“yeah just put it back in my room when youre done”
amazing words vai heard on christmas day 1998 when i asked my dad if the nintendo 64 set up in his room was for me. i ran downstairs and set it up and plugged in goldeneye – the greatest shooting game since world war 2 or a ched session on the numbers.
I quikly deleted my dads, mums and dads friends save games (theyd made it look like theyd bought the n64 for themselves to put young vai off the xmas scent – a nice conspiracy, but one none the less. lizards!!!) and before i knew it was banging my way through the game.
great memories. i remember spending hours on multiplayer games and always being surprised when i walked into the proximity mines id set up with the other controller. best. multiplayer. ever.
apparently theyre making a new goldeneye on the wii but wii is for kids man!!! they should put it on pc where all the best games are like solitaire and mindsweeper (haha just a joke). i don’t know what the new goldeneye on wii will look like but i reckon it’ll be like this…
back to the original and it had all the great characters in it like bobjob and jaws and piers morgan and it was probably the best n64 game ever made. even though its on wii and only children and japanese people play on them i am still looking forward to the sequel.
overall i rate goldeneye an f scott fitzgerald (9 out of 10):
“He smiled understandingly-much more than understandingly. It was one of those rare smiles with a quality of eternal reassurance in it, that you may come across four or five times in life. It faced–or seemed to face–the whole external world for an instant, and then concentrated on you with an irresistible prejudice in your favor. It understood you just as far as you wanted to be understood, believed in you as you would like to believe in yourself.” – The Great Gatsby
