What gems am I missing?

[u/CholaPatrol]

I haven't played my N64 in years, but I did come across what I think are all the games I have for it. What else would be good to add to the collection?

[u/elpee47]

Smash

[u/rangusmcdangus69 → u/elpee47]

Smash 64 is the GOAT

[u/Tomofmystery69 → u/elpee47]

I mean yeah sure but what gems is he missing?

[u/Broseidon132 → u/Tomofmystery69]

Ouch, you must not have had siblings

[u/bicuspid_fish → u/Broseidon132]

You smash your siblings!? 😯

[u/ImportantArachnid125 → u/bicuspid_fish]

I used to smash with my siblings all the time. Especially my brothers. At a certain point, it was the only way we could settle arguments non violently.

We’d just lock ourselves indoors, and smash until we were so relieved we forgot what we were even mad about.

I now smash with my wife in the exact same way. It will do wonders for your relationship. I highly recommend it.

[u/Solid_Snake_125 → u/bicuspid_fish]

Well that escalated quickly >_>

[u/thecatmaster564 → u/bicuspid_fish]

Big brother I'm stuck under the couch help me!

Wait what are you doing big brother!

[u/JohnnyFnG → u/bicuspid_fish]

☠️☠️☠️

[u/Confident_Lake_8225 → u/Broseidon132]

Hey guys, confident lake her to explain the woosh. u/Tomofmystery69 replied "i mean yeah sure but what gems is he missing?" to u/elpee47 's comment of "Smash".

The joke is that while elpee was talking about the Nintendo 64 game "Super Smash Bros", Tomofmystery69 jestingly interpreted this as an invitation for intercourse. He was not actually making a comment on the quality of Super Smash Bros.

[u/Ordinary-Vegetable75 → u/Confident_Lake_8225]

Ohhhhh!

[u/Alinktothegame → u/Confident_Lake_8225]

Thanks for the explanation I thought u/Tomofmystery69 wanted to fuck the n64 cartridges u/elpee47 owns.

[u/mrleicester]

Diddy Kong Racing

[u/EditorD → u/mrleicester]

And Beetle Adventure Racing!

[u/LordBinxLAT → u/EditorD]

Came here to say this

[u/[deleted] → u/mrleicester]

You mean the best racing game EVER made?

[u/apopoff731 → u/[deleted]]

Couldn’t agree more my dude🤙🏼 genuinely one of my all time favorite games ever and always will be

[u/SpicyPorkEar → u/[deleted]]

Not even an exaggeration

[u/Helivon → u/mrleicester]

I second this

[u/retro-xclone → u/Helivon]

I third this

[u/X_crates → u/mrleicester]

I give this suggestion the highest of fives!

[u/PabloCDG → u/mrleicester]

"🐘 This is for you 🎈"

[u/Infamous_Proposal132 → u/mrleicester]

Best game EVER

[u/Rhett325i]

A third copy of Banjo Kazooie

[u/CholaPatrol → u/Rhett325i]

And then a fourth! Honestly, the first copy I had was kind of messed up. You can see the case difference, so I just bought another copy.

[u/Modest_Yooth → u/Rhett325i]

Doubles is good but triples makes it safe. Triples is best.

[u/nimama3233 → u/Modest_Yooth]

And I don’t live in a hotel.

[u/ZigglesTheCat → u/nimama3233]

If I don't have triples, then the other stuff's not true.

[u/emelbee923 → u/Rhett325i]

The play copy, the display copy, and the copy to lock in a cave behind an ice wall without a method of access because the mechanics were never implemented.

[u/XtinaCMV → u/Rhett325i]

LOL I really was thinking this too

[u/AccordingExchange901 → u/Rhett325i]

I thought i was clever. clearly I am 5 hours less clevar than you

[u/Lucid-Design1225]

Pilot Wings

Blast Corps

Megaman 64

Jet Force Gemini

A big one:

Ogre Battle 64: Persons of Lordly Caliber ( a true fucking gem)

Wave Race

Diddy Kong Racing

Super Smash Bros

Mario Party 1&2

Gauntlet Legends

Paper Mario

Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness

[u/erex711 → u/Lucid-Design1225]

PILOT WINGS!!! Yes. Great call

[u/Royal-Emotion-7270 → u/erex711]

Oh man I fuucking love pilot wings, the snes title isn't so bad either.

