Video Game Trivia
That huge, industry-defining moment that almost didn’t happen
As is so often the case in video games, last-minute additions can define a legacy.
For Goldeneye 007 for N64, the dev team (without the approval of developer Rare’s studio directors) created the multiplayer component in the last few weeks of development. This massively popular feature was literally an afterthought.
The game went on to help define and establish the first-person shooter genre on consoles, signaling a transition from Doom-like games to more realistic ones.
