Goldeneye: Those sweet childhood memories.

Bond. James Bond.

The man. The legend. The game.

You all know about it. You've all played it too, unless you're some poor sap.

But for those who have played it, and played it, and played it, I thought it would be nice if we could all sit back and reminisce about all those sweet Goldeneye memories. Who can forget the joy of shooting someone on a toilet? Or spreading your love in the form of small green proximity mines.

My friends and I used to play that game all the time. One of my friends was unbeatable at it( you know how that is.) I could beat pretty much anyone but him.

And so we would play, all types of bloodfests. Rocket launchers, proximity mines, fighting knives. We did it all.

So, does anyone care to share some of their fond Goldeneye memories?

 

I loved that game. Facility, Bunker 1, and Bunker 2 were easily my favourite levels.

 

Eh, I never cared for the bunker levels. Especially in Multiplayer. Then that level annoyed me to death.

The facility, however, is a great level, in all ways. Nothing beats setting proximity mines on every regenrating spot, and then watching the chain reaction that occurs.

 

She's so high

I loved goldeneye and god damn i kicked ass at it, I was the bane of anyones existance in that game.

I used the weird style controls though and that was the key to my kickassness.

 

For pure Facility fun, nothing beats sitting at the far end of the long corridor with a sniper rifle and taking out anyone who gets in your scope.

 

the bunker was the best for mines.........and childhood game?! what type of parent lets a kid play such a violent game?!

 

I still play goldeneye, even taught my little sister to play it, who then became good enough to thrash my friends lol
(her hand is so small, she holds the little stick like a normal joystick )
I don't really have a fave level, but the ones where the enemy respawns are good, so you can kill them again and again...*manic laughter*

Perfect Dark just wasn't as good...

 

Great game. Where's my 64?

 

I'm with Jedi Bib haha. I think I might have to get another n64 to play some of those classic games. Goldeneye of course.....and we can't forget Smash Brothers lol. Funny how n64 came out busting with some good games, but really fell way back just every it came out.

 

My friend still has his hooked up. I was showing off my masta-fiend Rouge Squadron skillz the other night.

 

Yeah bunker was great with proximity mines. I would set them up in waves of three. First wave was an outer perimiter of mines which covered all main hallways and rooms. Then another line of mines covering the same hallways but closer to the main proximity mine spawn point and then another wave closer. I always thought of it like weaving a web of mines with me in the miiddle counting the death toll. I always set my mines in such a way that I could get past them if I needed to. This way I could replant the mines on my outer perimiter when a unsuspecting victim set them off.

Bunker was also great for running gun fights. Me and my buddies used to love just running around with handguns. My favorite kill was in bunker. It was in that huge room where the main spawn point is, not the one with the monitors but the big storage area with the two doors on opposite ends. I was using the Magnum at one end of the room and my friend was on the other side of the door on the other end, which is a pretty far distance. He was talking smack on how he was going to kill me. Now from my vantage all I could see was his head peering out of the little window of the steel door, so I took aim with the magnum and capped him in the head through the little window. And much trash talking ensued at that point. The snow part outside was great fun aswell. Hehe, same game I had the magnum and was chasing down my friend outside, who had just spawned. Not really trying to kill him, just playing with him. The whole time yelling "dance, dance mofo, dance!" all while shooting the snow at his feet while he ran like a little sissy.

Hehe. I love using the Magnum on the poor unsuspecting newbies who have no idea it can shoot through doors.

Oh, and one thing my friends and I did was make a rule: No one is allowed to play as oddjob. We made that rule because oddjob is so dang short and annoying. Did anyone else enact a similar rule?

 

Yup. We also had the 'no Odd Job' rule for that same reason.

 

2ndQuest, we had that rule also. It was annoying teaching newbies who didn't play how that rule worked, but retribution was exacted once I had an RC-P90 in my hand.

 

We too had a no-oddjob rule and a no-unarmed rule.

What character did everyone use? I was always Orumov (sp).

My favourite kill was when I was playing in the Bunker against my sister. She spawned in the cell, and I had her convinced that the door was locked, so she didn't try to escape. I grabbed a Magnum, and stood outside the cell. I demanded her to stand against the large blood stain on the wall. She said "Just do it already!" and crouched down, putting her head down. Bang.

 

Goldeneye is definitely my favorite console FPS of all-time. I was usually the Siberian trooper, just because I liked the white uniform. Facility is probably the most fun unbalanced map of all time. //still hasn't lost a fair deathmatch, ever.

 

I always loved the Siberian Trooper as well. The only other skin I would use was Baron Samedi. We didn't really have a Oddjob rule though. Partly because my friends needed somekind of edge. Man did they suck. I used to love when people would move while crouching, Oddjob espicially. Because there was no animation for crouching so you would just see people sliding arounding on their knees. Looked like the Gumby and Pokey show.

I too used the siberian trooper. He just blends in so well. Especially in the grey facility.

How many people have figured out the trick to reentering the ventilation shaft?

 

I always used Jerry Seinfeld (aka Janus special forces) in multi.

My favourite setting was Complex Grenade launchers, so many little nooks and cramped corridors to bounce grenades off.

 

I loved that game, but it used to really annoy me whenever someone wanted to play 'golden gun' mode - one shot kill. As bad as the AWP in Counterstrike...

 

We had a no odd-job and no shooting unarmed man rule as well. Lots of dorm room fun back in college. That and mario kart were our staples for multiplayer and it was a blast. Although since we were the only ones on the floor with an N64 we never got a moment to ourselves.

 

My all-time favorite scenario is Proximity Mines in the Complex. I would always hide in the "base" that's above the blue corridor and cross from the yellow hall. From there, I could plant mines at the sole entrance to the base to protect myself from intrusion, and there are 2 windows from which I can throw mines. Then, I just sit back and let the poor unsuspecting folks walk into my mines.

My all-time favorite game was when we were playing License to Kill in the Archives, using Power Weapons. I went that entire game with just a Shotgun, and I didn't die at all, even though most of my opponents had found an RC-P90 by the time we fought. I often just hung out near the end of a corridor and used the Shotgun's wide ammo spread to get anyone that came down that corridor.

My favorite kill in that scenario was when I was in one of those corridors, and my two other opponents came down the cross corridor trying to shoot each other. Being the opportunist that I am, I shot the guy who was retreating from the other guy, then as he came to steal all the weapons the dead guy had, I shot him too. I was laughing maniacally at that time.