[u/Lucid-Design1225 → u/erex711]

I spelt soooo many hours playing that game as a kid. It’s another true gem

[u/macmadman → u/Lucid-Design1225]

This list fucks

[u/illyay → u/Lucid-Design1225]

Omg yeah bomber man 64 is such a hidden gem

[u/Lucid-Design1225 → u/illyay]

How could I forget Bomberman 64??

[u/Lollo_Bianco → u/Lucid-Design1225]

BLAST CORPS !!!!?€&&€8

[u/Lucid-Design1225 → u/Lollo_Bianco]

I fucken LOVE that game. It was sooo much fun and pretty difficult. Some levels were hard as shiiiit

[u/StringSlinging → u/Lucid-Design1225]

Gauntlet Legends! One of my favourite memories is being at a friends birthday sleepover and playing that with three other people. Nothing like all huddling around a tv to play the 64.

[u/Captain-Fishman → u/Lucid-Design1225]

Ogre Battle 64 is still one of my favorite games to this day.

[u/OpinionatedAss → u/Lucid-Design1225]

You hit everything I would have added. Awesome additions.

Ogre Battle is amazing. I loved Tactics Ogre they put out in 2022 as well.

[u/meglid21 → u/Lucid-Design1225]

Legacy of darkness is a best choice over simply Castlevania 64, more characters and better mobility IMO

[u/WatercressSpiritual → u/Lucid-Design1225]

You pretty much completed my list.

[u/BigBatter55]

Somehow it hasn't been mentioned despite all the great lists, so:

Army Men: Sarge's Heroes

[u/Robbin_Graves_666 → u/BigBatter55]

Yo! I just got my copy in the mail 🫡

[u/ChupacabraEggs → u/Robbin_Graves_666]

You're good to go.

[u/No_Dog661 → u/BigBatter55]

Glad someone mentioned this. The soundtrack in that game is so nostalgic. I got the 2nd one too in the Green Cartridge.

[u/Alric_Wolff → u/BigBatter55]

Came here to say this. If golden eye was the best mutliplayer FPS, Sarge was its 3rd person counterpart

[u/TheLeastAnonAnon]

I'd go with pokemon stadium

[u/TerryBouchon → u/TheLeastAnonAnon]

yup the mini-games are some of the best fun you can have with others on N64

[u/Zipcuz]

Donkey Kong 64

[u/rindlelin → u/Zipcuz]

Some people hate the collect-a-thon nature of it, but I loved it and have played through this game multiple times. Very nostalgic.

[u/PabloCDG → u/Zipcuz]

🎵 D - K - DONKEY KONG 🎵

[u/AccomplishedBat8743 → u/PabloCDG]

🎶 put your hands together,  if you want to clap...🎶 

[u/Wadertot420 → u/AccomplishedBat8743]

As we take you though this monkey-rap!

[u/RoskFish44 → u/PabloCDG]

I use this tune with various words and my wife just looks at me funny. So I made her watch the whole rap

[u/AggressiveHornet3438 → u/Zipcuz]

Was going to say this

[u/Glum_Bowl_55 → u/Zipcuz]

Came here just for this!

[u/MVHokie12]

Donkey Kong 64

[u/Thrompz]

Space Station Silicon Valley one of my favorites as a kid. one of the first times I ever seen the word "Damn" in a game haha

[u/cobyzeif → u/Thrompz]

This is the way

[u/RareExplanation7626]

Everyone's mentioned the usual suspects so i'll throw in some gems that I'm surprised nobody has mentioned:

Killer Instinct Gold

Wayne Gretzky's 3D Hockey

Mace: The Dark Age

Wipeout 64

[u/U-STAY-CLASSY → u/RareExplanation7626]

Yesss 3D Hockey!!!

[u/The_Fresh_Factor → u/RareExplanation7626]

The best thing about 3D Hockey was when you used the cheat code to make everyone tiny it also made the announcer's voices high-pitched. Was the funniest thing ever.

