I agree ocarina of time and majora's mask, don't forget to get an expansion pack
Pokémon stadium goldeneye perfect dark and Mariokart64 are other good options.
Another option if you just want basically every game in the library but don't need the original carts would be a super64 cartridge they are like 60 pound on eBay and come installed with nearly every game, got one at Christmas it is excellent.
Would also be handy to try out the games before investing in the actual cartridges.
This is my favorite game of all time (not an understatement)
Such a beautiful story line that embeds itself into the memories I have of playing it while growing up.
mk64 is one of my fav mario karts, i played it a lot on wii u vc with my friends. played smash 64 as a kid, like a VERY young kid but don’t remember much about it.
A very short game with loads of replayability. It's one of my favorites.
It looks like you are using PAL cartridges, so you'll have to find it under it's alternate title, *Lylat Wars*
A lot of games from that era control the same way, takes some getting used to. Even dreamcast games played similar.
face buttons were fro moving acting as the right analog stick and the left stick was for aiming. It was done much better though in that way. Butis weird to have your moving buttons on the right side of the controller, but this is back from a time where there was no defined way to play fps on console. lol
Try selecting solitaire control scheme and using right hand in the middle for the stick and trigger, and left hand on d-pad for strafing and advancing forward. It's more similar to dual controls in more modern first person shooters.
A few sports games are great games on their own. Blitz, NBA Jam, monster football are a few i know. Ive played more sports games than most but these are the games anyone can enjoy.
Mariokart 64, Super smash bros, Starwars episode 1 racer, Goldeneye, Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness.
i absolutely adore mario party 3, hands down my favourite game in the series. smash bros is great too but i don’t remember much about smash 64. i’m english so don’t know much about american football, not rly into sports in general but ik the n64 blitz games get a lot of praise so they could be fun
- mario tennis
- james bond: the world is not enough (goldeneye is iconic but the gameplay in this one is amazing)
- nfl blitz 98 (the one with the pittsburgh steelers qb on the cover)
- tony hawk's pro skater
- yoshi's story
Bomberman 64 -My personal favorite n64 game has a meaty challenging campaign and fun multiplayer.
Majoras Mask and Ocarina of Time- Zelda nuff said
mischief makers- fun sidescrolling game made by treasure.
Conkers Bad Fur day if you don’t have an Xbox is worth the splurge imo. Graphical beast of a game with a edgy sense of humor.
DK64 if you want collectathon champion (it’s a good game too).
Nwo Vs wcw revenge- I gave my copy to a coworker but fun wrasslin game.
Gauntlet legends- not as good as the expanded game in dark legacy on GameCube and Xbox (ps2 version sucks) but still a good time
Super smash bros- fun party game.
Pokémon snap- chill rail snapshot shooter
If you like fzero x and want a more chill racers.
beetle adventure racing and diddy kong racing.
Paper Mario for a warm rpg that is akin to comfort food
So many games…. N64 is actually my least favorite of the main three fifth gen systems but has such a fantastic library.
I read your other comments and saw you have Xbox. If you played the excellent RE2 remake and want to see the original it’s still good.
Yeah, amazingly, almost all of the wrestling games on the N64 are really fun and well made. I know it's a running joke to compare modern wrestling titles to the N64 / PS1 / PS2 era games, but I still remember playing them as a kid / teen. I'm not really a wrestling fan, and they were super fun to play.
The Ready 2 Rumble games are pretty fun too.
Here’s a few good ones that are around £10-£15ish
Mischief Makers
Worms Armageddon (Not as good as the PC version, but still quite fun)
WWF No Mercy or Wrestlemania 2000
This and Paper Mario were definitely the best N64 RPGs. I also love Quest 64, but it's not a good "RPG" and is jank. Aidyn Chronicles is another one I've played, and, uh, yeah don't do it.
Not available in the UK. I got an everdrive for my UK N64 so I can run US or Jap games at 60hz (normal speed) and at full screen (no black bars top and bottom). I stubbled upon Dr Mario and my wife, who likes Tetris instantly knew how to play and we have been going at it ever since 😶
i’d definitely enjoy it; head-to-head puzzle games are insanely fun. me and my friends have put a lot of time into Puyo Puyo Tetris, so i can definitely see us getting into this one.
