A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

I grew up with goldeneye and perfect dark.

I decided to play the recompiled version of this game on my steam deck.

First of all, this game had some really big environments for n64. It’s surprising how much they fit in these old games.

Secondly, after you finish the main game, there are two bonus missions where you play as another character to see their side of the story.

Modern day these are called “dlc”.

The shooting range portion of the game is either too easy or impossibly difficult. I’ll try with mouse to kind of cheese it.

My understanding is that when you complete the shooting range and combat simulator there is another unlockable mission.

Now that I am typing this I wonder if there is another unlockable level for completing on the hardest difficulty like golden eye.

Anyway, if you have or have not played this game, it’s totally worth playing the recompiled version of the game.

Works on Linux and Windows perfectly.

If you run it on the steamdeck, you can just download the Linux version, add it to Steam, then manually tell it to run with proton. I didn’t know this was possible until yesterday, but it will not run on steamdeck without proton due to missing dependencies that are included with proton.

Have fun.

Theres 4 bonus missions

Mr Blondes Revenger for finishing on Agent.

Maian SOS for finishing on Special Agent.

WAR! for finishing on Perfect Agent.

Duel for getting at least a bronze on all weapons in firing range.

New difficulty setting called Perfect Dark unlocked by beating all levels on Perfect Agent.

You can cheese some of the firing range by selecting the laptop gun on bronze, turn to the wall behind you (or where ever you want it) and throw it, when it folds up and disappears out of sight but before its thrown pause the game, cancel out of laptop gun, and choose the one your having issues with. Once it starts the laptop gun should then finish throwing and help out.

Loved playing through the game again but on PC

Edit: fixed difficulty name

Perfect Darkness is the cheat that turns the lights off, I think the difficulty is called Perfect Dark.

Looking at the screen now and that is correct

I forgot about that. I’m sure that’s how I completed it as a kid.
