25 Years of Goldeneye Dev Talk

I spent many hours playing Goldeneye with my housemates back in the day. For the first time we had an amazing first person multiplayer shooter console experience, it was way ahead of everything else. Friendships were lost, arguments were settled and lectures were occasionally missed. The game was incredible and became synonymous with that part of my life.

I was very excited to attend an evening at The Centre for Computing History in Cambridge celebrating 25 years of the classic N64 game. A talk was given by some of the original development team, Martin Hollis, Dr. David Doak and Brett Jones. 

It was a fascinating insight into the game’s development with loads of interesting snippets. I was intrigued to hear Virtua Cop was a strong influence and that one of the original concept ideas for the game was an on rails shooter.

I took some games along from my collection and was really pleased to get them signed. A massive thanks to The Centre for Computing History for hosting such an amazing event. It’s time to dust off that N64 controller again and play some Goldeneye.

Road Trip to Revival Games & Pick Ups

In this video we take a trip down to Revival Games, a relatively new shop in Plymouth dedicated to classic games, toys and collectibles. This was my first visit. The shop has excellent stock, and I managed to grab some awesome items. These include a game from one of my favourite franchises, which has been on my radar for a long time.
