About GoldenEye 007 (1997 video game)

GoldenEye 007 is one of the most influential first-person shooters ever made, released for the Nintendo 64 in 1997. Based on the James Bond film of the same name, it lets you play through the movie's missions as Bond, from the dam infiltration to the finale on the GoldenEye satellite. The game was revolutionary for its time: stealth elements, optional objectives that unlock bonus missions, and — most famously — four-player split-screen multiplayer that turned it into a social phenomenon. Its multiplayer modes, weapons, and level design spawned countless imitators, and the game is often credited with popularizing the console FPS genre. The soundtrack is legendary, the missions are packed with memorable moments, and even today it is remembered as a defining title of the N64 era. A remaster was completed but never officially released, keeping the original the definitive version.
