Nay, sir. Ocarina of Time will need to be added to that list. Other than that omission I give your list a big +1

That'll be why

I still have my N64, it doesnt seem to work properly tho, whenever there is a dark part of the game, the image goes to buggery (brightly lit areas, such as in mario kart, are fine tho?!)

LOL, you guys are gonna make me go get my N64 box out! I remember 1080! Easily the most frustrating snowboarding game EVER! Everything was soooooooo complex, but it was still fun . I dug the music a lot.

This thread inspired me to dig mine out of the closet. I'm going to play some MM tonight after the hockey game.

Thanks for the suggestions guys! I'm going to hit up a local tabletop gaming store that I believe has some old videogames and see if I can pick up some of the classics.

Definitely Ocarina.

Mario Golf and Mario Tennis can be pretty amusing, too.

Diddy Kong Racing is another good one...hmmm. Donkey Kong 64 is okay too, but you have to have that expansion pack thingy.
