I love this game but it isn't an RPG. It's a straight-up 3D Adventure game.

The only "real" RPGs on the system that are worth your time are Paper Mario and Ogre Battle 64. Paper Mario is kind of short but very sweet and a ton of fun - also pretty expensive unless you find it in the wild. Ogre Battle 64 can be had for $40 (or $8 if you know Japanese) but considering you can get hundreds of hours of gameplay it's a pretty good price. Extremely good game.

Other than that, all the RPGs were on PS, PC, and Saturn.

I liked Quest 64 back in the day myself, I see the OP's already played it, but yeah. I only rented it though so I never cleared it. I often wonder if it's just one of those games best left in the past though, haha...

Other than what's been mentioned though, yeah barely anything comes to mind. Definitely a big void in the N64's library.

I think you can often find the cart only for 20-25$

Really? I haven't checked the prices lately. Sounds like a great deal.

conkers bad fur day is by far the best n64 rpg as evan though it is in a childish style it is for older gamers and rips apart the logic of video games and makes fun of how unrealistic most games are and you can't foget the amusing songs and the giant pile of poo that sings :lol:

There weren't really any "traditional" rpgs released for the n64. The closest you'd come is paper mario/ogre battle. Most other games fuse their rpg portion with something else, or just have rpg elements.
Edit: Somehow, Aidyn Chronicles has yet to be mentioned. I've yet to play it, but from what I've read, it's one of the few full rpgs for the console (the others being Paper Mario and Quest 64).
