Goldeneye is generally considered to be one of the best games on the N64.

It certainly sold very well in it’s time and one that many people would like to see a remaster of (which it’s as straightforward as one might hope!)

At the Cambridge Computing Museum they’ve obtained some of the original design documents showing the initial planning of the gameplay and various screens from the main menu.

Goldeneye was created by quite a green team at Rare with a youthful ignorance which can so often lead taking bigger leaps than veterans may feel are safe.

For example the multiplayer mode was added very late in the development cycle. It’s hard to imagine such a decision being taken on a triple A title these days.
