
Mischief Makers (heard good things, haven't played myself)
The New Tetris
Paper Mario
Perfect Dark
Pokemon Stadium 1 and 2 (if you don't like pokemon ignore this one)
Re-Volt (pretty fun RC racer, though i'm not sure how much i'd say it holds up today)
Rush series (classic arcade racing fun)
Space Invaders
Star Fox 64
Star Wars Episode 1 Racer
Super Mario 64
Super Smash Bros (if you only know melee and/or brawl, you may not like this one, the controls feel more "floaty" compared to the later games)
Tetrisphere
Tony Hawk Pro Skater series (i only know the original but enjoy it every time i go back to it)
Vigilante 8 and Vigilante 8: 2nd Offense (great vehicle combat series, loads of fun)
Worms Armageddon (the PC version is much better, but this one is still pretty awesome)
Yoshi's Story
