What I am saying is that since I am going to my grandparents house for most of August (8/4-8/29) and they bought an N64 about 2 years ago and since there are almost no games for it at the house I was wondering if anyone here knew of any good N64 Games I could get (I can probaly get a bunch since they are so cheap!), I you can reccomend some that would be great, if not, that is also okay, thanks anyways!

LOZ: OoT, Mario Kart, or Konker's Bad Fur Day(provided they don't mind an extremely vulgar game).

--------------------

Probaly not Konker (Mature Rating, that is why.), but yeah I was planning on getting Mario Kart, and of course I am getting Goldeneye (Hehe). but thanks Malevolence.

geez, i can't believe i forgot Goldeneye. btw, if you're gonna get Goldeneye, get Perfect Dark as well.

/me is still waiting on the PD sequel

--------------------

It's only worth getting Perfect Dark if the console has a memory expansion thing installed, or you can afford to get one with it. The game is horribly limited without one.

Starfox 64 is a good game, as well. And Mario 64, of course.

Super Smash Bros., Both Zelda games, Banjo Kazooie and Banjo Tooie...it's actually very sad how short this list is going to be...

--------------------

"That Light has bestowed upon me the greatest black magic!"

LoZ: Ocarina (Majora's Mask is pretty good too) 007 Goldeneye, Perfect Dark (ubers), Star Fox 64, Super Smash Bros, Mario Kart 64.
God, this topic makes me wish sooooo bad I still had the N64. Need mo' $$

--------------------

I fear my heart and fear my soul
Life goes on, it surely will,
Without me and I wonder:
Will I ever see light again?

Life goes on...

Quest 64 was good. Paper Mario as well.

Quest 64 was boring imo. but anyway, this list is making me wish that the thing that reads the cartridges in mine hadn't melted. also, try any of the Mario Party games.

--------------------

moé in the streets, senpai in the sheets

Ogre Battle 64 is also a good game, along with the others mentioned.

Now that Gamestop has lowered the price of N64s down to $20, it's amazing to see that most of the good games cost more than the system itself. Makes me wish I had kept my old library...

Those places know what they are doing...there is a reason why they are charging 50 dollars for a used copy of Super Metroid.

--------------------

"That Light has bestowed upon me the greatest black magic!"

there are many good n64 games here is an extended list of my favorites
1. 007: golden eye
2. zelda
3. mario kart
4. turok (i think thats how its spelled)
5. ..............you know what there really isnt that many good n64 games i was wrong

bring ur own system over there is my solution. if your grandparents are as old as i think i belive that they wont notice the difference between and n64 and a playstation 2 just but the ps2 right behind the n64 and have the controller go around the n64 and they will think u will be playing an advanced new n64 with a new controller you brought from home to make your gaming experience more relaxing and confortable for your hand.

--------------------

dont come in! im masticating!

Blast Corps 64 is a really fun game by Rare. An out of control nuclear bomb truck rolls through cities and you have to destroy all of the buildings that are in the way. You use a variety of different vehicles to accomplish this. Make sure you pick up this one.

--------------------

FFXI (Siren server)
Tauu the Windurstian Tarutaru!
White Mage & Paladin

Turok is good, yes. Also..

Mischief Makers: Weird, but good.

Megaman 64: Hey, its Megaman.

MK Trilogy: GORE!!!

Bomberman 64: Stop readin' this, start buyin' Bomberman!!!!

--------------------

Uwao. aooh! I'm Gau!

Let's travel together!

there's the pokemon stadiums 1 and 2 if you have a transferpacks.
there is also mario 64, Starfox 64, banjo toodie, Glover, and zelda: majora's mask.
these are my top favorite N64 games.

My top picks (in no particular order):

Paper Mario
Super Mario 64
Mario Kart 64
F-Zero X
Road Rash 64
Super Smash Bros
Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards
Goldeneye
Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Zelda: Majora's Mask

--------------------

Wow. 1,000 posts.

I miss you all now that I'm in boarding school! ;_;

I second Kirby 64, as well as several others here that have already been mentioned numerous times.

To add to the list:

- Jet Force Gemini: In my opinion, this is one of the best games from Rare. An action shooter where you blast and splatter insects = fun! Plus, there are Ewok/teddy bear hybrids!

- Harvest Moon 64: Like most HM games, this will probably be difficult to hunt down. Regardless, if you enjoy simulation games involving lots 'n' lots of farming, this one can't be beat (well, except by the original HM on SNES, but not by much). It's a great game, seriously.

I despised the fact in this game that after completing a bomb mission you could not go back and play the bomb mission again...it really really hurt the replay.

