GoldenEye 007, the classic N64 shooter from 1997, now has an unofficial remake with modern graphics. The developers used Valve’s Source engine to recreate the multiplayer aspect of the game. Hey, it’s Friday, let’s have a little fun.
- It’s called GoldenEye: Source. The multiplayer mode was largely the source of the game’s popularity and set a precedent for how first person shooters on consoles can work. It’s been in the works for a while—this is version 5.0—and is available for free on their site. [GoldenEye: Source via The Verge]
