are you kidding me?? goldeneye was the $hit! i liked it so much more than perfect dark. perfect dark was too cheesy IMO. a lot of the weapons were incredibly lame, especially when playing with the bots. for example, a bot would pickup the controllable RL and fly the missile around the level and kill me as i spawned :(

Good list. I also really liked F-Zero X. I don't know why. It was a cheesy game, but fun to just mindlessly zone out, requires no thought to play. Wave Race is a good one too. And if you like RPGs, Quest 64 may be worth a try too. I only played it a little but seemed fun.

Yup, those are pretty much it. Except I wouldn't consider Extreme G, Pilot Wings, and Beetle Adv Racing to be good enough to be must-haves.

Jet Force Jemini, I'd say, is a must have as well.

If you don't own a cube, get Ocarina of Time. Best, Zelda, Ever. If you do own a cube, get a copy of the new Zelda bonus disk as it includes Zelda 1 and 2 from the NES, Ocarina of Time, and Majora's Mask.

No. They're not connected in any way, shape, or form (story-wise).

I don't want Goldeneye because it feels like the same game to me as Perfect Dark. I don't like RPGs or Starfox. Mario Kart wouldn't be bad. Blast Corps sounds interesting too.

I should mention, we're getting an X-Box in a day or two also. So I'm kinda looking for classic N64 games that don't have similar titles for XBox.
