I've played a few others besides what I commented on, and I did mention Mystical Ninja. I just didn't see much to add. I have the N64 version of Resident Evil 2, and well, not much to say there. I have the Playstation version of Megaman Legends. I understand some dungeon layouts were altered for the N64 version. Not much to add there except I actually look back on that game and it's followup as good ones, overlooked just because they "weren't Megaman". Nope, they were Megaman Legends, their own animal.
It is true though. Mostly I got Nintendo and Rare games on that system. Generally they're the best ones for that system. There's a handful more I'd like to get in the future, like Mischief Makers, but I didn't see a strong enough case for the others. I generally don't like straight sports games for example. Also, I'm pretty much full up on racing games I'm willing to bother with. There are a number of 3rd party games up there I've played, either rented or played a friend's copy, and I got enough of an impression then. Others I got for other systems, like my Dreamcast version of Shadow Man (for the record, not really worth it, the game looks pretty much the same aside from frame rate being smoother).
I may give Aiden's Chronicle a try... though I wonder if it'll fit my tastes... Thing is, you tend to collect a LOT of stuff on a whim whether it's any good or not, so I didn't think of this as a "recommended" list.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
