Perhaps they will wonder why we considered it so special, so groundbreaking.
It is lovely now, to see the game getting a release on Nintendo Switch and Xbox Game Pass, but it is hard to imagine how modern players will react to what is now an artefact. I think the sign of a truly great game – like any work of art – is how many legends become attached to its making.
The fact that Nintendo legend and Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto was so concerned by the death in the game that he suggested a post-credit sequence where James Bond went to a hospital to meet all the enemy soldiers he “injured”. The fact that it is officially cheating to play as Oddjob in multiplayer mode the brilliance of the pause music, which has been heavily memed on TikTok, and how it was written in just 20 minutes by Rare newcomer Grant Kirkhope. It is interesting how fables around the game and its development have survived – and still intrigue.
