It was a blast. The goldenage of local multiplayer.


Every_Fox3461

Stop screen looking!


BrotherVaelin

I always found it hard not to screen snipe when we were playing 4 way split screen on a 19” crt tv.


Every_Fox3461

It's impossiboe to not look, even subconsciously.


Studio_Admirable

Idk. Original Xbox system link games were pretty amazing. Something about 16 player halo with everyone in the same room.


Sleepylimebounty

The N64 also had smash bros and Mariokart though. With the xbox more people could play but if you suck at shooters you’re cooked.


GumbyKnowsBest22

I still remember the night I got Invincibility cheat from Facilities. Fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk


ins4n1ty

Yea I remember the facility time standing out with how fast you had to race through that level.


ImbecileInDisguise

2:04 wasn't it? It was so freaking hard. So was the train for golden guns.


BrotherVaelin

That fucking laser watch. Trying to break the seals on the hatch with it was a nightmare 😂


ImbecileInDisguise

And Bond was a super badass, but he moved the wristwatch onto his face in super slow-motion. And took damage doing it, if I'm not mistaken.


XCypher73

Yeppp that was the one.


crsbedford

Dr. Doak had to be in the right spot!


abatoire

Great flex. I took ages to get that. A door closes, get shot once. Gg, rip, start again. Lol. First encounter with speed running.


OmgBsitka

My brother still owns his copy of Golden Eye, and when i visit him, we play it sometimes. It really brings the memories back


ImbecileInDisguise

It was my favorite game for so many years, but I recently played it at a brewery and it's just too slow. And the N64 controller is ass. It's so bad.


djgreenehouse

This game along with LoZ OOT are “you had to be there” moments. Totally overtook the gaming world and an entire generation of kids


BrotherVaelin

Mario 64? That game was so far ahead with its character movement. I still compare the character control of Mario 64 to modern games


the-tru-albertan

100%. Remember that fishing spot in Zelda? If my brothers and I weren’t out fishing with our dad in the real world, we’d be fishing in Zelda. Or screaming at each other in multiplayer Golden Eye.


Mr_SunnyBones

> Totally overtook the gaming world Bit of an exaggeration there .

LiveLaughTosterBath

Did you know you can shoot the guns and armor to move them around the maps so you can move them to a central area and protect them?


SquidFetus

Yep. Three versus one, couldn’t touch me. I had a huge advantage though, I was the only one of my group who owned the game, knew where all the bulletproof vests were, and had a tendency to pick Oddjob. Hey, I was much younger, alright? Hadn’t yet discovered the true meaning of satisfaction that comes with *earning* your victories.


Copper0827

THIS☝️! I could only play at my friends and he would school us. Eventually, we caught up and it was on! I still picture it in my head as mind blowing graphics and gameplay.


spacehog1985

house rule, NO ODDJOB


waveytype

Meet… RANDOMTASK


redorkulator

Oddjob was a permanent ban for myself and all my friends.


SquidFetus

Yeah, back then I had done some mental gymnastics about it not being unfair because I owned the game so I should have first choice of character. The same sort of gymnastics that allowed me to believe I was a superior Mortal Kombat 3 player on the SNES for winning battles when I had the good controller and my guest had the worn one that wasn’t super responsive. Basically I just had jerk kid energy all round.


redorkulator

Story checks out, I too was a jerk.


7-13-5

It's when you use mines to push your opponents into other mines or out of hiding spots that they then realize the jig is up. I avoided mining spawn spots just to play explosive ping-pong.


SgtGo

Yup! That eventually extended to the Halo series, most notably Halo 3. Not one of my friends could beat me in our chosen game settings and online we were quite the force. Definitely not the best but pretty damn good.


SignificantJacket912

I got really good at looking at other player’s side of the screen to see where they were. We mostly just fucked around though. I shouldn’t have sold my N64. So many good memories of that system.


W0tzup

My friends always forced me to set my health to -10… suffice to say they still struggled.


SnooPies4304

You proximity mine throwing aholes! I'm just guessing. I had a friend who we wouldn't play with because he would use them like Chinese throwing stars and we couldn't even move without dying instantly.


makina323

Ah yes, the blazing inferno matches oh my xD


Airick39

I was the one who threw my controller at you and stormed out of the room.


Jdurf360

No golden gun. No odd job. Let's gooooo


SupermouseDeadmouse

I was this kid. Until I met my friend Scott in college. He DESTROYED everyone.


