The Nintendo 64 arrived in the US in 1996 and blew minds. It was many a young gamer's first experience of full 3D environments in games, which seemed possibly lush next to the flat 16-bit spites we were used to from the 16-bit SNES era.
An often-overlooked gem, the Nintendo 64 produced some of the finest games of its entire generation. While the PlayStation got all the plaudits, the N64 pumped out classic after classic... with the odd stinker. No, Superman 64 does not feature in this list.
The following 21 titles are the best N64 games we ever wiggled a joystick at. Click in, enjoy a nostalgia-blast - and let us know if we missed any of your personal favourites.

As Content Director of Shortlist, Marc likes nothing more than to compile endless lists of an evening by candlelight. He started out life as a movie writer for numerous (now defunct) magazines and soon found himself online - editing a gaggle of gadget sites, including TechRadar, Digital Camera World and Tom's Guide UK. At Shortlist you'll find him mostly writing about movies and tech, so no change there then.
