#	Game Name	Released	Developer	Genre	Description
1	Super Mario 64	1996	Nintendo	Platformer	You dive into paintings to explore sprawling worlds, figuring out how to wall-jump up towers or sneak past dozing Piranha Plants—Mario’s moves feel clumsy at first, then suddenly perfect.
2	The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time	1998	Nintendo	Action-Adventure	You start as a kid chasing chickens, then suddenly you're an adult fixing time itself—dodging boulders, playing songs to change the weather, and getting lost in temples where every switch does something unexpected.
3	Super Smash Bros.	1999	HAL Laboratory	Fighting	Mario uppercuts Pikachu off a floating platform while Donkey Kong grabs a hammer—you're either dodging items or throwing them, figuring out how hard to tilt the stick to send someone flying. Four players crammed on a couch turns into pure mayhem, especially when someone discovers Kirby's suction move.
4	Mario Kart 64	1996	Nintendo	Racing	Pick Yoshi, drift around sharp turns, and panic when you hear that blue shell coming. The karts handle totally differently—some slide like butter, others plow through everything.
5	Banjo-Kazooie	1998	Rare	Platformer	Gruntilda’s got your sister, so you’re a bear with a bird in his backpack, jumping across melting ice and shooting eggs at nonsense while the world keeps getting bigger and weirder.
6	Star Fox 64	1997	Nintendo	Action	Dodge asteroids, blast enemy fleets, and yell at Slippy while your wingmen argue over comms—those branching paths mean every run feels different, especially when Star Wolf shows up to ruin your day.
7	Diddy Kong Racing	1997	Rare	Racing, Adventure	Diddy Kong Racing throws you on a wild island where you're not just racing—you're unlocking tracks by beating bosses, hunting hidden coins mid-race, and occasionally getting dunked on by that smug pig Wizpig.
8	Yoshi's Story	1997	Nintendo	Platformer	Hop between cardboard trees as a pastel Yoshi, tossing eggs at shy guys and hunting for hidden melons—it's like playing inside a pop-up book that rumbles when secrets are nearby.
9	Kirby 64 - The Crystal Shards	2000	HAL Laboratory	Platformer	Kirby waddles through chunky 3D worlds, gobbling up enemies to mix their powers—turn into a firework-spitting bomb or a fridge that launches food. Hunting down hidden crystal shards in those deceptively simple levels is where things get sneaky.
10	Donkey Kong 64	1999	Rare	Platformer	You bounce between five monkeys with wild abilities—stretchy arms, peanut guns, even a helicopter ponytail—while scouring huge levels for golden bananas. Yeah, you'll retrace steps a lot, but finding new ways to explore old spots feels oddly satisfying.
11	Bomberman 64	1997	Hudson Soft	Action-Adventure	You’re dropping bombs in 3D now—blasting through lava pits and icy cliffs, solving puzzles by blowing up the right walls. Then you grab three friends and turn it into pure chaos, kicking bombs at each other while someone’s gem gets stolen.
12	Pokémon Stadium (EU)	2000	Nintendo	Strategy	You transfer your Game Boy Pokémon into 3D battles where every move counts, watching your team throw fireballs and lightning like they jumped straight out of the anime. That announcer yelling "HYPER BEAM!" still gives me chills.
13	Star Wars: Rogue Squadron	1998	Factor 5, LucasArts	Action	Dodge turbolasers in an X-Wing, weave through canyons, and pull off bombing runs while that classic Star Wars soundtrack blasts—controls feel weird at first, but once they click, you're locked in.
14	Resident Evil 2	1998	Capcom	Survival Horror	Zombies lurch from every corner of Raccoon City PD while you scramble for bullets—somehow this whole nightmare fits on an N64 cartridge. The rookie mode hands you way more firepower, but those creaking doors still make your palms sweat.
15	Cruis'n USA	1996	Midway Games	Racing	Pick a car that barely turns, then blast past landmarks while dodging traffic—Golden Gate Bridge looks great right before you slam into a tour bus. The tracks get crazier until you're basically off-roading along canyon cliffs.
16	WWF No Mercy	2000	AKI Corporation	Sports	You suplex friends off ladders, chase belts through goofy storylines, and get stuck in cage doors while three people beat you senseless—pure N64 wrestling chaos.
17	Star Wars - Shadows of the Empire	1996	LucasArts	Action-Adventure	Dash Rendar’s running, gunning, and speeder-biking through Star Wars’ greatest hits—Hoth AT-ATs one minute, Coruscant’s grimy underbelly the next. Janky but full of chaotic charm, like the N64 era bottled up.
