Part of that is because it wasn’t a throwaway movie tie-in game. The E.T. Atari game was appalling shit that came out the same year as the movie after a full 5 weeks of development and was definitely a throwaway tie-in. Goldeneye came out two years after the movie because the team thought it was the raddest shit ever and wanted to make it a good game. By the time the game came out, the movie was already long gone from theaters and had been out on VHS for almost a year.

It’s wild in retrospect how influential a throwaway movie tie in video game ended up being.

And how crazily good this is, even by today’s standards, compared to the others from that era!
They really did change everything all without really meaning to :)
