Where to start?

[Lone Wanderer]

I'd recommend grabbing F-Zero X. It hasn't aged too badly, and it can be found sub-$5. Pick carefully, as a lot of the games have aged pretty badly. This is especially important if you get headaches easily (like me). That's really the only game I can think of off the top of my head that wasn't already mentioned, since I haven't played very many n64 games. Doom 64 is supposed to be decent, and hopefully it's aged as well as the first 2 games.

..Ocarina of time first before Majora's Mask.

Majora's Mask is way better and Ocarina is on the list but Majora isn't

...

ok, let me rephrase that: "play Ocarina of time first, then Majora's Mask."

I planned on the Zelda games guys, no need to argue over it. I want to get Harvest Moon 64 too if possible... might cost me 50$ though.

but we love to argue around here

are you looking for a complete copy of HM64? or just cart? u can probably find a good price somewhere else (craiglist, ebay, thrift store, flee market, here, etc). i once sold it for around $20 here (cart only).

Start the way I did: Goldeneye 007. Then get SM64.

Out of what hasn't already been recommended, definitely get Mario Kart 64. Doom 64 is still really fun to play, I recommend that too. And Ogre Battle 64 is a must. I personally think it's the best 64 game.

Wait, wait, hold up.

Look, as a fan of the Nintendo 64, there are two peripherals I believe you need before you can really get full enjoyment out of your console: first, an Expansion Pak, and second, a Memory Pak. Both are just about vital for many of the console's games.

After that, what kinds of games do you like?

[The Last Horseman]

Memory Pak? I thought that the games saved to the cartridge?

I like all kinds of games, including platformers, shooters, shmups, puzzle games (certain types), etc. I'm not sure.


I know this differentiates from where I started, but I also want to get more Gamecube games. I'll try the ones here, then look for more. Suggestions are welcome.
