Every genre, every era, every must-play. You will not agree with all of it, and that is half the fun. Pick one, start playing, and work your way through a lifetime of greatness.

Three prongs, a wobbly analogue stick, and a cartridge slot. The Nintendo 64 was the home of the four-player split-screen and some of the most beloved games ever made.

From the greatest game ever scored to the cult classics only the faithful remember, here is the essential N64 collection. Blow on the cartridge first.
