It’s amazing what happens when management leave Devs alone to do actual work instead of calling SCRUM bullshit.
Goldeneye64 : 1997 JIRA : 2002
Or anyone creative
Reminds me of the graphing calculator on Macs. Guy wanted it in system 7 so bad he ignored getting fired, broke into the office, and snuck it into the master build.

For anyone wanting a read.
“Broke in” is a bit of an exaggeration. Their cards simply weren’t turned off and they managed to fake it until the project was finished.
If you read the whole thing you’ll learn that for some time their cards were in fact deactivated and they had to sneak in behind other people.
It’s been decades since the last time I read it in full.
It’s funny seeing interviews with the devs and they basically go “We had no idea what we were doing with the N64. How did this succeed?”
Then you find out about stuff like the fully functional ZX Spectrum Emulator in the game and begin wondering too.
That puts the fact that Jet Pac was in DK64 into a different perspective.
Pulling Mountain Dew and dorito fueled all nighters with my friends playing this game are such core memories.
The ultimate pain: License to kill. Slappers only. Oddjob.
Somewhere among the top 1…
Slappers only!
My play was to always throw a ton of mines everywhere and just listen to the boom.
I would do this in Far Cry before raiding a base. Plant a few mines around the approaches to the base in case the alarm got tripped. Always fun to hear the “We’re coming in from the north!” BOOM
i wonder if they got into trouble for doing things without being ordered to
Until the sales numbers came in
As an avid aq2 player this multiplayer mode was a literal joke when this game came out. I was like why is everything so damn slow???
Innovative? Lmfao.
AQ2 came out the year after Goldeneye
Seriously. That other multiplayer first person shooter on the console was MUCH better. I can’t remember the name though… Any idea what it was?
Perfect Dark. Also came out after. Goldeneye was revolutionary, everybody played it. Any house I went to, we played Goldeneye.
Perfect Dark wa great, but Goldeneye seemingly scratched the itch for FPS amongst casual gamers at the time, and so it was never as popular.
I don’t know what it is but if it’s a multiplayer PFS then I bet it came out after Goldeneye
This guy gets it :-)
