So far I've tried Magic Sword, Guilty Gear (which I've also played before), and the three N64 games. Magic Sword is pretty good. Guilty Gear X2 Reload is great of course. Turok 3 is good, finally an N64 Turok game without insanely large save files, save points an hour apart or more, levels that take a half hour to an hour to get through, and limited lives and continues on top of that! It's very nice to have a Turok game which you can just enjoy, instead of constantly suffering like with the first two games, and the second one especially...
Buck Bumble's okay. Decent graphics apart form the fog, fun-seeming flying-shooter gameplay. :)
Dark Rift is horrible. It's from the developers of Criticom, and is, like that one, obviously a Toshinden clone. It's even worse than Toshinden. The AI is incredibly frustrating and annoyingly designed, there are no ring-outs (infinite arenas instead), the game is slow... ugh. It's kind of fun, in the early matches before I start dying constantly, but even when it's fun it's obviously bad. It's no War Gods, but yes, it's bad. :) ... I beat it once already. If it wasn't so frustrating it could be a fun game, I think, for an early 3d fighting game... oh well. Oh, the character designs are actually decent to good, much better than was average for 3d fighting games at that point. (See: War Gods...)