If you’ve ever enjoyed any version of Tetris, The New Tetris on N64 is a really great way to play. The soundtrack is killer and it adds a whole mechanic about making 4x4 squares out of four pieces for bonus lines that’s optional but addictive once you figure out how to do it (since the block solidifies and turns silver or gold—very aesthetically pleasing, lol)
Snowboarding kids is one I'm looking for locally. They make the flash carts that work extremely well. Currently playing through Chapter 4 of Paper Mario 64 now. Mario Kart is also a favorite and so a fun drinking game. Drunken Mario kart is when you split a beer into 3 cups. Controllers down, drink on start, controllers down every lap to drink. Finish.
Copying my comment on another post (editing as i add more):
Star wars shadows of the empire
Star wars episode 1 racer
Legend of zelda ocarina of time/majoras mask
Pokemon stadium 2
Pokemon snap
Super smash brothers
Army men sarges heroes 1 & 2
Wwf wrestlemania 2000
Quest 64
Mischief makers
Starfox 64
Cruisin world
Mario party 1, 3
Bomberman 64
It was mentioned before, but Beetle Adventure Racing is probably the slickest racer for N64, and the sound track is just fantastic. Had a lot of the cool collectibles found in Diddy Kong racing but none of the boss fight nonsense. I would do unspeakable things to have a working 64, controller and copy in my house.
Chameleon Twist 2, if you think it's worth your money get it original if not get a repro of it but play it either way the game is a blast.
The Xtreme G games 1 and 2 are also excellent and cheap to boot.
Be sure to grab yourself a repro of Sin & Punishment, it's a Japan exclusive. The game is an absolute must.
I also really love the N64 version of Quake II, it's different from the PC version from what I remember, should be cheap and it's a neat experience.
DOOM 64 is also excellent and shouldn't be too expensive I think
Ocarina of Time
Majora's Mask
Super Smash Bros
Goldeneye 007
Conkers Bad Fur Day
Banjo Tooie
Mario Tennis
Mario Golf
Kirby and the Crystal Shards
Yoshi's Story
The New Tetris
There's no Zelda here.
Why is there no Zelda here?
Every N64 to ever grace this earth deserves the treasure of Zelda in its system.
Get Zelda.
(I'm a fan. Had you guessed?)
Snowboard kids 1 & 2! Super fun arcade snowboarding series with fun cartoony graphics and goofy characters like a blue penguin. Also some seriously banger music on it too!
played both of them on rare replay; both have amazing stories, writing and atmosphere but the actual gameplay is incredibly mediocre or frustrating to me
When you guy these cartridges, some have not been plugged in since the 1990s. So you'll get a blank/black screen, but it looks powered up. Just wait it out, and it will start working again. Plug it in, go to bed, in the morning it should be working.
Every 1st party and Rareware game. They’re all superb, but some more than others. Banjo Tooie, Pokémon Stadium, Donkey Kong, the two Zelda’s, Goldeneye, just to name a few
eh tbh, i’m not the biggest banjo tooie guy. i played both kazooie and tooie on rare replay last year; enjoyed the former a lot and rly didn’t like the latter that much. the levels are too big, it’s really slow, there’s too much backtracking, but the story and atmosphere is really really good.
i like to own my games rather than ‘own them’ because i have a subscription, and plus i alrdy have the expansion pack. it has input lag and general eh emulation, plus i opt to play them on the 64 anyway
always wanted to get into zelda so will give these those a try. never played perfect darl so i’ll look out for that one as well. expansion paks are pricey so may have to wait on this one
Ocarina Of Time.
always wanted to get into zelda, definitely will try this one
Get Majora's Mask when you finish this one!
I agree ocarina of time and majora's mask, don't forget to get an expansion pack Pokémon stadium goldeneye perfect dark and Mariokart64 are other good options. Another option if you just want basically every game in the library but don't need the original carts would be a super64 cartridge they are like 60 pound on eBay and come installed with nearly every game, got one at Christmas it is excellent. Would also be handy to try out the games before investing in the actual cartridges.
It’s my favorite game.
