Goldeneye 64

[Indy500]

Who remembers this classic on the Nintendo 64?

Here's a live action recreation (as seen in NGamer and GamesMaster magazines):

That was an awesome game. I miss my x64

It was amazing back in the day, doesn't hold up well anymore.

Remember seeing that video ages ago, reminds of the Dave Chappelle sketch of GTA.

Incredible game when it was released, wouldn't fancy playing it now though.

Indeed, my mate "invented" this box system which split the screen into four or two. Unfortunatly you had to lie flat in front of the tv to see. Great game though, even better then Doom, multiplayer.

Erm...

Bit confused by what you mean - do you mean putting boxes on the screen so only you could see your section?

Yup, a lot of people did that back in the day.

Used to spend many hours with friends from school playing this.

The game aint that bad to play still aside from frame rate issues.

I still think Facility is one of the best levels ever constructed.

Couldn't agree with you more!

Facility, Multiplayer, Pistols Only, License to Kill. I could play that all day

 

[rjk]

i think i could probably tell you the location of every enemy trooper in the facility level

i might go and look for an emulator tonight and have a bash

 

[Indy500]

Speaking of Facility...

 

[Margaret]

Good back then, but I don't want to play it now.

 

[Begbie]

lol

 

[insane200]

my old man still plays the n64 i bought him with golden eye

 

[Naffa]

What a bloody great game. I remember having eight friends taking it in turns playing multiplayer... Good times. I wish games were being made today that made me feel the same way.

 

[ikillbears]

i believe it was going to be released on xbox live but microsoft and nintendo couldnt agree on a pricing issue

Incredible game when it was released, wouldn't fancy playing it now though.

I had a micro-LAN party at my house a while back that consisted solely of playing 4-man Goldeneye through a projector shining onto the outside wall of my house. Though fun was had by all I couldn't help but notice how trite feeling the game was.

Then it occurred to me: This game feels tired and used not because it's not a good game. It feels that way because so many games that followed it picked up on its innovations such that now people expect what it brings to the table. An FPS stealth elements and varied objectives was revolutionary. It might not have been the first to implement these, but it was the first to get it right.
