The N64 played host to many great games some of which don't quite get the credit they deserve.
Top of the list is F1 World Grand Prix 2. I got this game back in August 2000. I played over and over again racing in championships beating my previuos scores until I reached Champion. Then I realised this game is nearly impossible by this time it was around Christmas. I decided to try it without damage on becuase it was so impossible. I eventually won after 4 seasons of trying. Eventually I plucked up the courage to try Champion with damage on and just after a year of having the game I finally did it.
The feeling of driving is so amazing you feel like your driving an F1 car. The speed is incredible and after a while you know how to take corners at ridiculously high speeds, on the edge of spinning of and ruining your race. I paid 14.99 and I got a year of high-speed fun, I don't believe how much this game has been overlooked.
Second is Excitebike 64, check out my review to see why this game would be a classic if more people knew about it.
Third is Turok Rage Wars. Ignore the 1 player the multiplayer is excellent. A true 3d 1st person shoot-em-up. You will play for hours just playing with other people trying to kill them. People have ignored it due to Goldeneye but as a multiplayer game it is far far superior.
If you think any other N64 games deserve more credit post your reasons here.

I won GAD because of Excitebike 64. I can't understand why it doesn't seem to have ever reached the top five of the N64 game charts.

Those games weren't necassarily my favourite games just the ones I thought did not receive enough credit. Games I own like WWF No Mercy receive the praise they deserve. Games like Zelda definitely receive enough credit.
I have played Goldeneye but it isn't as good in multiplayer as Rage Wars. I use Goldeneye style controls in Rage Wars so I don't have to fiddle about with the C buttons. I found the Goldeneye single player boring after a while and the multiplayer cannot be enjoyed on your own.

Sorry, I checked and it is 4 player. I only thought it was 2 cuz SR advertised it with '(1-2 player)' underneath the title. But I remembered from the first and only time I played it that it is 4 player.
Also, how can you say that Mario Kart is better on the SNES??? Ok, the tracks were more original, but the multiplayer/battle-mode is fantastic!!

IT was 4 players, it didn't come close to Perfect Darks multiplayer but I still thought it was good, controls are a bit iffy but when you get used to them its just good stupidly powerful weapon fun.