18	Paper Mario	2000	Intelligent Systems	Role-Playing Game (RPG)	Bowser steals a magic wand, traps the Star Spirits, and—surprise—it's up to Mario to fix things. You time button presses in turn-based fights, collect oddball partners, and tinker with badges to tweak your moves just right. The whole world looks like folded paper coming to life.
19	Perfect Dark (Europe)	2000	Rare	First-person shooter	You sneak through dim offices with a silenced pistol, then suddenly you're blasting aliens with wild gadgets—and the bot-filled multiplayer chaos still holds up.
20	Rayman 2 - The Great Escape (EU)	1999	Ubisoft	Platformer	You play as a limbless hero bouncing through surreal worlds, dodging robot pirates while riding rockets and swinging vines—it’s chaotic, charming, and still holds up.
21	Star Wars Episode I - Racer	1999	LucasArts	Racing	You wrestle a pod racer that handles like a shopping cart on rocket fuel, barely staying upright as you scrape canyon walls at insane speeds—upgrades help, but crashing is half the fun.
22	Gauntlet Legends	1999	Atari Games	Action, Adventure	Pick a hero, smash skeletons by the dozen, and chase loot through chaotic dungeons—way better with friends, especially when you unlock those extra N64-exclusive levels. The Valkyrie’s spin attack never gets old, and leveling up actually makes grinding feel worth it.
23	Turok - Dinosaur Hunter	1997	Acclaim Entertainment	First-person shooter	You're a time-jumping warrior blasting raptors with a shotgun, then later vaporizing aliens with a black hole gun—all while trying not to fall off cliffs in maze-like jungles. The N64 couldn't handle all this chaos smoothly, but that's part of the charm.
24	Killer Instinct Gold	1996	Rare	Fighting	N64’s version of KI2 turns every fight into a combo-heavy mess—either you’re juggling opponents with auto doubles or eating a 20-hit string yourself. Team Elimination with friends? Pure chaos.
25	Harvest Moon 64	1999	Natsume	Simulation	You start with a rundown farm, pulling weeds and planting crops, but soon you're racing cows at festivals and awkwardly courting the local barfly or the girl who won't stop talking about chickens.
26	1080 Snowboarding	1998	Nintendo	Sports	You pick a rider, carve down slopes that feel heavy and unpredictable, and wipe out hard if you mess up a landing. The split-screen races turn into shove-fests when you slam your buddy into a snowbank.
27	Cruis'n World	1996	Midway Games	Racing	Drift past pyramids, backflip an ATV, then race on the moon—this is arcade racing where physics take a backseat to pure, stupid fun. Two-player mode means you can wreck your car in style with a friend.
28	Excitebike 64	2000	Left Field Productions	Racing	Hit insane ramps, wipe out gloriously, and pull off mid-air stunts that feel impossible—until you stick the landing. Race friends, build tracks, or just see how much air you can get before physics reminds you who’s boss.
29	WCW - NWO Revenge	1998	AKI Corporation	Sports/Wrestling	Pick your wrestler, toss someone into the ropes, and watch the chaos unfold—Goldberg spearing fools, Raven creeping in the shadows, and way too many bodies piling up in that insane battle royal. Nailing a finisher and seeing it replay in slow-mo? Chef’s kiss.
30	Jet Force Gemini	1999	Rare	Action-Adventure	Blast bugs into chunky salsa as Juno, Vela, or their robo-dog—each handles differently, like Vela slicing through water while Lupus hovers through vents. That Tri-Rocket Launcher? Pure overkill, just how we like it.
31	Mario Tennis (Europe)	2000	Camelot Software Planning	Sports	Pick your favorite Mushroom Kingdom character and smack trick shots across courts with piranha plants and banana peels—simple to learn, but those timed power swings get intense with friends.
32	Banjo-Tooie	2000	Rare	Platformer	Gruntilda’s back as a bony nightmare, and now you’re splitting Banjo and Kazooie apart to solve bigger, messier puzzles while her sisters suck the life out of everything. The moves get ridiculous, and those minigames? Pure chaos.
33	Conker's Bad Fur Day	2001	Rare	Action-adventure	You're a drunk squirrel smacking zombies with a frying pan, dodging opera-singing turds, and getting dragged into the dumbest war parody ever—all while trying to stumble home. The N64's most unhinged platformer.
