Happy 20th Anniversary Perfect Dark! The Nintendo 64 game developed by Rare was released 20 years ago today on May 22, 2000. What memories do you have of the classic game?

I remember getting hyped to play it and then never getting past the first mission. I was young and it was probably my first ever fps. 20th anniversary is a good reason to revisit it though! I've also heard rumors that they're working on another, but take that with a grain of salt.

EDIT: Here's where I read about it:

Perfect Dark is a great game! although I never really tried to complete the single player campaign, I love the bot mode the best. Where I can hone my skills in deathmatch mode without needing another human player to play with. like you need in order to play multiplayer in 007 Goldeneye

I got sick of 007 Goldeneye so I no longer have that game in my collection.  I got "Perfect Dark" a while ago.

But many need to know that Perfect Dark, requires the red colored 8mb expansion chip. In order to play the campaign but your allowed from my knowledge to play the bots "in the combat simulator section" even without the 8mb upgrade RAM computer chip


(for those who don't have the red upgrade it's easy to install and well worth obtaining it in my opinion)

This computer chip is vary easy to install and the best part you don't need to take your Nintendo 64 apart to install it, just need to open the expansion bay slot on the exterior of the console, than pop the black colored chip out and gently  insert the new red colored computer chip.

 I think you can use a butter/table knife to do this but I never done it myself since I purchased the N64 with the Expansion 8mb chip already in mine.




pricey on Amazon now but you can also buy a Nintendo 64 with one already installed

I rented Perfect Dark from a Blockbuster down the street from me during that time, and remember getting it home and only have part of the game available. I wondered what the hell was going on and realized you needed the expansion pack to play the whole game. I remember returning it to Blockbuster and getting another game instead for this reason, but I still really, really wanted to play it. I ended up getting an expansion pack shortly after and for a while playing the hell out of Perfect Dark. In fact, I probably put more time into Perfect Dark than I did Goldeneye which is saying a lot.

Great game.  I probably played Goldeneye a lot more, at least multiplayer wise, but Perfect Dark had a lot of great stuff going on.
