The N64 was a console that many gamers remember fondly, as it was an important part of their childhood. This was mainly because of the abundance of great games that were released for it, some that gamers even want to be revived for modern consoles. There are some games, however, that not many have had the chance to play due to how rare they are for one reason or another. Getting them today isn't as hard due to online marketplaces, but the prices of these games are far from cheap.

In this list, you will get to know some of the rarest games for the N64 out there, as well as what their prices are (sourced from the handy database at pricecharting.com).

10 007 GoldenEye [Not For Resale] ($300)

Some of the rarest cartridges for the N64 around are the ones that are labeled as Not For Resale. What this means is that they were game cartridges that were used in toy stores as free demos for people to play and see if they wanted to buy the full game. After a while, the cartridges were to be sent back to Nintendo or disposed of, but some of them made their way into the hands of collectors. 007 GoldenEye is a very well-known N64 game, and the Not For Resale version of it is rare, so the price reflects that quite well.

Whether or not the game is worth the price depends on who you ask, but $300 for one game is a bit steep no matter what.

9 Turok 2: Seeds Of Evil [Not For Resale] ($350)

Continuing the trend, Turok 2: Seeds of Evil also had cartridges made as in-store demos that later became collectibles with very high value. What improves the value, however, is the stellar reception of the base game due to how innovative and impressive most of its aspects were, so much so that it even got a remaster in 2017. The cartridge was special because it included the first level of the game as a demo with a lot of beta content that got removed later on.

Shooting aliens with an arsenal of both old-fashioned and futuristic weapons may sound fun, but when a single cartridge costs $350 it really makes you think twice before getting it.

8 Pokémon Snap [Not For Resale] ($365)

It's no surprise that a Pokémon game would be on this list. Either way, the last time a "Not For Resale" version cartridge of this game was sold, it went for $365, which is way more than most of us would be willing to spend for a game that is mainly about taking photos in a safari.

This was a special demo made for Blockbuster chains, making this cartridge even more valuable than ever.

7 Worms Armageddon ($164 - $950)

The Worms franchise is the stuff of legends, having numerous entries that have loads of fans to this very day. Worms Armageddon is regarded as the best entry in the franchise, which is evident by the exceedingly high N64 cartridge prices.

Although there are some that sell for cheap, working cartridges today usually go for around $164, while unopened and graded ones have sold for $950!

6 Super Bowling ($307 - $997)

Who would have thought that a game about bowling would end up costing a fortune a few decades after release? While the game was generally well-received, the main reason for its high value is its rarity due to the timing of its release.

The game was released near the end of the N64 production cycle, limiting the number of cartridges that were made greatly.

5 WCW Backstage Assault [Gray Cart] ($267 - $1749)

Wrestling games have been in and out of popularity for as long as anyone can remember. The quality of said games varied greatly, however, as evidenced by games such as WCW Backstage Assault. For whatever reason, this game about wrestling took place outside the wrestling ring, which confused everyone who played it. While the base game isn't too expensive, the gray cartridge version of the game is, since the normal cartridge most people got was blue.

Even though the game got generally bad reviews, the price of a new and graded cartridge is huge, which goes to show that rarity often outweighs quality here.

4 The Legend Of Zelda: Majora's Mask [Not For Resale] ($1041)

There are very few gamers who have not heard of the masterpiece that is Majora's Mask, but there aren't many who know about the Not For Resale cartridge it had that is extremely rare and expensive nowadays. What was special about this cartridge was that it had a demo of the game, along with save states and beta content that was changed in the final release. There were also two versions of the Not For Resale cartridge - gold and gray, the latter being the more expensive one.

This being one of the rarest Not For Resale N64 games today, we're not surprised that there weren't many cartridge sales documented, and the ones that were sold went for a fortune.

3 Bomberman 64: The Second Attack ($143 - $1399)

Bomberman is a franchise that not many younger gamers may know of, but back in the days of the SNES and N64, it was quite popular. When Bomberman 64: The Second Attack came out, many fans were disappointed, as the game did little to innovate or improve upon earlier games. The game is quite rare now mainly due to planning - it was released near the end of N64's cycle, had bad marketing, and poor reviews didn't help either.

Be that as it may, today this game is one of the most expensive N64 games you could get, especially if you're looking for the full package that is in perfect condition.

2 Stunt Racer 64 ($214 - $3500)

Arcade-style racing games are always fun to play once in a while, especially with friends, but who could have expected that one such game would end up becoming so valuable? Stunt Racer 64 was a simple racing game with multiple game modes and upgrade systems, so the value certainly didn't come from it being a superb game. Its value comes from its rarity, due to it being a Blockbuster exclusive, meaning the only way of getting the game was from them.

What makes it even more expensive is that a lot of people would rent the game and return it, meaning the rarity of complete sets of cartridge, manual, and box in perfect mint condition is out of this world.

1 Clay Fighter: Sculptor's Cut ($422 - $4000)

If you ever wondered what the most expensive N64 game is, then look no further than Clay Fighter: Sculptor's Cut. This particular version of the game was a rental exclusive for Blockbuster with a very limited supply of 20,000 copies. The limited run, coupled with relatively negative reviews as well as the fact that most copies that were rented got damaged, substantially increased the value of the entire package, especially those in mint condition. This is currently regarded as being the rarest and most expensive game, whether it be the cartridge, or the full set of a cartridge, box, and manual.

When it comes to rare games whose sole purpose today is to be a collectible and stand on a shelf due to how expensive it is, Clay Fighter: Sculptor's Cut is at the top.
