Sure, today it has a very unstable frame rate and looks as blocky as hell but damn if it wasn't fun to get your friends together and have a shootout in the Facility. We used to play for hours after school until the late hours of the night trying to get that every elusive Body Armor or Golden Gun. Once we played with 1 hit kills, and to this day my friend figured out the timing on explosions and can proclaim, "I can walk through fire! Hell yeah!" before killing us with his pistol.
To this day, people ask for an updated port of Goldeneye and while it appears to be stuck in legal limbo at least its spiritual successor Perfect Dark has been re-released along with all the Goldeneye remake maps. And while it features all the modern bells and whistles like Live support and 60 fps, there's something about the days when my friends all got together and we'd sit on the couch and play for hours.
The good folks at CollegeHumor pay tribute to this game in one of their latest videos:
Now if you pardon me I need to reverse spin myself up into the air ducts of Facility.