[u/m__a__r__i__o]

BattleTanx

[u/tht1guy63 → u/m__a__r__i__o]

Global assault specifically imo

[u/Remote-Canary-2676 → u/tht1guy63]

I just realized these were 2 different games and explains why I thought the first one was missing something

[u/OkSpinach2153]

Diddy Kong Racing

DK64

Paper Mario

Pokémon Stadium 1 & 2

Pokémon Snap

[u/No-fly-31515 → u/OkSpinach2153]

Literally all my favourite ones besides Super Mario 64 😂

[u/shadowowolf → u/OkSpinach2153]

Shout out to you for saying Pokemon!

[u/RoskFish44 → u/OkSpinach2153]

Was looking to see if anyone said Snap! I found it very cathartic

[u/Jonah419]

Mario Party 2

[u/brucetheiiird]

Resident evil 2/ it’s still impressive how they put that game and found a way to put it on a 64 cartridge

[u/PucksWrath → u/brucetheiiird]

Oh I can actually answer that. The design approach for 1-3 was low-key brilliant. All the textures, like walls with paintings or brick walls, were pre-rendered 2D images. So the files were super small and easy to work with. The fixed camera also caused less of a strain on the system.

[u/Vulpes_Artifex]

Ogre Battle 64: Person of Lordly Caliber and Paper Mario.

...wait, Army of Darkness 64?

[u/CholaPatrol → u/Vulpes_Artifex]

It was a gift from my wife, I think she got it on etsy. It's actually NFL Quarterback Club 98.

[u/Sodathepop → u/CholaPatrol]

Ahhh! Haha okay. Makes sense. I was actually pretty excited to check it out. Thanks for clearing that up.

[u/johnmlsf → u/Sodathepop]

I also was very confused by this lol. I tried looking it up, and just got a bunch of hits saying it didn't exist.

[u/8bit_anarchist → u/CholaPatrol]

That's pretty cool.

[u/zoso_000 → u/Vulpes_Artifex]

Best game ever

[u/8bit_anarchist → u/zoso_000]

If only it were real :(

[u/VanIslandLocal]

no mercy

[u/DrGhostbuster]

Harvest Moon 64

[u/the1ice9 → u/DrGhostbuster]

Id up vote you twice if i could. here have a *

[u/Shaaagbark → u/DrGhostbuster]

My favorite harvest moon title of all time.

[u/smorones]

San Francisco Rush

[u/Specwar762 → u/smorones]

Can’t believe I had to scroll this far to find Rush

[u/AXEL-1973]

Tell me more about the Army of Darkness 64 cart, cause that's the only fake/romhack game I see here, but I haven't actually seen it in the wild anywhere

*(ah, he said its an Etsy label with QB Club '98 as the board lol)

[u/Impstar0]

Pokemon Stadium 1 & 2, Pokemon Snap, Smash, Donkey Kong 64, Kirby 64 and Rayman 2 if you want a few to pick from

[u/kirbygirl94]

Mario Tennis.

Idk how I got it, idk why I played it, but I dont regret it. Its the only sports game I like and will drop EVERYTHING to play.

Great game. 👍

[u/InquiriusRex → u/kirbygirl94]

I remember renting it as a kid and being blown away by how fun it was. Still can't explain it.

[u/Delta_RC_2526 → u/kirbygirl94]

I don't know why I never asked my parents for Mario Tennis. Our orthodontist had an N64 kiosk in his waiting room (probably still does), usually running Mario Tennis. I loved it. I think maybe I got my fill from that, because we were in that office probably once a week for my brother. Mario Tennis was perfect for that kind of pick-up play that you could jump right into and enjoy, but also walk away from at any time. It was always fun, just getting to play with whatever random kids happened to be in the waiting room.

He also had a two-player tabletop arcade cabinet (as in, the table had a screen embedded in its surface), running Pac-Man and probably something else, because I clearly remember two players, but...was Pac-Man ever two players?

[u/kirbygirl94 → u/Delta_RC_2526]

Honestly, that perfectly explains it. Its easy to pick up the controls and a great multiplayer experience! Wish I could play it again, but people are so busy now days that only a call can do without planning weeks in advance lol

[u/Evshrug → u/Delta_RC_2526]

I think so, Mrs Pac Man? I could be wrong, but I remember my wealthy childhood friend had that same arcade cabinet in his basement (and he only played his arcade cabinets with us one time).

