Goldeneye Monologue

When I was a young boy, I wanted to be like James Bond. Now that may sound a little crazy, but I couldn 't have been the only young boy with aspirations to one day become a top secret agent.

Unfortunately, back in 1997, I didn 't know a licence to kill was just a novelist invention, or that my chances of being needed for MI6 field operations were slim to none. Nevertheless, all hope wasn 't lost, as I could at least pretend I was a spy thanks to GoldenEye oo7 on the N64, courtesy of developer Rare, and publisher Nintendo.

It wasn 't long after I popped the cartridge into my N64 for the first time, and flicked the power on that I realised just how special GoldenEye was. After I had ruthlessly finished off a guard with my AK 47, and as the blood soaked through each layer of his uniform, I instantly felt a certain boyish glee overcome me.

I 'd never experienced a game as realistic as GoldenEye before. The graphics were outstanding, as was the soundtrack, both of which were complemented by sleekly produced sound effects. It was exciting, and it was as close to being a secret agent as I could ever become.

My friends and I played for hours. There were numerous weapons to choose from, but we all wanted to get our hands on the elusive Golden Gun; a powerful weapon that killed with one pull of its trigger.

GoldenEye 007 ranks at number three in the all-time 'best-selling ' category for the N64, (behind Super Mario 64 and Mario Kart 64), making its place in video gaming history is firmly secured. Granted, it 's not much to look at now, but in 1997, this was a

    The video game boom caused by Space Invaders saw a huge number of new companies and consoles pop up, resulting in a period of market saturation. Too many gaming consoles, and too few interesting, engaging new games to play on them, eventually led to the 1983 North American video games crash, which saw huge losses, and truckloads of unpopular, poor-quality titles buried in the desert just to get rid of them. The gaming industry was in need of a change. At more or less the same time that consoles started getting bad press, home computers like the Commodore Vic-20, the Commodore 64 and the Apple II started to grow in popularity.