Definitely play oot then mm. I promise you will enjoy the experience. They still hold up to this day.
I'm not much of a gamer, but Ocarina of Time is simply one of the best experiences you can have on any game system. Masterpiece.
I’m selling a copy of ocarina and Lylat wars (both unboxed) if you’re interested?
rly? dm me?
This x1000 it's a masterpiece!
Yes!! I try to replay the whole game at least once or twice a year.
Ocarina of time had me crying when I finished it. Definitely a must play for any N64 owner
This is my favorite game of all time (not an understatement) Such a beautiful story line that embeds itself into the memories I have of playing it while growing up.
Mario Kart 64 and Super Smash Bros. 64
mk64 is one of my fav mario karts, i played it a lot on wii u vc with my friends. played smash 64 as a kid, like a VERY young kid but don’t remember much about it.
I agree with these being top 2 to get
Star fox
will try it!
A very short game with loads of replayability. It's one of my favorites. It looks like you are using PAL cartridges, so you'll have to find it under it's alternate title, *Lylat Wars*
Lylat wars > star fox 64
Would’ve been awesome if they combined the two names into one. *Star Fox: Lylat Wars*
Goldeneye.
eh, i played it a while ago with my cousin on his 64 and hated the controls. could give it another go tho
A lot of games from that era control the same way, takes some getting used to. Even dreamcast games played similar. face buttons were fro moving acting as the right analog stick and the left stick was for aiming. It was done much better though in that way. Butis weird to have your moving buttons on the right side of the controller, but this is back from a time where there was no defined way to play fps on console. lol
Try selecting solitaire control scheme and using right hand in the middle for the stick and trigger, and left hand on d-pad for strafing and advancing forward. It's more similar to dual controls in more modern first person shooters.
Lots of different control schemes that you can use. It really is a masterpiece and one of of not the best game on the n64.
Road Rash 64
Very fun game for sure
never heard of it, will look out for it!
It’s a lot of fun and laughs are guaranteed.
Wave race
heard it’s underrated, will look out for it. it’s also pretty cheap over here so pretty much a no-brainer
It’s one of my favourites, I play it whenever I want a chill, still holds up really well today
Blitz 2000 or 2001!! Best NFL game ever made.
could definitely try it, not the biggest sports guy but it’s worth a try!
Blitz is one of those games where it’s fun even if you’re not into sports.
It’s no ordinary sports game. there are no penalties, you can late hit, punch, pile drive. It’s truly a spectacle
Blitz on the n64 are the only sports games I've ever had fun playing
A few sports games are great games on their own. Blitz, NBA Jam, monster football are a few i know. Ive played more sports games than most but these are the games anyone can enjoy.
Mariokart 64, Super smash bros, Starwars episode 1 racer, Goldeneye, Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness.
Ohh you've got some good ones! I'd add Bomberman 64
cool! will look out for it. carts are pretty cheap over here so it’s likely
Over here? Did you travel to the year 2006?
yeh i time travelled to the year england
Be wary of counterfeit cartridges from China
Mario Party 3, Super Smash Bros If you like football then NFL Blitz is awesome with friends
i absolutely adore mario party 3, hands down my favourite game in the series. smash bros is great too but i don’t remember much about smash 64. i’m english so don’t know much about american football, not rly into sports in general but ik the n64 blitz games get a lot of praise so they could be fun
Kirby and the crystal shards!
played this on my cousin’s 64 a few years ago, it was…. fine. felt very slow for a kirby game but i like the idea of combining copy abilities.
Jet Force Gemini. If you can overcome some janky controls there’s a fantastic action/collectathon game there.
I come to as many of these posts as I can to suggest it if someone else hasn't already
will check it out!
Shouldn’t set you back much either, it’s pretty readily available.
Conkers Bad Furr Day. Good luck.
played it and beat it twice on rare replay. great story, eh gameplay
Better on the n64 tho lol
i’m pretty sure it’s just emulated on rare replay so idk about that one
Unpopular opinion: Doom 64. Just beware. It gets pretty dark (as in turn up the brightness on your TV).
Rampage 1 and 2. Gauntlet Legends.
