"Advice needed on rebuilding an N64 collection"

After deciding that there are a thinly spread number of GC games on the way that I am interested in I've decided to get together a definitive personal collection of N64 games. I've got a list together of ones I'm planning on including but because I'm lazy and can't think of any more can anyone think of any others I should eventaully include that I have missed or if there are any games in the second list that I never had before that I shouldn't bother with? No sports, puzzle or driving games though thank you.

These are games I used to have that I think I'd like back:

Banjo-Kazooie
Diddy Kong Racing
F-Zero X
GoldenEye 007
Mario Kart 64
Pilotwings 64
Star Fox 64
Super Mario 64
Yoshi's Story
(I've missed out Ocarina of Time 'cos of the Wind Waker bonus disk)

And here are a few I never played that I think I'll track down:

Banjo-Tooie
Conker's Bad Fur Day
Donkey Kong 64
Jet Force Gemini
Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
Perfect Dark

If you can find a copy of Jet Force Gemini, BUY IT! Absolute classic.

MM's pretty good, great atmosphere.

Also, get KI Gold. Brilliant beat-'em-up.

I think I May have Banjo Kazooie somewhere, if you're interested

Super Mario 64
Mario Kart 64
F-Zero X
Goldeneye
Donkey Kong 64
Mario Golf
Mario Tennis
Mario Party 2
Resident Evil 2
Banjo Kazooie
Perfect Dark
Jet Force Gemini
Lylat Wars
ISS98 (really simply amazing and brilliant! :-D)
WWF No Mercy
Conker's Bad Fur Day
Excitebike 64
1080 Snowboarding

And people said the N64 had no decent games.....

I got Vigilante 8 if you want it.

Rogue Squadron. Christ. I played it the other day. It is so bad in comparison to RL! Its incredible!

Anyhoo.

JFG is a clear cut piece of genius in bugs clothing. Even though it looks nice.

I agree AJ. No good games? Most people wouldn't know a good game if it smacked them in the face. Stupidity.

Try and get CBF (you won't play a game like this again) although the graphics seem a bit 'clunky' once you've played on the GC.

Pick up Zelda MM definently, an overlooked classic, seriously.

Good luck dude, I'm still on the lookout for Mario 64.

This is turning into quite a popular topic. Maybe I should have made the title more general for others who are after more N64 games they don't remember. This all started a few weeks ago when I decided I wanted to play through Conker and developed into a bit of an obsession!

Maybe I should have put the 'No sports games' bit in CAPS though ;)

Thanks to those who've offered sales. I'll keep it in mind but to be honest I'm in the market for ripping off complete morons who don't know what there stuff is worth (*cough* ebay *cough* "no reserve") and I don't think that would apply to anyone here!

Yup, possibly one of the finest games ever created.

Bouncy, bouncy!

I could sell you ISS 2000 for £15? :)

For some reason I prefer this game to ISS '98...
I think it's because of the smoother gameplay and how much better it feels to run with the ball, as each player. Even though the long-range shooting sails rediculously over-the-bar, almost all the time.
But ISS '98 is the best for scoring great-goals.
I once scored from an impossible angle with Anelka for France - the ball was bouncing out-of-play by the corner flag when suddenly, *THUMP*, I pressed B, and the 'keeper barely even moved as the ball shot in at the near-post! Incredible! :D

You should also check out Zelda: Majora's Mask, Paper Mario, Conker's Bad Fur Day, the 2 'Banjo' games (Kazzooie and Tooie), aswell as Diddy Kong Racing, Mario Kart 64, Mario 64, GoldenEye, Perfect Dark, Jet Force Gemini (if you like shooters...), Lylat Wars, and perhaps International Track and Field and Blast Corps, if you find them cheap.

The N64 has some great memories...
If only there was so-much coming along for the GameCube, I'd be back there finishing off every-last-one of my 20-odd games I'm still yet to have completed...!