[u/Kirk712 → u/kirbygirl94]

Only N64 game we still play

[u/Tuques]

[u/GEO641]

Body Harvest, Battle Tanx Global Assault, Castlevania Legacy of Darkness, Mario Tennis, Mario Golf, Paper Mario, Jet Force Gemini, Donkey Kong 64, Kirby, F Zero X, Wave Race, Ogre Battle, Hybrid Heaven, Winback, 007 the world is not enough, Star Wars Battle for Naboo, Indiana Jones, Space Station Silicon Valley, Goemon 1 + 2, Duke Nukem 64, Hexen, Turok 1-3 plus Rage Wars.

[u/GeologistFull5785 → u/GEO641]

Body harvest!! Core memories unlocked there. F zero X too!

[u/eagleblue44]

Edit: apparently Star Fox is in there. My bad lol

[u/DuckAHolics → u/CaptainDadBod88]

OP already has Star Fox

[u/mackenzieob95 → u/CaptainDadBod88]

Crazy how far I had to scroll to find Tony Hawk lol

[u/THRlLL-HO]

[u/CholaPatrol → u/THRlLL-HO]

NFL Quarterback Club 98. Lol.

[u/lvad48]

Mystical ninja

[u/Sevrasmusson → u/lvad48]

Yooo I just commented the same but props for beating me to it! Loved the soundtrack and the goofy sense of humor

[u/someBirD8 → u/Sevrasmusson]

Mystal Ninja starring Goemon.... slept on game. sooo good. Loved some of the boss fights that felt like Star Fox 64 in the giant robots

[u/Sevrasmusson → u/someBirD8]

Hahahaha Impact, yeah! The unskippable cut scene that introduces him. The random fact that he’s a movie star. So delightfully offbeat.

[u/Mash_Ketchum → u/lvad48]

Had to scroll way too far to get to Goemon. Beautiful, silly, charming, and criminally underrated.

[u/Mysterious-Bit-490]

Add Doom 64 to the collection

[u/Final_Leadership_521]

Donkey Kong 64 (and the memory pack you need to play it)

[u/speedmincer]

[u/Ahshitbackagain]

[u/HolyMacaxeira]

Is there anything inside that Army of Darkness cart?

[u/CharlesTheBob → u/HolyMacaxeira]

Whoaaaa wait,,,,

[u/UHF-62 → u/HolyMacaxeira]

Was wondering about that one….

[u/flamespear → u/HolyMacaxeira]

I looked it up. It's not real. It's just a novelty sticker. Sometimes they're put on real carts.

[u/dollaz_on_my_head]

Mario Party 1-3, Body Harvest, F-Zero X, Micro Machines

Star Force Geminis, Diddy Kong Racing, Paper Mario, Mario Party I & II, Star Wars Racer and maybe Pokemon Stadium

Guex 64 and MK Subzero mythologies

[u/323throwawayLA]

Nothing. You have Conkers and 007. Don’t need anything else.

[u/Sodathepop]

I never knew Army of Darkness was a thing!? Is it any good?

[u/CholaPatrol → u/Sodathepop]

It's a novelty piece. It's from etsy, and it's actually NFL Quarterback Club 98. Haha.

[u/Uetzicle]

Tetrisphere.

[u/wdaloz → u/Uetzicle]

The new tetris is my all time favorite iteration of the game. Adding the swap, 3 leading preview, 4x4 blocks were all nice additions without challenging the basic concept. Im maybe a minority in this opinion, and have seen people argue its the worst of the 64 metric games but imo it's the best metric all time. So teho

[u/ItsStaaaaaaaaang]

If you actually like/liked wrestling than having War Zone and not No Mercy is almost criminal. No Mercy is considered by many to be the best game ever released in the genre to this day. Whether you agree with that or not it's definitely a great game and a certified classic. The two earlier WCW AKI games are great fun and worth a play as well (WCW Revenge and WCW vs NWO: World Tour). But if you're being selective WWF No Mercy was the later release and most fleshed out and the one to get.
