'GoldenEye 007' Fans Create Full Game Mod Based On 'The Spy Who Loved Me'
A mod is in the works for the Nintendo 64 classic GoldenEye 007 that turns another James Bond movie into a full game. Fans are building a playable version of The Spy Who Loved Me, Roger Moore's third, and some would say best, Bond film.
As spotted by EuroGamer, YouTuber Graslu00 posted a playthrough video showing 11 levels of The Spy Who Loved Me 64. The mod depicts key events and locations from the film, taking Bond from the Alps to the pyramids of Egypt and a supertanker in the Atlantic Ocean. It includes Moore's likeness, as well as characters such as Anya Amasova (aka Agent XXX) and villainous Karl Stromberg. It is possible to run the mod on an emulator in 4K at 60fps, but you can also play it on an N64 console.
It's a work in progress, as Graslu00 notes. The version of The Spy Who Loved Me 64 that is available on N64 Vault is a demo of the first three levels with a preview of a planned four-player multiplayer mode. It seems, however, that fans working on the game still have a long way to go. The scene selection screen displays 20 levels, including, oddly enough, Bond's childhood home, Skyfall, which appears to be one of the multiplayer maps.
In the meantime, an official James Bond title is in the works. It emerged in late 2020 that Hitman studio IO Interactive is developing a game that delves into the origins of the super spy. This is expected to be the first official Bond game since 007 Legends in 2012.
