Allow me to go eightyfive year old grandpa on you;

I remember back in the days, playing GoldenEye on the N64. Four player splitscreen, all yelling "C'mon, that's BULLSHIT!" like the early symptoms of becoming the stereotypical Xbox Live player we are. I, holing myself up in the toilets on the Facility map, covering the perimeter with proximity mines and a 12 Guage Shotgun. My buddy Paul, who owned the game, charging with the AK, kicking all our asses. The third guy, Jim(R.I.P.) running about, not knowing what the hell the controls are. And the last fella', Jeffrey, finds new ways to super-camp the Golden Gun.

That all changed when Paulie got Perfect Dark, we never played the "Best FPS ever" together ever again. Though, it was because of Perfect Dark simply being better. Putting all bots of "Brutal Vengance". One good player, one mediocre, and two reaching new lows per gun they find. Paulie, in love with the phenomenon "RUN! THEY'RE COMIN' FOR US!". Me throwing around N-bomb's and blinding everyone, including myself, Jimmy shooting tons of holes in the walls, but somehow not hitting the enemies and Jeff who simply says "Fuck it" and goes to hide out underneath a bunch of boxes, blowing the hell out of everyone that passes.

It's been over four years since I last played 007: GoldenEye. I own a copy of Perfect Dark, but I don't have one of those packs, and can't play Single-Player.

Seeing as I got 'em Steam games running again, I figured I'd download some mods. GoldenEye: Source being one of them. And damn does GoldenEye: Source look alot like 007: GoldenEye. Copyright infringement FTW! Anyway, it's got all the maps revised in Source format. Props, items and most textures used from the HL2 engine. But the extreme gore, and the ragdolling - Priceless.

To name something, the walking down a hallway on the Citadel map(Big open radarplatform, roughly 80FT above ground), and hearing a shotgun blast, followed by watching the poor bastard smack his face against the walkway you're walking on. Followed by watching him drop all the way to the ground. It's got all the guns, levels and even some custom stuff. It's truely a total conversion.

Meeeemmmoorrrieeesss.......

There was a really cool map on the multiplayer for GoldenEye on N64. I remember blasting down my brother all the time as he go searching for me on the bottom floor. It was funny when he realised I was right above him. BOOM. That Golden Gun was sweet too.

Heard that Goldeneye had been fully developed for XBOX Arcade with an extra spit and polish but was unable to be released due to no agreement being reached between all the parties involved. Thanks for the info on the Goldeneye: Source mod, I'm off to take a look.

Ah memories, we used to only play on "Facility" for some reason.  It was totally cool to shoot out all the TV and computer screens.

I've never played GoldenEye. Maybe I'll check that mod out.

It's mad rough around the edges, but the memories are still great.

I enjoyed playing the mod with you! It was pretty fun and I won all of the matches :P

I remember spending nights playing Goldeneye with my friends and cousins, the great ol' days. I think I may try that source mod out.

wow all the people that have been playing games before me say, that goldeneye was awesome i might have to play that game one day

Got into this a while ago but when i was playing it, it was fairly buggy. Not sure if it's the same now, but the trip down memory lane it takes you on is immense.
In the n64 days i was more of a perfect dark man myself though :)

Goldeneye: Source is fun...When I can play a map without framerate issues.

Counter Strike: Never was a fan.
Goldeneye: Haven't played it yet, although I have it on the N64.
Perfect Dark: Haven't played it and not sure that I will.

I remember when you had to block all those swear words out with little stars.......those were the days.

Man, that game must have moved some serious extra controllers for Nintendo (Something they still seem to constantly push.) No way would I have spent the cash to get 3 more of em without the inspiration of Goldeneye.
Those proximity mines were hell, unless you were the one laying em' everywhere.

Eighty five year old grandpa? If reminiscing about N64 is that old, then what do I call it when I get all NES, SMS, and Arcade games?
