The most criminally underplayed game on the XBOX was Psychonauts. What was it on the N64?

Not sure if this was really underplayed but it seems kind of underappreciated; Blast Corps.

Pretty much all the good games on the N64 were played becuz the N64 didn't have nearly as many good games as the ps1.

Actually you made me think of one game that is super that you may not have played and its the best racing game on the N64 by leaps and bounds. Star Wars Episode 1 racer.

Some other good games are mario 64, zelda, wave race 64

There was a game called Operation: Winback that I thought was fun at the time. I would go with that or Jet Force Gemini. More people played Jet Force, but I don't think enough that it had a following.

In my opinion this is actually the opposite of the truth, the N64 library is weird because many of its good games are virtually unknown, I think that most of the library just couldn't get out of Ocarina/Mario 64/Mario Kart/Golden Eye's huge shadow, those games were so big that they stole the limelight from everything else.

Some games that I like on N64 (though are not necessarily amazing) are -

Mischief Makers

Mystical Ninja

the aforementioned Operation Winback, Blast Corps and Snowboard Kids

Extreme G

Body Harvest

Buck Bumble

Bangai-O

Rocket Robot on Wheels

Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine

Space Station Silicon Valley

Rogue Squadron

Wetrix

Glover and Shadowman (though there may be a reason why these two are unknown, they may be getting bad press due to theirterrible PS1 versions)

agreed. It had a good amount of niche/ unknown titles that were great.

Ogre Battle 64. I don't know anyone IRL who has heard of this game. Your mileage may vary though, I hear it has quite a following in other places. It's one of the few JRPG / Strategy hybrids I actually liked.

People hate Yoshi Story, but it's not that bad.

Yoshis story was one of my favorite games as a kid, actually its was like the 5th video game I have ever owned!

N64 was my first system and it took me like a year to get!

That being said, while I spent countless hours playing that game as a kid I just realised its one of the VERY few N64 games that I have never gone back an replayed all these years later!

Gamespot's review does a good job summing up my relationship with that game:

[Joe Fielder of GameSpot noted that Yoshi's Story "was obviously designed so that younger players could play through quickly and feel some sense of accomplishment"]