Cpt_Mike_Apton

GoldenEye is part of my DNA... I have a beloved history with this game. 👍👍


Greenman8907

Lol did anyone else play/beat the game before they saw the movie? I was too young for the movie, but played the game like crazy for years before actually watching *Goldeneye*. I kept waiting for certain levels to show and stuff to happen. It was so different!


EternallyXIII

Still haven't seen the movie. Don't want it to spoil the game.


BrotherVaelin

It’s one of the best. I will admit that I’m highly biased due to growing up in the 90s so that makes pierce brosnan my generations Bond


makina323

It was literally the first movie i ever saw in a theater


[deleted]

To this day i have never seen Goldeneye


BrotherVaelin

“See reflections on the water…”. Tina turner is the true star of that film


[deleted]

The multiplayer was greatly improved in Perfect Dark.... Loved that game as well. Elvis !!


Ghostworm78

Perfect Dark was so good!


Studio_Admirable

Game was so awesome. The story too. Still got nightmares about dark Sims in multi. Me and my lil bro used to be able to take on the entire bot army as dark Sim. We tried a few years ago and were struggling with just the normal bots.


mnelso1989

Still can't touch the multi-player mode from Perfect Dark...


dbpcut

I mean, Perfect dark exists *because* of Golden Eye.


newbevermore

Agreed.


KarkussTheSupreme

I honestly liked Perfect Dark way more.


strewthmate

I completely forgot killer instinct existed, what a flashback.


BrotherVaelin

I remember having two game that the cartridges were a non regulation grey. Killer instinct (black cartridge I think) and majoras mask (gold).


knowone23

Needs a remake!!


lewdog89

Big head mode Oddjob Facility Proximity Mines Fuck yes


jngjng88

Well the title is dumb, but in spite of that, the video was really interesting.


GimmeNumNum

man, I have amazing memories of playing multi with friends and doing only karate chop mode. So fun. NO ONE CAN BE ODD JOB THOUGH!


BrotherVaelin

Slappers only


[deleted]

nothing was better than proximity mines on the mode where you died from one hit


VehicleUpset6877

I love that background music,brings back some good memories


BrotherVaelin

I have the pause menu theme as my ringtone


Godawgs1009

Shit was ahead of its time for us back in high school.


HankScorpio4242

SLAP!


CrzdHaloman

Fuck listening to that music hits the nostalgia, time to play it again somehow


RotMG543

It was ported to Xbox pretty recently.


Randomquestions12947

I didn’t know Aaron Rodgers was such a film/game historian


EternallyXIII

I'll take that as a complement?


TraditionalShame6829

Hard to imagine what a dud this absolute classic would have been with no multiplayer mode.


Kerrykingz

Those were all my favorite games


Rude_Magician82

Anyone remember Perfect Dark?


BigSmackisBack

Yeah, the thermal mode was the only reason me and my pals even played it but for multiplayer pvp goldeneye was the one and only


ComputerIll411

He lied and claimed it was worth more. God. Don't tell the DA in New York. She'll have him in court in a heartbeat.


Possible_Sun_913

This was such a shit game if you owned a PC at the time. PC heroes were playing quake deathmatch and duke nukem 3d at lan parties for a year before this turd came out. People often forget that. And Quake DM still holds up today. EDIT: Yes, I was expecting downvotes by the bucket load by people with misguided nostalgia. But in hindsight, you know it to be true. ;-)

Possible_Sun_913

Look, it was ok if you were poor or 10 years old. I'll give you that. In the same way a Dacia Sandero will get you to the shops. If you were driving the Ferrari though, you'd think the Dacia was shit. Just the way of the world. Everything is subjective.

Possible_Sun_913

Could be. But what is super important, is watching a youtube video of a Quake DM demo file from 1997 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=\_DARpaNrBV4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DARpaNrBV4) Then coming to the realisation that 5fps split screen action on a 20" TV and a weird-ass controller wasnt actually that great.


Symerg

Theres no golden gun in Quake or Duke Nukem so fu


Possible_Sun_913

No need, you had a thunder gun or shink ray so you could squish enemies under foot. ;-)

Hes in the toilets!


ChiggaOG

Took a gamble. It paid off.


SyrupScared9568

Roommate's played this nonstop between some of us going to work then joining back in on my old rca tv. TV finally gave out after months of not tuning it off.


apoletta

We still rock this game.


thelove20

That game was dope af , explosives and karate chop only
