...and submitting it to the site, but I'm unsure if some of the games I've chosen are too mainstream or not:

(in no particular order)
Mischief Makers
Jet Force Gemini
Rocket: Robot on Wheels
Iggy's Reckin' Balls
Hybrid Heaven
Buck Bumble
Space Station Silicon Valley
Goemon's Great Adventure
Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon
Quest 64

The biggest one is easily Jet Force Gemini, but it was overshadowed by all the other Rare games. What do you guys think?

Bomberman: The Second Attack

Really awesome game that for some reason no one played, despite coming out at a time when people cared about Bomberman.

Bomberman: The Second Attack is a problem because I've never played it myself. I blame Blockbuster for never stocking it.

Bomberman: The Second Attack

Really had a disappointing lack of extras compared to Bomberman 64. Still a blast to play. Bomberman 64 was better, though.

Again, it also happens to be a game I haven't played. I also blame Blockbuster for that one (renting N64 games from Blockbuster was my childhood).

The only one I've never heard of is Buck Bumble.

The only one I've never played is Buck Bumble.

The only ones I've never owned are Buck Bumble and Hybrid Heaven

And I have probably the smallest variety of gaming experience on Board 8. >_>

Take that as you will.

Ones that do deserve to be on the list because I can't remember if I heard about them:

Buck Bumble
Rocket, Robot on wheels
Iggy's Reckin Balls

Hm? It's got more multiplayer modes, more costumes/unlockables, Pommy, and an extremely good single player campaign. I've heard arguments that, even despite the smaller variety, Bomberman 64's multiplayer is still better, but I wouldn't hold "lack of extras" against TSA.

I would think Blast Corps is the more over looked Rare game.

Not sure how "unknown" Quest 64 is, due to it being like the only RPG.

Other than that, should be a pretty good list, especially compared to the normal crap posted.

Diddy Kong Racing was a huge game. No way it belongs on this list.

Also, wasn't Blast Corps a launch title? I thought it was pretty well known for that reason.

Oh and Aidyn Chronicles or Vigilante 8 would fit well.

i would say "never played" would be a better fit.

The N64 didnt have the largest library of games, so it was pretty common to hear of most of these games. Play them though? Thats another story for most of them with most people.
