'Golden Eye: Source' is an accurate remake of the classic N64 game 'Golden Eye 007.' But rather than simply redoing the 64-bit version, the new fan-made game takes advantage of modern technology, presenting the same guns, maps and gameplay as the original but in slick HD.
The game was built by a team of Golden Eye fans over the course of 10 years. In the spirit of sharing the beloved game of the past, Golden Eye: Source is being released for free. While it won't be playable on the original N64 console, the game can be played on any computer.
The new version will feature everything that made the old game great, including 25 maps, 10 different playable modes and spiffed-up versions of the original 28 weapons.
