This was my favourite game on the now defunct Nintendo 64 and it was also the first game that I bought to play on with that console. The game pretty much follows the sequences in the film with Bond trying to establish who is behind the plot to activate a secret weapons programme of the Russians for their own purposes and sees him battling with elements of the Russian underworld.

The first thing you notice with Goldeneye is the realism, the most impressive aspect of which is the guards. Shoot a bad guy and the arm and he will stagger back, shoot him in the leg and he limp back with the force, shoot him in the body to wound him and one shot to the head will kill him.
