Like I mentioned before, my first console was an N64. When you think about N64, you think about Goldeneye. In 1996 the famous developer that brought you the Donkey Kong Country series decided to try their hand at a genre of game that was pretty much reserved for the PC; I'm speaking of course about the most widely known FPS Goldeneye 007.
Besides it being ridiculously addictive it remained on many gamers top ten lists. The game had 20 levels taken straight out of Hollywood. From Runway to Aztec, Oddjob to Jaws, and anything else in between. The story of the game is pretty much this: It's Bond's job to stop a Satellite (known as Goldeneye) from firing a concentrated electromagnetic beam to Earth's surface, and disrupting any electric system on the surface (including military). Besides that, the real gem is in the muliplayer mode. This is where me and my brothers would spend hours just playing deathmatch after deathmatch.
I personally liked "The Man With the Golden Gun" gameplay mode in which there is only one golden gun in the whole level. Whoever finds it is in god mode. It being the best FPS ever was shown when it won multiple 5 star and 10 out of 10 scores from various websites and gaming magazines. It also went on to win the BAFTA (British Academy of Film and Television Arts) interactive entertainment award, and was on many top games of all time lists.
Following the success of Goldeneye, Rare went on to create Perfect Dark, another extremely popular FPS for 64. That's another blog. All in all this games gets 9 obese children out of 10.
