I would recommend Donkey Kong 64, GoldenEye 007, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, Paper Mario, Perfect Dark, Super Mario 64, and Super Smash Bros.

Goldeneye and Perfect dark are nice to have if your collecting, but they are pretty horrible to play in 2009.

I still play GoldenEye 007 on occasion, but I haven't played Perfect Dark in a long time. I still love GoldenEye 007. ;)

Me personally, I'd replace DK64 with Banjo Kazooie on that list. But yeah, that's pretty much the essential N64 list.
Well most titles for the N64 are worth getting, before you get the less known ones like Vigilante 8 try get all the main ones like Mario, Donkey Kong, Zelda, Duke Nukem etc..
Any Games Published Or Made By Rare...And This Has Probably Been Mentioned A Bunch Of Times. Perfect Dark The Best(And Most Technically Advanced)Game For The 64. Hope You Have An Expansion Pack.Back In 2000 I Got Mad When I Figured Out That It Needs The Pak For Maximum Gameplay (Which Is Basically The Campaign And Some Extra Goodies). :P
In regards to Goldeneye 007 and Perfect Dark: I understand why they're on these lists -- I get it. I own both of them and loved them when they first came out. But honestly, I find it hard to enjoy them now. Ever since Halo came along on the XBox and changed console FPSs forever, it seems impossible to go back to the choppy/inconsistent framerates and single-analog control schemes.
Make sure you get Goldeneye because it may never be rereleased. However you might just want to get the 360 update of Perfect Dark, it should be much more enjoyable without that horrible framerate.

You have a good point. Shooters is one genre where the new installments are usually better than the old ones and there's not much point to playing an old edition when a new one exists. It's still fun to play, but when I think about it, I might as well just play a new shooter that has more to it than an old one.

While this is true, you could say the same for all games on the N64. If you are going to play a retro system, you cant play the games expecting something from this generation.

The thing is, I can't personally say the same for all N64 games, which is very interesting. Why is that certain games or genres age well and others don't? It's not a simple matter. I play through SM64 about every two years. Not too long ago, I played through Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask (and now I like Majora's Mask MORE than I ever have, whereas before I was indifferent).

Other than a bit of graphical age, Ocarina of Time still holds up as an extremely solid action-adventure title. I still love the game.
here are some games i enjoyed: banjo kazooie, banjo tooie, donkey kong 64, LOZ ocarina of time, LOZ majoras mask, super mario 64, conkers bad fur day, mario kart 64, paper mario, super smash bros, and goldeneye.
i would reccomend banjo tooie, super mario 64, ocarina of time, majoras mask and paper mario
