Well, no, it's not a "recommended" list, it's a list of everything I own, and yes, I want to own a lot more N64 games too. I have many of the better ones, but I wouldn't mind eventually owning all non-sports N64 games... :)
There are two goals to this list of reviews, first to do it -- because I love the N64 and think it's worthwhile and fun -- and second to encourage people to play N64 games beyond the usual Nintendo and Rare stuff, because there ARE some good ones out there. Of course those are great, and I'm reviewing those too, but they're not the only good N64 games. It probably is true that this won't be the most critical list, because I like the N64 a lot and do like a lot of its games, but I do try to say in the reviews what I think of games. I don't entirely praise everything.
Oh, and as for racing games, the N64 version of San Francisco Rush 2049 is of course still to this day both my favorite racing game ever, and my most-played console game. It's also a game I still play regularly. I know there's also a Dreamcast version, but... it's fantastic too, but I like the N64 version more. But yeah, I love that game so, so much... it's still easily one of my favorite console games ever!
As for Aidyn, yeah, sure, give it a try. I don't know if you'll like it or not, but it's unique, for sure, and if you do like it it'll definitely last. Just make sure to save often and use a bunch of save files (despite their size). And have patience, you'll need it with this game. But it's like nothing else on the system, and not much else in the generation too, perhaps...
