Feeling nostalgic. These are the Nintendo 64 games I actually lived in — US carts, ranked, from when I was on the system.
I was heavily into the N64 from launch (Sep 1996) through late 1999. Donkey Kong 64 was one of my last carts. I missed Majora's Mask, Perfect Dark, Banjo-Tooie, and the rest of the 2000+ library.
Not an all-N64 ranking. Just the games that were out while I was still playing.
