Recommend some N64 games to me!
Just got an N64 from another member here, with Goldeneye and Rogue Squadron. Can you recommend to me other good games I should pick up?
- I played Perfect Dark, and I liked Goldeneye better... probably won't pick that one up.
- Super Smash Bros was a lot of fun... I'll probably get that.
- I've heard good things about Blast Corps... probably get that, too.
- Also heard good things about Mario Tennis, but I'll probably get a more realistic tennis game for one of my other systems.
- Not a big fan of the whole Zelda thing, so I'll probably pass on that.
I'd also like recommendations on any accessories. I guess there's some sort of RAM add-on that exists... how useful is that? I know that some other games need it.

Based on your preferences, I'd recommend these:
Mario Kart 64 - fun multiplayer game...
Mario 64 - classic 3D platformer...
Banjo and Kazooie - another fun platformer...
Blast Corp - it's as fun as they say it is...
Starfox 64 - fun on-rails shooter...
I would also recommend the Zelda games but I guess you don't like those. They still might be worth a try...

San Francisco Rush or Rush 2
WCW vs. NWO - still one of the best wrestling games
Donky Kong 64

Donkey Kong 64 (needs expansion pak)
Paper Mario
Diddy Kong Racing
Conker's Bad Fur Day
Super Mario 64
If you get a new DK64 it should come with the expansion pak. Only other game I can remember that needs it is Perfect Dark to open up the rest of the game.

Waverce 64 was pretty good back in the day too.
If you can find an import version online, it used the rumble pack to shake the controller too.

In addition to what's already been mentioned, I also recommend Ogre Battle 64, Jet Force Gemini, and Conker's Bad Fur Day.

Could never sell that game system.

I was going to keep my Chrono game too until I got the PS1 version.

I love my n64. I still play it, always felt it was superior to dreamcast and playstation. Better graphics and game play IMHO.
Some great games are
WWF ATITTUTE
WWF WARZONE
WWF SMACKDOWN
MILO'S ASTRAL LANE
ARMORIES
SPACE STATION SILICONE VALLEY
HYBRID HEAVEN
FIGHTER'S DESTINY
DUKE NUKEM
BODY HARVEST
TONY HAWK
MK4
SUPERMAN was kinda OK, didn't live up to the potential

Take a look at this site, it does a good job of telling you what games are good and which aren't. Be sure to look at their N64 "best of" list (I'm not sure what they call it and I can't access the site from here), it will give you a lot of ideas.

Personally, I find myself playing Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire, Star Wars: Rogue Squadron, BattleTanx, and MarioKart.
I wasn't that impressed with Beetle Adventure Racing, and Lego Racers and RallyCar are just plain bad. Luckily, a local video rental store rents N64 games to me at a rate of 2 for $1.25 for a week (1/2 price special for a month since I just opened an account there; with the 1/2 price figured in, I'm paying $0.50 for new release DVDs and $0.25 for older title DVDs, for two nights).
MarioKart is a must, it is hands down the best game I've seen, especially for multiplayers. Battletanx and Mario Smash are a couple of other good multiplayer games.
