Its not as bad as it sounds. 10 years on and off. I havent played since 2000- I found Perfect Dark then. I bought it in 1996 and played on and off until 2000- bear in mind I was very young when I started playing.
That said I dug it out and started playing- lo and behold I finished it.

The N64 is still the ultimate console I think. And Perfect dark is the ultimate game. Grin

Goldeneye is still to the day in my opinion the greatest ever multiplayer console game ever made.

My most memorable Goldeneye multiplayer game was when the only weapon allowed was proximity mines. After 15 minutes or so you couldn't move with out blowing up.

It was only ever bettered by a Perfect Dark match we had where the only weapons were crossbows with sedative darts and shotguns. The theory being to sedate your opponent intill they couldn't see then to shoot them with the shotgun while they're running about like a headless chicken.

As for school, we had a Sega megadrive there. Bomberman all the way. Grin

Proximity Mines !!??!!?! Shocked

Wow, I guess being a kid in the UK really is tougher than here in the US, we only had knives in elementary school!

Goldeneye and Perfect Dark were two of the best FPSs ever. Oh, how many hours down the drain on MP... 8)

Ah goldeneye. That game was incredible. The only newer mp console game that even comes close to as much fun is Halo. I remember me and my brother would play goldeneye for hours, and it was always a race on certain levels to see who could get the rocket launcher first lol. The most fun I had was on the silo level I entered a cheat to be invincible then ran around after the big explosion.

Man, I should go hook up my N64 and play!

I still say that Perfect Dark is still the best multiplayer game ever made. The maps, the skins, the modes of play, and the whole multiplayer campaign along with the Single Player one. Hands down it is king. Unfortunately the new one does it absolutely no justice. Well I just got out the good ole emulator (unfortunately I sold my N64) and had a go.

I had a serious Goldeneye problem for a while... thank God Rob moved out of the loft and took that damned 64 console with him...! Grin

Fantastic game!!

Last time I happened upon the movie on TV, I had a nasty Nintendo flashback... started twiddling my thumbs uncontrollably... Cheesy

I got to the point where I could get about 3/4 thru the last level, but something always went wrong. I think I got fried in the Shuttle takeoff a few times... Tongue

Did anyone not enjoy Goldeneye? A classic game of a classic movie. 8) I've played the Goldeneye mod for Half Life 2, but, alas, it isn't the same.

Good memories...

I remember using the little Plastiques. Anyone else remember those? YOu would throw them and no matter how far you run, the explosion would always reach and kill you.

As classic and brilliant though Golden Eye was on the N64 I'm afraid that Perfect Dark will always reign supreme in my eyes, same as CTJoyce. Grin