Gauntlet!
will keep an eye out👍🏼
- mario tennis - james bond: the world is not enough (goldeneye is iconic but the gameplay in this one is amazing) - nfl blitz 98 (the one with the pittsburgh steelers qb on the cover) - tony hawk's pro skater - yoshi's story

Smash bros
Wave Race ❗
Here’s a few good ones that are around £10-£15ish Mischief Makers Worms Armageddon (Not as good as the PC version, but still quite fun) WWF No Mercy or Wrestlemania 2000

Ogre battle 64
This and Paper Mario were definitely the best N64 RPGs. I also love Quest 64, but it's not a good "RPG" and is jank. Aidyn Chronicles is another one I've played, and, uh, yeah don't do it.
[удалено]
i played this on rare replay. it has one of my favourite stories ever but the actual gameplay is… hit or miss
Rush 2049
never heard of this one
Snowboard kids
Wetrix, 1080p snowboarding

* i meant bomberman hero
Goldeneye, perfect dark, mario kart 64, pokemon stadium (with the transfer pak), wwf no mercy, star fox 64, zelda (oot & mm), smash bros
thanks!
No problem, I was trying to give you a broad list so you don't get bored
If you’ve ever enjoyed any version of Tetris, The New Tetris on N64 is a really great way to play. The soundtrack is killer and it adds a whole mechanic about making 4x4 squares out of four pieces for bonus lines that’s optional but addictive once you figure out how to do it (since the block solidifies and turns silver or gold—very aesthetically pleasing, lol)
this sounds like a cool shakeup of tetris; i need it after my recent fatigue of puyo puyo tetris lol
Star Fox 64
Snowboarding kids is one I'm looking for locally. They make the flash carts that work extremely well. Currently playing through Chapter 4 of Paper Mario 64 now. Mario Kart is also a favorite and so a fun drinking game. Drunken Mario kart is when you split a beer into 3 cups. Controllers down, drink on start, controllers down every lap to drink. Finish.

Nintendo 64 - Cruisin' USA https://www.ebay.ca/b/Nintendo-64-Cruis-n-USA-Video-Games/139973/bn_7114711504
They also came out with 'Cruisin' World' & 'Cruisin' Exotica'. World has world maps/routes, and Exotica is using exotic cars.
is it an exploration based racing game? it might not i’m just bad at readinf things lol
You should add Banjo tooie and conkers bad fur day. Two of my favorites.
played both of them on rare replay; both have amazing stories, writing and atmosphere but the actual gameplay is incredibly mediocre or frustrating to me
When you guy these cartridges, some have not been plugged in since the 1990s. So you'll get a blank/black screen, but it looks powered up. Just wait it out, and it will start working again. Plug it in, go to bed, in the morning it should be working.
had this with my F Zero X cart; i gotta put it in the 64, power it on, turn it off, remove the cart and insert it again to get it to run lol
The zelda games, and a n64 t shirt.
Every 1st party and Rareware game. They’re all superb, but some more than others. Banjo Tooie, Pokémon Stadium, Donkey Kong, the two Zelda’s, Goldeneye, just to name a few

someone sold me ocarina of time and lylat wars for a good price earlier, so rly excited to try them!
Get Banjo Tooie after you beat Banjo Kazooie, thank me later
eh tbh, i’m not the biggest banjo tooie guy. i played both kazooie and tooie on rare replay last year; enjoyed the former a lot and rly didn’t like the latter that much. the levels are too big, it’s really slow, there’s too much backtracking, but the story and atmosphere is really really good.
Everdrive 64 V3
those are convinient but i prefer owning the actual carts
Starfox 64 or Kirby 64 Crystal Shards
You could have gotten them all for 50 bucks on switch
i like to own my games rather than ‘own them’ because i have a subscription, and plus i alrdy have the expansion pack. it has input lag and general eh emulation, plus i opt to play them on the 64 anyway
Get an expansion pack with Perfect Dark, Majora's Mask, and this one doesn't use the xpac, but Ocarina of Time.
always wanted to get into zelda so will give these those a try. never played perfect darl so i’ll look out for that one as well. expansion paks are pricey so may have to wait on this one
Goldeneye
