    Extreme-G
    Extreme-G is what more titles should strive to be: something that is just plain fun to play. What it is about this game that makes it so great -- maybe it's the fact that the control is very precise, maybe it's the sheer thrill you get from traveling at 400 miles per hour on a sleek, futuristic cycle, or maybe, just maybe, it's the thumping bass beat that makes the racing even more enjoyable.

    Total Annihilation
    An impressive contender in the real-time strategy genre. An easy-to-use interface, coupled with intelligent AI, establishes the game as one of the best of its kind.

    Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee
    Handles quite well and that's especially important as many of the puzzles require split-second timing and instant controller response.

    Final Fantasy VII
    Each character, visual graphic, mini-game and every ounce of story has a depth so amplified that it will keep players engrossed for months.

    GoldenEye 007
    So if you appreciate ingenuity, realistic settings, loads of cool weapons, and some of the best artificial intelligence ever witnessed in a first-person shooter, let alone a console shooter, GoldenEye 007 is an essential addition to your N64 game library.

    Ace Combat 2
    While Ace Combat 2 is loads of fun, it can get a bit monotonous. Essentially, the mission objectives are all the same (blow up the enemy) and this could lead to some boredom. If you look into this game, be sure to play it in moderation -- play a few missions a day and then give it a break for a while.

    Star Fox 64
    Notable for its use of real-time speech during the action
    • 72 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Alone in the Dark: The Trilogy 1+2+3
    While each game features gameplay a step above the other, a few flaws carried themselves from title to title, never being fully resolved.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Turok: Dinosaur Hunter
    Turok has some good points (namely the graphics and weapons) and some bad points (confusing level design and overuse of fog), but the overall game is still fun to play.

    Blast Corps
    If it seems you don't get your money's worth in videogames anymore, Blast Corps is truly exceptional value. Three words: original, addicting, and challenging. There's no game quite like this in the 32/64-bit generation.

    Mario Kart 64
    Despite the fact that Mario Kart 64 doesn't quite compare to the original, it's nevertheless one of the best racing games for the system. The good still far outweighs the bad.

    Soul Blade
    With astounding graphics and nearly every pixel of the arcade version represented, beautiful backgrounds, lighting effects and unsurpassed character animation, Soul Blade is a wonder to watch and even more amazing to play.

    Diablo
    If you're looking for an action RPG with medieval roots and influences, dark and moody settings, and unique game play, then run to your nearest retailer and pick up a copy of Diablo!

    Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo
    Utterly brilliant, and deserves purchase by anyone who's ever had a penchant for "Tetris." And don't forget to play with a friend in the versus mode!
    • 84 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Master of Orion II: Battle at Antares
    While an excellent game, it just lacks that particular oomph the original had. Perhaps, being a sequel, it couldn't have the same impact as being something completely new.
    • 90 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Command & Conquer: Red Alert
    While perhaps not upgrading the original Command & Conquer engine as much as some would have liked, its clean graphics, crackerjack music score and immersive sound effects all make for a game that's great fun to play...and that's what it's all about, isn't it?

    Tomb Raider
    It is a truly captivating and mesmerizing experience that can be enjoyed by a wide variety of people – especially those interested in grandiose architecture.

    Wave Race 64
    What really propels Wave Race 64 into great status, though, is its gameplay. Minute inputs make all the difference: controlling a jet-ski in Wave Race 64 is an art as well as a precise science, but it's fun too.

    Harvester
    A dated adventure with sub-standard full-motion video, puzzles that had been used numerous times, trivial item collection and drab conversations with bizarre characters. Potential oozed from the box, but was never achieved.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars
    This game will keep you hooked all the way up to its finale. Even after completion, you may opt to go through it a second or even third time.
    • 93 Metascore

    Wipeout XL
    Features even more unique and detailed texture maps as well as dashingly gorgeous course design with tons of trackside stuff to distract you as you blaze around the tracks.

    Pilotwings 64
    One of the most fun flight simulators to date.
    • 94 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    Super Mario 64
    As the first true 3D platform game, the game does everything right. Super Mario 64 is a masterpiece in the truest sense of the word.
    • 89 Metascore

    Tekken 2
    Characters are more varied and numerous, the moves possible with each of these characters is multiplied many fold, and the environments which they interact are certainly more detailed.

    • 90 Critic Score
    Santa Fe Mysteries: The Elk Moon Murder
    Exciting and interesting, making you think your way through the game instead of blindly hacking and slashing or defeating endless streams of opponents. For people who enjoy thinking games, track this one down. You'll be glad you did.

    Quake
    After "DOOM" revolutionized first-person shooters, Quake raised the bar and set standards featuring improved visuals in a 3D environment, excellent controls, numerous monsters and a vast online experience.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Chaos Overlords
    There should be more games like this since it marries turn-based strategy and tough decisions into a seamless whole. This is good stuff and worth playing.
    • 91 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Resident Evil
    One of the most important aspects to Resident Evil is the music and sound effects – both of which are nothing short of captivating and involving. The horror sounds and shills of zombies and hounds will keep the hair on the back of your neck full staff and your butt on the edge of your seat.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Descent II
    The sequel has 30 new weapons, new enemy robots and 30 additional levels, but the overall effect is diminished by repetitive gameplay.
    • 94 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    Sid Meier's Civilization II
    It is an incredible and very addictive game; once you start playing you won't want to stop... You will want to play Civilization II over and over, as every game is different.
