My N64 collection is pretty tiny (5 games), so I am trying to complete my collection with all the “must own” games out there. I have figured out which are the top of the bunch (I will be buying Goldeneye, Banjo Kazooie, Conker’s Bad Fur Day, etc). Below are the games that I need some help in deciding-please comment whether they are “must own” or not:
F-Zero X
Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness
Star Fox 64
Shadowgate 64: Trial of the Four Towers
Banjo Tooie
Rush 2049
Star Wars: Rogue Squadron
Body Harvest
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2
Resident Evil 2
Mischief Makers
Donkey Kong 64

Those for sure! Some I haven't played, but these are all good choices. go for star wars episode one racer if you want the best racer on the system too.

Mischief Makers
Donkey Kong 64 Banjo Tooie is basically more Banjo Kazooie greatness and I've heard that the N64 version of RE2 is far superior to the Playstation version. it's also the largest game that I know of on the console (512mbit) Mishief Makers is rather odd (Shake shake...) but it's a Treasure game. DK64 is awesomely long and fun. I either haven't played the others, or didn't like them enough to recommend them. "Uber Newb" wrote:Sin and Punishment. Japanese only, so good luck checking it out... Though the region lock on the N64 is nothing more than some plastic tabs, and the game is rather english to play... Sadly it fetches quite a premium on ebay, which is the only place you'll find it.

that's a fine list. although THPS 2 is better on the PlayStation. Castlevania LoD is a great game. i think most Castlevania fans overlook it. i had a blast when i played through it. it's actually one of my favorite CVs. Rush is a good game, me and my friend would rent it just about every weekend :lol:

Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness - Yes, it's a good game, but the main flaw is how the platforming is handled on some parts. Some of the angles are weird. Still a fun game. Shadowgate 64: Trial of the Four Towers - Never played it, but I've heard nothing but good things about it. Star Wars: Rogue Squadron - A bit akward, but it's Star Wars. I've had fun with nearly every Star Wars game I've played. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 - Better on the PS. Resident Evil 2 - Better on the PS, I don't know where you heard that at Luke, but when I used to own it I was angry that I did. It looks absolutely horrible. Donkey Kong 64 - Never played it, but it has Donkey Kong in it. Such a cool old school character.

What?? If I just had knewn that 4 months ago! : That game, Sin and Punishment was there in a shop I went 2,3 times a week. It was complete in very good condition and only cost 680Yen. :cry: On the topic: I don't know the game Rush 2049, but all the others seem to be quite good. Games I would get from the list beacause of personal interest: F-Zero X Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness Shadowgate 64: Trial of the Four Towers Banjo Tooie Donkey Kong 64

I'm not that hardcore. "NES-Luke" wrote: I either haven't played the others, or didn't like them enough to recommend them. Which games were the ones that you played, but wouldn't recommend. I'm interested in positive or negative comments. A few general comments on the games I mentioned: F-Zero X I despise the SNES version these days, but I liked what I saw when a friend was playing the N64 version. Shadowgate 64: Trial of the Four Towers I've seen low reviews on this one, but I was such a fan of the NES games (shadowgate & uninvited). Rush 2049 It appeared to me that Rush 2049 is better than Rush 2... is this a correct assumption? Star Wars: Rogue Squadron I have the gamecube version, so I'll likely stick with that one. Resident Evil 2 I would have the option of getting RE for the cube, so I'm not sure if I'd still need an N64 version of the game. Donkey Kong 64 I'm waiting to see if I like Banjo-Kazooie, since this is a similar game style.

Banjo-Tooie is definitely a must have because not only does it have an extensive adventure mode it also has MULTIPLAYER. Rush 2049 is the only game in the Rush series that I havent played, the other 2 are really fun so I assume that one is also. Tony Hawk 2 is only a must have if you like skateboarding, THPS3 was much better. I my self like all of them. Also I would check out my favorite games on the N64: 1080 Snowboardong Army Men Sarges Heroes 1,2 Mario Golf Mario Kart Mario Tennis Mario Party Excitebike 64 Smash Brothers Battle Tanx Global Assult Mortal Kombat Trilogy Wave Race Diddy Kong Racing Cruisin USA Cruisin World Cruisin Exotica Road Rash There are a whole lot more great games on the N64 so just get as many as you can.

Any 3 carts for any system for $15. I got $90 worth of N64 games then, one of them being Conkers. There was another copy of that on the shelf along with other games worth more than $5 dollars like Megaman 64 and Majoras Mask. Anyway a long story short is I wanted to buy out there N64 games and sell them for $10 each but as usual due to insufficient funds I couldn't. If I see a copy around here I'll pick it up.
