    Hey everyone. I've just found a store that is near my house that is selling n64 games for 1 cent each. So I was wondering if anyone could suggest me any games they thought were fun when they played n64. :) Thanks

    Get Ocarina of Time (Master quest if avaible) and you won't regret it 1 second. This game was choosen as the best game of all time and it is the best RPG in my opinion.
    No bugs at all, no glitches, great graphics for N64 at that time and what a game play.

    Try to get a copy of Perfect Dark. That was a great game, and in fact, I think its one of the best FPS games I've ever played. (Not including Deus Ex, which is perhaps the best game I've ever played)

    Goldeneye and Perfect Dark, the two best FPS games on a home console at the time apart from MOH on the Psx. Multiplayer in particular is practically unbeatable to this very day....

    Unfortunately I was never an RPG fan or even really a fan of anything in particular outside of the staple action/FPS genere, but I do remember of course Zelda and Jet Force Gemini were two of the more talked about ones.

    Super Smash Bros. was an absolutely brilliant multiplayer game as well.

    Don't forget about Conker's Bad Fur Day, Rare's last title for Nintendo before jumping ship to Microsoft. Plenty of laugh out loud moments in that one...

    For a penny, get as many as you can. I went to a gamestore one time and they were selling NES games that were in mint condition with boxes and everything for real cheap, although not as cheap as a penny. I picked up 8 of them, and I wish I would have picked up more. For a penny you can't go wrong.

    I was wondering if there are any good airplane multiplayer games that were for n64? Something on the lines maybe a helicopter? My brother likes airplane games and it'll be cool if we can play something on the lines like that.

    Not sure about helicopter games, but if I remember correctly, there was a Star Wars flying game on the N64. Rogue Squadron or something like that. I'm pretty sure it was N64.

    Here's a list of free, downloadable games and a number of the ones you mentioned are listed (Zelda, Duke Nukem and some others):

    This link is to a list of free game download sites. With a little digging you can turn up quite a bit of the older games that are now free or abandonware:

    If they're 1 cent each, just grab 100. That way, you can't go wrong!

    If you grab the $40 rare ones, you're on your way up!

    You could make like $500 if your lucky.

    HAHA. I should do something like that.

    Also the person who posted the emulator and roms thing, it is sorta illegal to downloaded games that you don't have. Besides, I think I prefer playing the games on the controller instead on the keyboard. The buttons are easier to use that way.

    Oh man, Starfox was definitely the best. Multiplayer was really cheap when I had the tank and my friends took the plane haha.

    Gauntlet Legends was fun! I first started playing that game in the arcades and it got me hooked. Too bad that it requires the memory pack.

    Just remembered another one... Fighter's Destiny, quite possibly the best beat-em-up available for the N64.
