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.

There are many great N64 titles. It's damn hard to pick a list.
Mario kart, although a good game, was very dissapointing when compared with the SNES version,.
Can't argue with that! Except maybe Banjo Tooie. What about Mario Kart???
I would say:
Zelda Ocarina of Time
Goldeneye
Perfect Dark
Conkers BFD
Banjo Tooie
I like Rare too!!

Excitebike is brilliant!! I got it recently for a GAD. The controls may be a bit difficult at first, with the stick, but once you've got the hang of it it's one of the best games ever!!
I also got Turok Rage Wars when I joined SR last summer, and I also brought Goldeneye on that day. I only briefly played it on the day I got it, and I don't think much of it. Mainly becasue I don't like the controls, using the C-buttons to move around - South Park style!
The single player would be better otherwise, and as for the multiplayer, how can you call it one when it's only upto 2 player?? A decent multiplayer game needs to have more than 2 player, good controls, and be fun overall! To me, TRW just isn't. I asked some people if they wanted to play it but they said no, they'd rather play Perfect Dark and Goldeneye. I'm glad I didn't pay for it, but I don't think it's quite as bad as Carmageddon!

I got this as a free game when renewing my subscription with SR. And i'd have to say that I didn't really play it that much. I completed it with a few characters, but then it ended up being just playing through the same levels and fighting the same people, just using yet another character. I personally think that Goldeneye and PD had far better multiplayer modes than any of the Turok games.

Hmmmm, weird choice there...respect your opinion though? Have played Zelda:OOT or Goldeneye?
My faves would have to be Zelda:OOT, Conker, Perfect Dark and Goldeneye.
