The only N64 game I loved was 1080 Snowboarding which is weird cause I haven't liked a snowboarding game since, nor cared for them before that.
1080 was an obscenely hard game. You ever actually pull off a 1080? I never did, but my insane mate Kev did, it was worth it just to hear the voice shout "TEEEEEEEEEN EEIIIIIGHTY!!!"
Perfect Dark is an excellent example of a game that was too ambitious for the system it was launched on. Even with the Expansion pack it was subject to some truly monstrous slowdown. I downloaded the HD re-release on XBLA not so long ago. Surprisingly it's still fun to play.
My personal recommendation to this list would be THQ's grappling games. WCW/nWo World Tour, Revenge, WWF WrestleMania 2000 and WWF No Mercy. No Mercy is still the benchmark by which I measure wrestling games, sure the graphics have improved and more physics and features have come along in recent years, but it still stands to me as the best total package in the wrasslefest market.
Oh, and on the subject of classic Rare titles, Blast Corps was a lot of fun. Although the difficulty of some of the later missions meant I never came close to finishing the bugger.
What else....
How about Super Smash Bros.? Body Harvest [Not a personal fave but a few of my mates gave it some praise] is another one, Space Station Silicone Valley? That was a quirky *****. Anyhoo, enough, there were quite a few real quality titles on the 64. Aaaah, I miss those days *sniff*