If you get Bomberman make sure it's not Bomberman Hero... I made the mistake of buying that one... it I didn't think it was that good. I would highly recommend Star Fox... Duke Nukem was in my opinion one of the best for N64 but it has a mature rating and can get kind of perverted. Mario Kart and Super Mario 64 go without saying, they are must haves for the N64, and I have the second Turok but I liked the first better. And of course if you are a Zelda fan you can't forget to pick up a copy of Majora's Mask and the Ocarina of time (although I suggest buying them online... here the stores sell them for $40 each used since they are so popular, but I got them online for $10 each).

Oh man..... I miss my N64 days.


Super Smash Brother's (If you have other people to play with)

Mario Kart 64.

Mario 64

Oh... Blast Corps... I actually had mixed feelings about this game. It's been so long since I played it too. I remember it being fun, but it has been along time too.

I actually kinda enjoyed Pilotwings 64. I remember when N64 came out, with only Mario 64 and Pilotwings 64. I personally enjoyed it, but it's definatly not a game alot of people would like.

Both Zelda's (though that was a given)

Another multiplayer one I enjoyed was Mario Tennis.

Yoshi's Story was fun.

Hmmm.. I'll see if I can remember any more I enjoyed... it's been to long since I played it.

--------------------

"And that, my liege, is how we know the Earth to be banana-shaped” -Sir Bedevere the Wise

I recommend you try these...

Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time
Legend Of Zelda: Majora's Mask
Quest 64
Super Smash Bros.
Mortal Kombat Trilogy
Mortal Kombat IV
Megaman 64
Super Mario 64

Those are all I could think of. Most of the ones on the list have been said already, but I thought they were pretty good.

--------------------

Let's see you figure out the truth of this quote...dun dun dun.

"The following sentence is true. The preceding sentence is a lie."

Yeah, that was lame. <_<

Give Pilotwings 64 a try if you enjoyed the original. Personally, I loved it....very challenging.

What do you mean by memory expansioner installed? I love PD, but I don't know anything of that. Maybe I had one, I dunno?

The clouds ran away, opened up the sky
And one by one I watched every constellation die
And there I was frozen, standing in my backyard
Face to face, eye to eye, staring at the last star
I should've known, walked all the way home
To find that she wasn't here, I'm still all alone

The memory and graphics chip in the front... you uninstall it and put in the expansion pack instead... the games run alot more smoothly even if they don't require one but even now they are $20 used and I had to buy one about a year ago when I got perfect dark because one player mode wouldn't run without it... I think the only thing that works on perfect dark without the expansion was 2 player only multi player mode... any more than that and the game lagged horribly.

Edit

If you see a box for PD look at the require ments on the right front side of it where it tells you how many players the game accepts, it'll say "expansion pack required(not included)."

If I remember correctly, didn't Majora's Mask also need the expansion pack to play? I think that was the main reason I never got it. =/

And, if you're still looking for a game (even though 23434 were just suggested), I'd have to say Tony Hawk's Pro Skater. Even if you're into rpgs, this game is still fun to play. Of course, if you have the other four installments already, no need. =p

Yes. Majora's Mask needed an expansion pack. I like EPs because they make it to where you don't have to keep up with Memory Cards

Mystical Ninja starring Goemon is hilarious, and really fun. You can probably find it used for really cheap, too, though that stands for most N64 games.

--------------------

Hey, put the cellphone down for a while
In the night there is something wild
Can you hear it breathing?
And hey, put the laptop down for a while
In the night there is something wild
I feel it, it's leaving me

Yeah, Mistical Goemon is pretty cool, but a little short (I recall finishing it in only one weekend)

A game that I enjoy a lot is the sequel, ¨Goemon Great Adventure¨, is hard to find but if you can find it i promise you will get a lot of fun.

Perfect Dark is good but will be greater if you have someone to play with (about 60 % of the game charm is the multiplayer option, and it increases to 80% if you can play it with other 3 persons)

Also Ocarina of Time is one of my all times favorites, is better than Majora and you dont need any funny gizmo (expansion pak) to play it.

And to think I sold my N64 for a Playstation 2...

I am actualy thinking about getting Smash Bros., also thanks for the suggestions and I actualy play more than RPGS (Jest about everything!), but thanks aynways( More sugestions are nice as well). Pokemon Staduim I had forgot I owned it (Yes I had a Transfer pack) about 2 weeks into the trip and then got addicted to it.

I've heard Paper Mario was okay, but I heartily reccomend Mario Kart 64, the Mario Kart series' best creation.
