I think for your preferred genres there are actually not that many
games for the n64... especially concerning 2d platforming and rpgs.
Maybe try Quest64/Holy Magic Century for rpgs, Yoshi's Story for platforming,
that Starfox game for shmups and Pokemon Puzzle League for, you know, puzzles.

Here are some games that I enjoy on the n64:

Jet Force Gemini - Great graphics and atmosphere (3rd person shooter)
Glover - Interesting control scheme (3d puzzzle platformer)
Hexen - Actually a good port and fun in splitscreen- coop (fps/hack&slash)
Doom64 - Completely new game, by some considered as the "real" Doom 3 (fps)

I only have one N64 cartridge, and i highly recommend it!

Mortal Kombat Trilogy. It's the only iteration that provides classic Sub-Zero in its complete form.

Mario Kart 64
Mario Party - if you hate your controllers
Perfect Dark - it's Golden Eye on steroids

I also really liked gauntlet but that could be a personal choice.

Echo Patrick on WWE no mercy. The wrestling games on N64 are actually really fun and I strongly dislike that stuff in real life.

I've found Perfect Dark doesn't load with GLideN64 plugin on my Pi. Anyone else get it to run?

@capeman I'm more envious of that jungle green N64
