Comment on What's next after Half-Life?

Golden eye 007 for the N64 was pretty revolutionary. As was perfect dark and perfect dark 0, if you don’t mind going back to half-life 1 times those are worth a playthrough.
Perfect dark was my JAM back in the day.
I still have my original cartridge, but unfortunately my n64 is either in a box in someone’s basement, or a landfill, as the friend I let borrow it (and my star wars games) left it at a friend’s house and the friend moved states.
PD was the first video game my sister and I played together. We never managed to finish it when we were young.
I relatively recently tried to replay Goldeneye. It was shocking—controller and FPS mechanics have evolved so much since then it was honestly not fun to play. While it was breakthrough tech at the time it just did not age well.
So many hours of fun into that game though; I’ll never not hold a special place in my heart for it even if it’s unplayable nostalgia now.
FPS keyboard+mouse shooters of that era have aged much better. I can still play Marathon (+2 + Infinity) (Bungie’s precursors to Halo) and have an enjoyable gaming session.

PD was the first fps game I remember that had bots so that you could play by yourself.
