Mentioned this in chat, but I
did end up getting all the achievements in
GoldenEye 007! I'm proud of this one, as it requires you to 100% the game, which involves doing a lot of tough speed runs. For some of the really difficult ones, I'll admit to using YouTube guides for inspiration on how to do optimize the runs, but for others, I enjoyed devising my own. And regardless, even after watching someone else do it, you still have to execute that same plan yourself, so that's something!
I'll obviously write more about
GoldenEye later on my blog, but suffice it to say I think it has held up really well despite the common consensus that it hasn't. Obviously the better and more stable frame rate of the Xbox version combined with dual-analog controls doesn't hurt, but that still tells me the underlying game is solid. I think I only ever played the multiplayer in this game a single time as a kid (and briefly at that), so I don't have any nostalgia for it really.
It's a shame we didn't get the 360 remake instead of this ROM dump emulation product, but I still enjoyed finally playing through this for the first time and getting 1000G for my efforts. Plus, I'm probably gonna look into how to play the leaked 360 version anyway.
