Just to say something beyond the obvious ones others are sharing; I really loved Battletanx. The game wasn’t all that great with the nostalgia goggles removed but I had so much fun playing it with friends 25 years ago
I fucking love Quest 64. I’m under no impression that it is a good game, but I grew up playing it and it remains one of my favorite comfort games to this day. I play through it fully once every year or two. I also enjoy other, better games, as have been mentioned elsewhere, but Quest is just special to me.
GoldenEye and Conkers Bad Fur Day
Am I gonna be the first one to say Mario 64?? Really?

Waverace

Perfect Dark
Super underrated: pokemon puzzle league
Hot take: Perfect Dark took everything that was great from GoldenEye, expanded on the formula, and is a much better game overall.
StarFox 64 is always gonna be an all-time favourite of mine. The gameplay is so simple yet very rewarding. Very arcade-like game loop, in a good way.
Diddy Kong Racing is one of the first games I discovered the… joys (?) of completionism as a kid.
I played Wave Race a ton with my father, he loved that game. Mario Golf as well.
Mario 64 is insanely good in retrospect, but I both didn’t understand much of English back then, and also sucked at the mechanics too much as a kid to really enjoy it. Similar situation with Banjo Kazooie and Banjo Tooie. I somehow managed to play through Donkey Kong 64 using walkthrough guides I printed out chapter by chapter. The multiplayer was nice although laggy as hell.
Spot on with Perfect Dark. It’s one fault imo is that it was trying to do almost too much for the 64. Even as an expansion pak game, the graphics that the 64 was capable of could just not render the necessary detail for a lot of stuff to be easy to see/recognize.
Bomberman Hero is pretty special to me. Also, I don’t think Jet Force Gemini gets enough love.
Tetrisphere (Killer Sound Track too)
Ever play Tetrisphere? It’s awesome!
Also, check out Mischief Makers. Very fun platform game.

StarFox64 still holds up tremendously well. The blocky and simple art design makes it visually easy to read, and the gameplay is solid.
Ocarina of time, goldeneye, shadows of the empire, Mario kart
Majoras Mask, Perfect Dark, Jet Force Gemini, Tony Hawks Pro Skater, and Goemons Great Adventure are some of my all time favorites.
Ocarina of Time, no question.
Gauntlet Legends is a classic.
Star Fox 64 is great.
Donkey Kong 64.
Custom Robo V2 was a fun game, if it was only in Japan.
Glover was fun.
GoldenEye, obviously.
Star Wars Episode 1 Racer, the best thing to come from The Phantom Menace.
Star Wars Shadows of the Empire was a technical marvel of its time.
I also liked MegaMan64, which was just MegaMan Legends but lower quality. It was pretty good for a port of such a big game (for the time).
Gauntlet Legends is so good, I might’ve played it on Dreamcast more but both versions are good
Dreamcast version was okay too, the levels were more similar to the arcade cabinet, but it included some content from Gauntlet Dark Legacy as well.
Really, any version was better than the PS1 port.
