GoldenEye 64

Post Reply New Topic

Remote mines were my Achilles Heel, so to speak.

It's what got me through a time of megadepression in 1999 when my dad had died. Helped me to do something other than focus on his death, and also it was a really cool game for its time. I would actually prefer it over the Wii version of GoldenEye at the very least for reasons of nostalgia if not also for how well done it was in consideration of the technology of the time.

GoldenEye was awesome! I still have it but my TV is too updated for my N64

Big heads and paintball was insane!

Your TV doesn't have a coaxial input? Perhaps there might be able to be found a coaxial to A/V adapter at a Radioshack or similar store?

Loved it, you can actually download it on the nintendo wii along with a bunch of other 64 games

I played it on Friday, it's not very good =/

I don't know about the single player, but the multiplayer is just a Call of Duty ripoff. It's nothing like the original game, and they managed to leave out a lot of the original configuration options, while neglecting to add any worthwhile new features (like bots).



Or you can get a composite or s-video cable for the SNES/N64/GameCube from eBay or the like. I'm sure GameStop and similar stores still sell them (though probably only third party ones).

such memories

The Wii re-imagining of the N64 version is utter cr*p of a game. I tried to kill a bunch of guys on the Dam, running in guns blazing and the game froze! That entire game is nothing but a Call of Duty clone. C'mon, the multiplayer even has an EXP system! And unless you're playing the "007 Classic" difficulty, there's health regen. Did the original N64 game have health regen? No.

I personally think Nightfire was the best Bond game, but I do remember those nights where I'd play Goldeneye with friends.

Loved it, and still love it. I remember playing multiplayer with my brother and a friend of ours for hours on end over at my friend's house. We all got ridiculously good at it, too; to the point where as soon as the game started, you knew the only way to survive more than a minute was to grab a weapon and start hunting down the other two players.

We did all kinds of strange weapon and rule sets, too. Stuff like mines only, slappers, knives only, pistols only, and whatever else we could think of to make it even more amusing and challenging. I was almost always Boris, my friend was Bond, and my brother was usually Trevelyan. We also played what we called 'suicide matches', where we competed to see who could execute the most elaborate and effective booby-trap to commit suicide with, using mines and rockets.

There was also this one vent shaft on Complex that I would sometimes camp in and wait for the other two to come looking for me. It was a dead end, out of the way, and you couldn't see in until you got right up to the entrance of it. By the time they got that close though, I'd already gunned them down, of course. It annoyed them to no end, to say the least. I won quite a few matches that way. They finally figured out that a good tactic was to lob in a grenade, a mine or a rocket in first and come in shooting.

I felt like Nightfire was a harken back to GoldenEye, myself, which was definitely a good thing. It got right most of the game play GoldenEye originally did right, and also had updated graphics and a decent story, as well. It was a refreshing change after the clunky cluster-fuck that was Agent Under Fire. Nightfire and GoldenEye are tied for first for the best Bond games, in my opinion. Haven't played Blood Stone yet, though.
