Rare's GoldenEye 007 reached North America on August 25, 1997, nearly two years after the film, on a 96-megabit cartridge. An inexperienced team led by Martin Hollis spent two and a half years on it, and it proved first-person shooters could work on a home console, with four-player split-screen deathmatch as the hook. It sold more than eight million copies, the third-best-selling N64 game, so loose carts are easy to find. Every cart also holds a ZX Spectrum emulator with ten Rare games, switched off before release and since restored by fan patches. It later joined Nintendo's Player's Choice line, and in January 2023 it came back on Switch and Xbox. Saves go to a chip on the cart, with no battery to die.
Before you plug it in
Should come with it
Check the listing photos against this list, and ask the seller about anything you can’t see. A missing piece should come off the price.
Carts that won't start are usually dirty on the contacts. On complete copies, the cardboard box and the manual are what wear.

Buying guide
We'd buy the loose cart titled tested at $34 delivered from a 100% seller, with a clean label in the photo, or a complete-in-box Player's Choice copy from $74 if you want the box and manual. There are at least 147 for sale. Loose carts ask about $30 to $55 delivered, which is what the $35 to $60 band reflects, and complete copies mostly ask $74 to $126. A yellow background behind the N64 logo marks the Player's Choice box, the same game reissued. Zoom in on the label for stains or peeling and check the two screws on the back for Nintendo's security heads; it saves to a chip in the cart, so there's no battery to replace.