34	F-Zero X	1998	Nintendo	Racing	F-Zero X throws you into hovercars at insane speeds, whipping through loops and corkscrews while wrestling with 30 different vehicles—each handling like its own beast. Four-player races turn into pure chaos as you scrape walls and barely recover before the next ridiculous turn.
35	Pilotwings 64	1996	Nintendo	Simulation	You wobble through the sky in a hang glider, barely nailing landings before they hand you a jetpack and a gyrocopter that flies like a shopping cart—somehow it just clicks.
36	Earthworm Jim 3D	1999	VIS Entertainment	Platformer	A cow flattens Jim, so now you're jumping through his scrambled brain in 3D, swinging past warped cartoon landscapes and wrestling with that janky N64 camera. Still feels like Jim—just weirder and wobblier.
37	Ogre Battle 64 - Person of Lordly Caliber	1999	Quest Corporation	Strategy RPG	You command squads across a war-torn map, tweaking formations mid-battle while your choices ripple out—send knights to crush rebels, and suddenly villages see you as the villain. Those archers? Train 'em right and they'll flip into ninjas.
38	Quest 64	1998	THQ	Role-playing	You wander a weird little world as Brian, dodging monsters in real-time while scrambling to pick spells—fire blasts, earth spikes, or a quick water heal—before they smack you. The magic system’s got all the depth the rest of the game’s missing.
39	Goemon's Great Adventure	1998	Konami	Platformer	You team up with a friend to ninja-jump through wacky feudal Japan, smacking weirdos with pipes and riding each other like a drunk buddy cop movie—all while some ghost-summoning lunatic tries to ruin everything.
40	Extreme-G	1997	Acclaim Studios London	Racing	You grip the handlebars of a rocket-bike as the world blurs past, dodging missiles while your friends try to wreck you in neon-lit chaos.
41	Bomberman Hero	1998	Hudson Soft	Action-Adventure	You’re tossing bombs in 3D now, riding mine carts and hunting hidden switches while Nitros try to wreck your planet. The controls feel odd at first, but nailing a tricky bomb throw or finding a secret route just clicks.
42	Mortal Kombat 4 (Europe)	1998	Midway Games	Fighting	Mortal Kombat 4’s janky 3D movement takes getting used to, but whacking people with Jax’s metal arms or pulling off Reptile’s acid fatality still feels satisfyingly brutal. That "FIGHT!" yell alone makes it worth booting up.
43	Hybrid Heaven	1999	Konami	Action RPG	You play a betrayed agent sneaking through alien labs, learning moves the hard way—get suplexed once, and suddenly you're tossing enemies like a pro. Janky but brilliant combat where your left arm levels up separately from your right.
44	Mischief Makers	1997	Treasure	Platform	You play as Marina, a robot girl who grabs and shakes enemies like maracas while solving weird little puzzles—it’s janky, hilarious, and totally unique.
45	Snowboard Kids	1997	Atlus	Racing	Little snowboarders race through wild tracks—deserts, theme parks, you name it—while chucking snowballs and saving up for better gear. The real magic happens when four friends start sabotaging each other’s landings.
46	Wave Race 64 (Europe)	1996	Nintendo	Racing	You wrestle your jet ski through shifting waves and sudden storms, fighting the water as much as the other racers—mess up a jump and you're swallowing half the ocean. That dolphin still cracks me up every time.
47	Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 (E)	2000	Neversoft Entertainment	Sports	Grind rails, hit kickflips, and chase high scores in tight two-minute runs—the controls just click once you get the rhythm. That Goldfinger track still slaps, too.
48	Turok 2 - Seeds Of Evil (E)	1998	Acclaim Entertainment	First-person shooter	Jungles full of raptors, alien temples oozing atmosphere, and a gun that drills into skulls—Turok 2 throws you into chaos where every corner hides something trying to eat you. The levels sprawl, the guns feel brutal, and yeah, you’ll miss a few jumps thanks to that old-school platforming.
49	Mario Golf 64 (Japan)	1999	Camelot Software Planning	Sports	Pick your favorite Mushroom Kingdom character and watch your golf shots either soar gracefully or hilariously plunk into a sand trap—wind and terrain actually matter here, so don’t get cocky. Best played with friends who’ll groan as their ball ricochets off a tree.
50	Chameleon Twist	1997	Japan Supply System	Platformer	You play as a chameleon who whips his tongue around to swing, grab enemies, and fling them—it starts awkward but clicks into this weirdly satisfying rhythm. The levels are full of bright, silly places to test how far that stretchy tongue can reach.
