Goldeneye 64 is easily in my top five best Nintendo 64 games ever made. I devoted many hours of my life to this fantastic game. Granted, the game is crap compared to today's standards, but it's still a gem in my eyes.

It's been years since I last played this game, but thanks to this fan video, I'm now on the hunt for the Nintendo 64 again. This recreation of the Facility level (best level in the game!) is old, but it's pretty fun to watch so shut your whore mouth with the old comments. 

It's funny how I thought Goldeneye was the best game ever made back in 1995 1997. The A.I. was horrible, the aiming system was sh*t and chairs exploded like a bomb if you shot them up.

The best part of this fan video is when "Bond" aims at a bad guy and a reticle on a wire pops up. Classic.

All games need exploding office furniture.

is it wrong for me to be terribly depressed that they switch from a facility recreation to a jumble of a ton of levels midway through?

You talk about exploding chairs like it's a BAD thing.

Not only the chairs, the file cabinets too. The sound of the Klobb really takes me back. Tick-i-da Tick-i-da Tick-a-da

That was amazing.
Making the Klobb totally suck is excellent attention to detail right there.

That was charming and hilarious.

Bonus points for bringing me back to '97. Lovely nostalgia...

glandseck said it all. i preferred tossing knives at people over using that silly piece of trash. i'm relatively certain that it shot peanuts. what ken lobb did wrong to deserve that gun being named after him, we may never know.

Yes, 1997. 1995 is the year I got the system!

This is awesome. I love how he blows the hat off the guard before he hits him in the head.

It's a shame the game didn't hold up over time. Not many games on that platform did, actually.

I don't understand how fools can hate on GoldenEye these days. I just played it a couple months ago with my girlfriend and it's great fun. Maybe it's the same idiots who expect RE5 to be Halo that are expecting GoldenEye to be Halo, too.

But if you go in expecting it to be a bit of a dated design that's still fun it's great and a whole lot more fun than Halo. In fact, if they put out a version with slightly polished up graphics on 360 with new maps (and a map editor of some sort) it'd be more incentive to sell out and help microsoft expand their monopoly of garbage products into the living room than anything they've yet put out on xbox.

I think I read somewhere about so and so trying to get Rare to help to rerelease GoldenEye at some point. Don't quote me on that. Awhile back I would have figured it would have just found a seat in the Wii's oldies rereleases, but since Nuts and Bolts and the original Banjo-Kazooie game were both finding their way to the 360, it would now almost seem necessary for GoldenEye to be out on the XBLA at some point. Curious.

The video though- made me smile and laugh the whole way through. Ah, nostalgia. The good old days of elementary-through-junior-high-school, sitting around with friends, drinking Surge and Mountain Dew, playing multiplayer (dare I say it, splitscreen?!!? Unheard of, I tell you!!!) until the wee wee weeeeiner hours of the morning until we passed out. And Perfect Dark can go fuck itself. Even if I did like it a lot. Perfect Dark lagged out the ass, and was trying to be too complicated. Booo!

All it needs is an endless stream of guards when the alarm sounds, awful clipping, and most of all... Get Down!

Hey. I liked perfect dark on the N64. It was an improvement on Goldeneye. (Tons more weapons, teamplay, bots) Yeah it was a little choppy at times, but it was like having a local LAN party without having to spend money on 3 other computers.

I also recall making a Facility level using the map editor for Soldier of Fortune 2. I sat there for weeks, comparing the hallways to the N64, and making sure it felt like the Goldeneye level. I think I may still have that map somewhere...
Maybe I could make a CoD map of it... hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm That is unless someone else did, already.

No, I'm pretty sure you didn't get the system in 1995 either Hamza, considering it came out in fall of 96'. I'd know, coz' it was the first (and only) time I ever got a brand new console for Christmas.

I was laughing at the little wire-based crosshair that popped up. :OD

Yeah, this is excellent in an 'amateur-effort' kinda way.

That is freakin' hilarious!

Hamza, if you are looking to recreate or perhaps reconnect with the good old Goldeneye days and you have a steam account, you could always get the Goldeneye Source Mod:
http://goldeneyesource.net/

It is creepily similar to the original Goldeneye (but with the benefit of keyboard + mouse controls!)

Excuse me gentlemen, but I will thank you not to hate on Goldeneye. Of course they've made better games since it came out, but that doesn't mean that it lacks replayability. Why, not two years ago as my senior year of college drew to a close, I played through this entire game, completing each level on every difficulty and earning all the cheats legitimately. I don't think I've ever had a more satisfying gaming experience than that. I was more proud of unlocking invincibility from the facility than I was to be earning my degree.
