A follow-up to the first 63 1/3 game, Sculptor's Cut was a Blockbuster Video exclusive.

6. Bomberman 64 The Second Attack - $30

Bomberman 64 Second Attack is a sequel to a game that didn't sell very well either. Second Attack is quite rare because it released at the end of the Nintendo 64's popularity. Many gamers had already moved onto newer systems so it didn't sell very well.

7. Conker's Bad Fur Day - $30

Conker's was also hurt by releasing in late 2001. Within one year of its release the Nintendo 64 was discontinued. The game was received very well critically and is considered one of the best games on the N64 graphically.

9. Starcraft 64 - $29

Starcraft is another strategy game in the top ten. It is the only real-time strategy game on the N64 but sold poorly. The game is still good but is hampered by poor controls with the N64 controller.

10. Super Bowling - $28

This game had a very small print run and didn't sell well so it was never produced again. It is one of the more rare games on the list but is not very popular so it doesn't appear any higher than the 10th spot.
