I haven't really played many bad games for the N64, but here's my list of the greatest I've played on the console.
1. Super Mario 64 (This game owns!)
2. GoldenEye 007 (I still play this game just to put on all the cheats and mess around after I've beaten it.)
3. Perfect Dark (Multiplayer kicks ass in this!)
4. Ridge Racer 64 (Definitely one of the best racing games for the N64 next to the Rush Trilogy.)
5. Rush Trilogy (San Frnacisco Rush, Rush 2: Extreme Racing U.S.A, San Frnacisco Rush 2049) (Even after I've beaten the games and unlocked everything, I still get a kick out of playing them. The stunt-track for Rush 2 is badass!)
6. Vigilante 8 and Vigilante 8: 2nd offense (Best auto-combat games next to the Twisted Metal Series.)
7. Beetle Adventure Racing (The multiplayer is okay, but what I really like is the detail and complexity of the levels.)
8. Extreme-G (Never played the sequel, but the first one was badass in its weapon selection. My favorite has to be what I call "The Pulse" - The shockwave that temporarily stalls your bike and prevents you from steering.)
9. California Speed (I love the tracks in this one, especially the California track where you can mow down entire cities and bridges with your car!)
10. BattleTanx and BattleTanx: Global Assault (Campaign mode for both games was badass! I especially like the nuke power-ups and the guided missles that you can manually control.)
11. Glover (Not as great as Super Mario 64, but the levels and bosses were quite a challenge for me and I liked that.)
12. Re-Volt (The cars were kickass and some of the levels were pretty cool, like Toytanic)
Games that I played that I would label "okay" would have to be:
1. Crusin' USA and Cruis'n World (Never played Crusin' Exotica, but would have liked to see how it played. The Rush trilogy is better than these games in my opinion.)
2. Monster Truck Madness 64 (The only interesting thing about this game is the ability to play multiplayer against the computer like in Perfect Dark. Monster Truck Madness 1 and 2 is badass on the PC, but you need an Internet connection to do multiplayer, and I had the freakin' slow dial-up at the time.)
3. Monaco Grand Prix (The races were fun, but too long and difficult, and I kept spinning out on the damn grass.)
4. Toy Story 2: Buzz Lightyear to the Rescue (Some of the levels in this one were very difficult, more so than the ones in Glover and Super Mario 64 combined.)
5. Twisted Edge Extreme Snowboarding (One of my friends loved this game. It's a shame I didn't give it to him when I got rid of it.)
6. Wayne Gretzky's 3D Hockey '98 (I thought it was pretty funny that you could trip guys with your stick, but I never got the hang of the game itself.)
7. The World is Not Enough (Not as good as GoldenEye 007, but still a great play. The level where you have to avoid being detected after sneaking out of your room at night is so damn hard! I don't know how I beat it the first time around without any cheats... Multiplayer was pretty cool though where you could play against the computer like in Perfect Dark.)
8. Automobili Lamborghini (The part of the tracks that contained the pitstop where you could get fueled up and get your tires repaired was a cool feature, but I kept running out of time to finish each race.)
I'm sorry to say that I never played The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, but I bet that I can find it in a used game store or at a yard sale. Or I'll just get it for the Wii ;)
