    I think Jet Force Gemini, Conker's Bad Fur Day, and Mystical Ninja are my favorite N64 games. I could not care less about Ocarina of Time.

    Hmm.. now I wanna go play Snowboard kids or whatever that game was>_<
  • samsneeze - April 18, 2012 1:45 p.m.

    Lol, Ocarina of Time.

    I have played and enjoyed half of these. This was the console that defined my early childhood. Great memories.

    So many good memories. I love how many of the games on the list were 4 player. That's what the N64 was all about and I loved every second of it. I know they're limiting 1 game per series or whatever but Majora's Mask was so different then OoT, I feel it still deserves a nod.

    Oh, you don't care for Ocarina of Time? You must be one of the few hardcore gamers.

    Ugh I just want to lock myself in my old room and spend an entire month with N64 playing these games again. Anyone born in the mid-80s should have amazing memories from this beautiful system. Also missing: WcW v nWo World Tour Half the games on this list suck balls though. But oh well, someone even said they couldn't care less about Ocarina of Time. I guess there always has to be one. Also - reCaptcha...what the hell is that? Is that a PICTURE file with a number on it? Are you kidding me?

    I most definitely did not, and never will, unappreciate the awesomeness of my N64 - so many games that were just so much fun to play... missing from the list: - Killer Instinct Gold - Turok: Dinosaur Hunter - Forsaken - Banjo-Tooie - Donkey Kong 64

    Wait, there was a worms game on the N64? I didnt know that o_O Great choices, but Ocarina of Time being top is getting overrated, but not gonna lie, it WAS genre defining. Aw, DK64's not on the list, that games one of my personal fav games of all time. Despite Banjo-tooie being an overall much better game, giving Kazooie the spot was a good idea, as it showed it can be different than Mario 64, same goes with Mario Party, i found 3 to be the overall winner on the N64, but the first was more memorable for a list. With all these lists on best games, im guessing your gonna make the "Worst" games of all time on each system? If you do, Quest 64 better be in it on the N64 section, that game ruined me as a kid.

    I don't like the game because it isn't my cup of tea. I did enjoy Majora's Mask a bit, and Link to the Past and Wind Waker are two of my favorite games. There was something about Ocarina that just put me off it even to this day. It has nothing to do with being a "hardcore gamer" or being cool and not going with the flow. I just don't like it is all.

    I was born in 1993, and I have plenty of great memories of playing the N64 with my neighbors, who had the console. reCaptcha: I think I found the same picture you are complaining about. 10?

    NFL Blitz 2000 is probably the best arcade football game to ever come out. WHY IS IT NOT UP HERE!? YOUR OPINION IS WRONG, DAMMIT!
  • Scoob - April 18, 2012 2:03 p.m.

    I second the WCW vs NWO. That was the best wrestling game of that generation, maybe second to WWF attitude on the PlayStation. Also, reCaptcha is used to help convert books and such to digital format. Only the text with the circle in it is what you need to get correctly. The other, you can type whatever you want.
  • shawksta - April 18, 2012 2:04 p.m.

    Ocarina has its reasons because how Genre defining it is, AT THE TIME. Otherwise I love Majora's Mask a hell of allot more.
  • samsneeze - April 18, 2012 2:24 p.m.

    I don't care about what it did for the industry, all that really matters is how much I enjoyed it. I didn't enjoy it at the time and I don't like now. It's a personal thing, not something people should be upset over.
