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.

Ive been trying to figure out where to get it for a long while. I loved Perfect Dark, but damn did it run so badly on the N64.

You're also going to need a ROM, which shouldn't be too hard to find on the high seas
