GoldenEye 007 is a game that was released for the Nintendo 64 in 1997. Anyone who played GoldenEye most likely has fond memories of the game, including using the cheat codes and playing multiplayer with friends. The game is loosely based on the James Bond movie of the same name, having similar settings and missions the player can play through.

When it comes to playing older games, players can find themselves wondering if the older title is really as good as they remember. With the way gaming technology has advanced since 1997, it should be no surprise that older games do not uphold every aspect a player looks for in a game.

10 Has: Still Talked About

GoldenEye is still talked about today, something not a lot of Nintendo 64 games can brag about. There is a Half-Life 2 mod called GoldenEye: Source that allows players to battle friends on maps with updated graphics. The mod is still being updated, keeping the spirit of GoldenEye alive.

Also interesting to note is players have modded a Tesla Cybertruck into the game. If there is one thing GoldenEye can definitely brag about, it is the only Nintendo 64 game to contain this vehicle. Despite a gap of 22 years between the products, the Cybertruck looks like it fits nicely into the game.

9 Has Not: Graphics

While it is unfair, it has to be mentioned the graphics in GoldenEye do not hold up to current graphics. The faces, which are modeled after the development team, add to the goofiness of the game. The pixelated bodies on top of realistic looking heads makes for an odd sight.

Despite the odd look, it is still fun to go back and play. Returning to GoldenEye will make players realize that graphics do not make a game, the gameplay does.

8 Has: Rebooted

While it is technically not the GoldenEye of 1997, a reboot is usually a good sign. The game, GoldenEye 007: Reloaded, was released in 2011 with updated graphics. Despite being a reboot, a lot of changes were made to the game.

The reboot was set in a more modern setting than the original game was. It is still worth playing, and fans will have a fun time pointing out the difference between the two games.

7 Has Not: Aim Control

The aiming system in GoldenEye was a little bit clunky. The cursor would automatically aim at enemies, even if it wasn't the one the player wanted to shoot. When it came to aiming yourself, the game definitely does not hold up.

When aiming, the player would not be able to move and they had to drag the cursor slowly to their target. This could get a bit stressful, especially when a room full of enemies was shooting at the player.

6 Has: Multiplayer

Multiplayer is one of the most fun parts of GoldenEye. A plus side of this, the player was able to plug in three more controllers and play with their friends. There was no online multiplayer, making it much more fun to sneak up and karate chop an enemy.

Some of the maps came from the single player, while some came from other Bond films. The characters the player could select also came from the game and other Bond films. Just be careful when picking Oddjob, as the game developers revealed using him was cheating.

5 Has Not: Only On One Console

Despite the popularity of the game, it was only released for the Nintendo 64. Other consoles in 1997 included the Playstation, SNES, and the PC. While not exactly the biggest deal, this means someone would have to buy a Nintendo 64 to play GoldenEye.

It is still impressive to think the game is popular despite being sold on one console. It would seem like this game will Die Another Day.

4 Has: Levels Are Simple

Compared to modern games, the levels in GoldenEye were pretty straightforward. Most missions requires the player to get to a certain location and unlock a door or kill every enemy in an area to complete the mission. A few still, such as the Train or Dam levels, requires the players to walk in one direction to reach the end of the level.

When thinking of modern games, tasks require the player to search for a specific enemy and loot something off their body. While fun, it is also fun to shoot at enemies and easily complete the level.

3 Has Not: Vehicle Controls

While it was a tank the player had to control, the vehicles in GoldenEye were a bit difficult to control. Players would fire their weapons from an open hatch, having to go into their watch and select the tank's cannon if they wished to use it. If the player wanted to turn, they would have to slowly turn, meanwhile being shot at.

The streets of St. Petersburg did not make a good location to drive a tank, especially in a game with clunky controls. To be fair, Bond did cause some damage while driving the tank in the movie.

2 Has: Cheats

The cheats in GoldenEye were some of the best in a video game. Players could choose practical cheats, such as invincibility and infinite ammo. Other cheats added a bit of fun, such as a paintball mode and making Bond tiny.

GoldenEye made it so players could select as many cheats as they wanted before selecting a mission. This made it easier to turn them on and off, not needing to put in a code each time they wanted to activate or deactivate a cheat.

1 Has Not: Glitches

Fairly enough, every game is prone to glitch. The thing that separates modern games and GoldenEye is autosave. If Alec became glitched at the end of the Facility level and did not move, the player would have to restart entirely.

Having the game cartridge sticking out a tiny bit will cause the game to glitch, making it hard to play. After playing and experiencing glitches at the end of levels is one fear on everyone's mind - thank goodness for autosave.
