Right, here's something for those who like their Classic Nintendo lists... What was your favourite game on the N64 that WASN'T published/distributed by Nintendo. Please note that rules out all Zelda and Mario games, as well as all Rare games (except Conker's BFD, but you can't choose that either... hahaha!) So... what else did you like? Here's a shortlist of my own favourites: - Snowboard Kids - the Mario Kart of snowboard games. The N64 gave the game a charm that couldn't be bettered on superior hardware... which is why my heart skipped a beat when I saw a sequel was coming to the Nintendo DS.
- Mystical Ninja starring Goemon - Konami's main hero sets off for an adventure that just about puts Mario to shame. It's big, it's varied, (it's pigging hard) and it's got the silliest Japanese theme songs and humour of any game I've played.
- Turok: Dinosaur Hunter - the original will always be the best. Foggy backgrounds and annoying jumping sections, but ultimately this was the N64 at its early best. And the guy who was in charge of the original's development is now making the Metroid Prime games
- Space Station: Silicon Valley - Crap graphics, but an awesome action-puzzle game. I played this solidly till a friend spilled coke in it...
And games I wish I'd played at the time: Buck Bumble, Tonic Trouble, Glover, the Castlevanias, and Body Harvest |

Umm..... wow.... I don't think I have a single N64 game with-out the little red and white Nintendo logo on it...
Oh wait... there's Glover. I kinda liked Glover. So, I guess my top 10 list would be:
1-10: Glover
And, my copy of Star Wars: Episode I Racing seems to have both the Lucas Arts logo and the Nintendo logo... what does that make it?

Conker - but since I can't list that... Body Harvest! The first level was Greece! (I'm Greek-Australian, so that was cool) - I got to save the Greek locals in a howitzer, blasting alien scum! Conker was better though - the poo monster... it must have taken the mind of a true genius to come up with that!  |

And, my copy of Star Wars: Episode I Racing seems to have both the Lucas Arts logo and the Nintendo logo... what does that make it? It makes it "Distributed Exclusively by Nintendo" - I'm not entirely sure what that means, but Nintendo did it a lot during the N64 era. The F-1 World Grand Prix games, many Rare games, two Star Wars games, and (I think) a Cruis'n game fall into that category. If anyone knows what it means... don't hesitate to tell Anyway, I banned all published/distributed games *desires an evil-grin smiley to add here* |

I can change the ones that are already there, and most of the images, but it doesn't look like I can add new ones. But maybe I can... I'll play with the board more.
So if I break it, blame Narf ;D

.....Uh, Mischief Makers?
Man, that game was fun. It probably would've made a great Anime, as well...

.....Uh, Mischief Makers? Nintendo published it I think.... if nothing else, the little red Nintendo logo is on the cart. Would'a been on the top of my list too. |

Mischief Makers was published by Nintendo in the US and Europe, and by Enix in Japan. I like it, but I wish it didn't use the D-Pad... it needs such precise movements that my fingers are red-raw by the time I've done a couple of stages.

Cruisn' World was probably more popular in my house as a racing game than Mario Kart 64 (blasphemy, I know).

I picked up Cruis'n USA and Cruis'n World recently. Cruis'n USA was actually played a lot by my housemates at university. That was very odd. I weaned them off with a bunch of Star Wars games (Rogue Squadron and Episode I Racer dragged them free) But the Cruis'n games were published by Nintendo, I'm afraid  |

Now this is a tricky question.
Body Harvest was originally going to be published by Nintendo, and DMA Design did have a helping hand from EAD on it. Midway ultimately published it, and it's one of my favorite games of all time.
Then there's Ogre Battle 64, another one of my favorites. Nintendo published it in Japan, but not in the US (Atlus did). So that's ruled out from the publishing angle.
Since BH was published by Midway, I have to go with that one. After that, International Superstar Soccer 98, then Resident Evil 2 (a fine port) and the original Turok.
