Yes it is.
My brother, kind sole that he is, gave me a bunch of his games, so I've got a few to revesit, and remember just how good they were:
Lylat Wars. Love this game. It's fun. Just need to get the medals on those really tough levels, the ones on the far left route if I remember rightly! Yes you can get to the simple conclusion of the game very easily, but finding the harder routes, and gaining those medals is a great deal of fun too,and will keep me busy for a while!
FIFA World Cup 98. Not the greatest football game to grace the N64, but it offers an alternative to ISS, and at least it has the right player names!
Mario Kart 64: Hoorah! Great fun game. This is the most fun multiplayer racing game ever. The joy of sitting in second place with a red shell, and taking out the leader just before he crosses the finishing line cannot be beaten. It's even more satisfying when it's a mate.
Goldeneye: Another classic multiplayer game. I'd finished the single player game on 'agent' level, and may now find time to try the more difficult levels. Though I suck at FPS, so I probably won't get far!
Super Smash Bros. I've not played this game much, and never the single player, so I'll have fun with this one. My brother hasn't even unlocked all of the characters yet either, so that gives me something to work towards too!
Add to those games two more which he lent me a few months ago:
Zelda: Majora's Mask. I gave him this for Xmas, and now I get the chance to play through it. Haven't had much time for it so far, but when I do get to play it, I'm enjoying it a great deal!
Conkers Bad Fur Day. I've reached the bit with the zombies. Zombies are scarey. I'm crap with the 3D stick. The whole concept of it is beyond me. I just push the darned stick to it's extreme, pushing the cross-hair way off the screen. I need a good few minutes to get used to this, even though I've been playing the N64 for years! But anyway, soon enough I'll defeat those zombies, and move on!
Then there are my own games to keep me busy too.
I won't list them all, just the ones that I'm currently playing:
Mario Party2. I've unlocked all secrets in this game now, including the 'Drivers Ed' game. Still fantastic fun for four,with mini games to give you blisters.
Banjo Tooie. Big huge levels, lots of stuff to find. Great fun.
Battle For Naboo. Again my problem with the 3D stick comes up when trying to follow an enemy ship! Still, I'm making slow progress. I don't ever expect to gain all gold medals though!
Last but not least, my current joy, Mario Tennis. This game is absolutely superb. The single player game is fun, there's plenty of characters to choose from, all varying in skills, and a few secret cups and players to unlock too. The tennis itself is awesome, the physics are spot on, with the type of shot making a real difference, as well as the height of the ball when struck, and your positioning. It's fast paced too, so your reactions have to be spot on. The characters are superb though, each has it's own characteristics, with Wario laughing away, baby Mario crying his eyes out when he loses, and many more, it's great to play. The multiplayer is a blast, especially the doubles matches. There will be many calles of "Crap, that was in!" and the like too. Fantastic, fantastic game.
So there you go. The N64 still rules. In my house, anyway. I have some excellent games to keep me busy for a few more months, until I get myself that 'CUBE.
Top stuff.

That hard coaster sure is tough! The best way is just to practice that game against 'super hard' players on the practice mode, and be persistent!
There's a bit of a surprise when you finish that game though, I'll just say that it's not over yet!

Yes, FIFA 2002 is a sight to be reeckoned with. The gameplay, I don't know - but at least it'll be up there with the PC and PS2 versions.

Meka on Mario Party 2 is there an easy way of completing the mini game roller coaster on hard, I can't get past the mini game where you have to push all the other characters off the moving tiles. I think its the last mini game of all.
