ha Ha. Yeah, it was tough.
And largely based on luck, if your run doesn't have the scientist with the key in the right place it's pretty much impossible.

Was just talking to my friend about this, he was the only one out of our group that could do it
IIRC it literally took me weeks and was the last cheat I needed to fully unlock '007' on your save card. Surprised I didn't smash my controller to pieces, I best have a backup at the ready as I clearly don't have as much patience as I did in my teens
I used to make a bit of money in high school unlocking that cheat and the two bonus levels for people, i'd charge £5 for an unlocked cart
I don't fancy my odds of unlocking it anymore mind lol
yeah. I remember The Cradle target time being largely luck too. Sometimes shooting them in the face wasn't enough.
Is it that level that you blow up the big container tanks at the end? 'cos I remember ******* up and blowing myself up in my rush when I otherwise would have beaten it
That's the one.Is it that level that you blow up the big container tanks at the end? 'cos I remember ******* up and blowing myself up in my rush when I otherwise would have beaten it
It's also aged badly.
I disagree. Still a competent shooter and fun to play.

Yep, you start in the vents!
Who remembers the hack to get back up into the vent? It was something like rotate right with the yellow buttons whilst holding the analogue stick left. Good times!

I remember that trick. I also did 00 in 2:05 (I think) the game was so addictive. It was also the first game that ever gave me motion sickness too. The struggle was real. I would play 10 minutes feel horribly sick but loved the game so much play again 20 minutes later for another 10 minutes over and over.

Unreal might have looked good, but Goldeneye's gameplay was on a whole different level. Particularly the increasing objectives as you upped the difficulty.
Quake was more of a techical showcase. Never thought it was as fun as DOOM

Surely will need to modernise them, neither the Xbox or Switch will lend itself to the same control scheme, I guess some have the "Retro N64" Switch joy pad but not all.
For what its worth the leaked XBLA "remake" from a few years ago had a modernised control scheme.

I'm sure it's been confirmed that there is a dual analogue control mode.
) but could easily implement it with one analogue stick and d-pad to replicate the former glorious controls.

Yeah I played the leaked XBLA remake earlier this year with some friends and the controls were the more modern variety.
Was still a laugh - knifes only.
