GoldenEye is a first-person shooter game that was released for the Nintendo 64 console in 1997. It is based on the James Bond film of the same name and features a single-player campaign in which players control Bond as he completes missions and fights against enemy agents.

If you read the lyrics to the absolute banger that is Tina Turner's GoldenEye, it sounds a bit rapey. It would slip effortlessly into The Nightman Cometh if not for the want of a troll toll.

But anyway - it seems only fitting to play this in the same season as Doom. Where the former built a cathedral to the FPS genre on the foundations of Wolfenstein, GoldenEye grabbed a box filled with bibles and promptly used them to slap millions into following the cause. People beyond the wheel have been clamouring for a re-release for decades and you, good people, have been eagerly looking forward to it ever since it was wedged into the sinister spinning pie of struggle.

And now I'm going to ruin it for you.

What are the rules?

Difficulty must be set to 00 Agent - the hardest mode that doesn't need to be unlocked.

Controls must also be set to the N64s default. Do NOT modify the controls to make it easier or more palatable to the modern FPS user; we duel by the skills the 90's required of us. You're gonna need gold fingers to get anywhere this time.

Progress: Levels complete

Time: 5 hours - HOWEVER the first level (Dam) is a freebie to learn the controls. Don't start the timer until level 2 (Facility). You have plenty of time to die.

Tiebreaker: Time upon completion of your last level.

Secondary tiebreaker: Deaths. This may be necessary in case of a bottleneck! Don't think you only live twice; live and let dies be recorded!

No cheats!

You can play this on the N64 (via original hardware or emulation) or through Switch online/Xbox Live. I also believe that Rare Replay owners get it for free! However as @MR MATT INTERNET acknowledged, those sneaky fucks at Microsoft want you to have a good time playing GoldenEye and will map your controller kindly. This is very naughty and will not be tolerated.

Good luck out there and remember: the fun may be gone after a while, but the struggles are forever.
