Like many Nintendo<\/em> consoles, the Nintendo 64<\/em><\/a> is predominantly remembered for its Legend of Zelda<\/em>\u00a0and Mario<\/em>\u00a0games<\/a>. With titles like Super Mario 64<\/em>, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time<\/em>, Mario Kart 64,<\/em> and The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask<\/em>, it’s easy to see why.<\/p>\n

Collectathon games\u00a0like Banjo-Kazooie <\/em>and Donkey Kong 64<\/em> and innovative Pok\u00e9mon<\/em> games such as Pok\u00e9mon Stadium <\/em>and Pok\u00e9mon Snap <\/em>are also at the forefront of people’s memories when reminiscing about the console. Because of this, the console’s FPS titles are frequently overlooked.<\/p>\n

The Nintendo 64<\/em> didn’t house many FPS games. As developers were instead opting to put their titles on Sony’s PlayStation<\/em><\/a>, which had an older fan base.\u00a0Despite the limited FPS titles, the N64<\/em>\u00a0managed to provide gamers with an excellent array of games. Some of which are still considered to be among the best in the genre.<\/p>\n

10 <\/span>Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivion<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivion<\/em> is considered to be the weakest of the three Turok<\/em> games released on the Nintendo 64<\/em>, but is still a great shooter in its own right.<\/p>\n

Whereas most sequels try to keep gameplay fresh and interesting by adding a multitude of new features,\u00a0Turok 3<\/em> simplified the formula.\u00a0 With secondary ammo, and other of the predecessor’s more complex features\u00a0cut.<\/p>\n

There were some\u00a0gameplay changes though<\/a>, predominantly through\u00a0the\u00a0two playable characters. Instead of controlling Turok, players take the part of either Danielle or Joseph Fireseed. The siblings can use different weapons and have physical attribute differences. Danielle can jump higher than Joseph for example, like a first-person shooting Luigi.<\/p>\n

9 <\/span>Forsaken 64<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Developed by Iguana Entertainment UK, Forsaken 64<\/em> is known for its fluid gameplay and smooth 360-degree movements. The game was primarily geared towards a multiplayer experience. With the split-screen gameplay that GoldenEye<\/em> revolutionized being a prominent feature.<\/p>\n

Forsaken 64<\/em> is also known for its Total Mayhem difficulty mode. The mode provided one of the toughest challenges\u00a0that the N64 had to offer. Total Mayhem was so tricky, in fact, that a patch was released to lower the difficulty substantially.<\/p>\n

8 <\/span>Doom 64<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The sequel to Doom 2, Doom 64<\/em> didn’t try to fix what wasn’t broken.\u00a0With the fast, brutal action gameplay that the series is known for still ever-present. The game suffered from being too similar to its predecessors though, with critics pointing out that the game offered little in the way of innovation.<\/p>\n

There were a few changes to the game’s weapons. But differences like giving the chainsaw an extra blade weren’t enough to entice fans. Subsequently, the game sold poorly.\u00a0Doom 64<\/em>‘s marketing also hurt sales, as many players believed the game to be\u00a0an N64<\/em> port<\/a> of the original Doom.<\/p>\n

Despite this negativity, Doom 64<\/em> earns its spot on this list\u00a0for being\u00a0one of the best early Doom<\/em> games to play retrospectively.<\/p>\n

7 <\/span>Quake<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

If this list judged games based on all console\/PC releases, Quake<\/em> would be near the top. However, when judging the game based on the N64<\/em> version, Quake<\/em> drops a few spots for being an underwhelming port. The lack of cooperative multiplayer and frustrating frame drops make the N64<\/em> port the suboptimal way to play the classic game.<\/p>\n

Quake<\/em> is still great fun to play on the console though, with the disappointing port not being enough to deter from some of the best FPS gameplay of the era.<\/p>\n

6 <\/span>Quake 2<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

It’s not often that Quake 2<\/em>\u00a0finds itself above its predecessor in a ranking list. However,\u00a0Quake 2<\/em> earns its spot for being a far better port than the original.<\/p>\n

Quake 2<\/em> was originally going to be the first game in a new series.\u00a0It was only late in development that id Software<\/em> decided to re-brand the game, as they felt it was too similar to Quake<\/em> to call it anything else.<\/p>\n

Quake 2<\/em> had a more\u00a0methodical\u00a0approach to FPS gameplay than its Doom<\/em>-like predecessor. Players had slower movements and could also crouch, allowing for more tactical, cover-based action.<\/p>\n

5 <\/span>Turok: Dinosaur Hunter<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Turok: Dinosaur Hunter<\/em> is the first game in the\u00a0Turok<\/em> series. It was an adaptation of a popular comic book series of the same title.<\/p>\n

The game had a huge impact on the Nintendo 64\u00a0<\/em><\/a>with the game not just having its own great sales figures, but also boosting console sales too. This historical relevance justifies the opinion of fans who believe that the original trilogy is underrated today.<\/p>\n

4 <\/span>007: The World is Not Enough<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The World is Not Enough<\/em> had the near-impossible job of following on from the previous N64<\/em> Bond game, GoldenEye 007. <\/em>Publishing rights changed from Nintendo<\/em> to EA<\/em>, and development changed hands from Rare<\/em> to Eurocom.<\/em><\/p>\n

Eurocom<\/em> still managed to create an excellent first-person shooter with The World is Not Enough, <\/em>despite it not being held anywhere near the same regard as GoldenEye 007. <\/em><\/p>\n

Unfortunately, the game was crippled by its enemy AI, which is some of the worst of any game on this list.<\/p>\n

3 <\/span>Turok 2: Seeds of Evil<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Turok 2: Seeds of Evil<\/em>‘s\u00a0inclusion in this list completes the hattrick for the original trilogy. Developer’s Iguana Entertainment<\/em> delighted fans by including a multiplayer mode, something that the original game lacked.<\/p>\n

The multiplayer featured characters with differing skills. Agility, speed, health regeneration, and other abilities all varied depending on which character players chose.<\/p>\n

2 <\/span>Perfect Dark<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Rare<\/em> didn’t rest on their laurels after losing the James Bond<\/em> license. They instead created Perfect Dark<\/em>, a spiritual successor to their legendary GoldenEye<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Perfect\u00a0Dark<\/em> had an updated engine from GoldenEye<\/em> and needed the N64′<\/em>s Expansion Pak to run many of its key features.\u00a0Perfect Dark <\/em>also\u00a0bought back the iconic split-screen multiplayer that Rare<\/em> revolutionized. Furthermore, the game had an excellent single-player campaign. With innovative stealth gameplay that was a breath of fresh air from the all-action gameplay of titles like Quake<\/em> and Doom 64.<\/em><\/p>\n

1 <\/span>GoldenEye 007<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

GoldenEye<\/em>\u00a0is not just the best FPS game on the N64<\/em>, but one of the best FPS games ever released. The game undoubtedly shows its age today. But still deserves its\u00a0top spot on this list\u00a0for paving the way for titles like Call of Duty, Halo, <\/em>and Battlefield.<\/em>\u00a0Rare revolutionized split-screen multiplayer on consoles, with excellently designed stages<\/a> that made the\u00a0mode endlessly replayable.<\/p>\n

Often overlooked is the game’s single-player campaign. The objective-based missions are some of the best that the FPS genre has to offer, and it is a testament to the incredible multiplayer mode that it overshadows the great single-player action.<\/p>\n

Also overlooked is the game’s soundtrack.<\/em>\u00a0The music provided the perfect backdrop for the exciting and enjoyable action gameplay.<\/p>\n
