I used to be good at computer games, but they changed what "good at computer games" was, now what I am is "below average at computer games", and "good at computer games" is challenging and unattainable to me. It'll happen to you!
Is there a way to access (the equivalent of) that price legitimately if you are in the UK?

I was about to buy it, but on the UK store it's £34.49 GBP (42% off), which is not bad, but also not nearly as good a deal as that, so I reckon I'll wait.

I remember finding a zombie clad in swat gear in LFD2 who was impervious to head damage, so I spent a long while testing the durability of a frying pan on him

I've judged a book by it's cover here and assmued that minecraft is of the same caliber as the emoji movie, and pixels, which are simply on my "do not watch" list. I may be missing out on some treasures by being so judgemental, but life is finite and our minutes are precious

I found the first Transformers film to be unbearable. I soldiered on to the end to ensure that there was in fact no redeeming aspect so I wouldn't trick myself into thinking "it couldn't have been that bad" and trying again.

That's like saying "but I also think Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring was a good movie."
Airplane 2 was fantastic.

That's a tragedy, look how they massacred my boy.
When I finally managed to do that level as a youth (who could barely contain his rage after so many attempts), I defeated 006 but then fell off the platform a moment later. The level ended before I died so it still counted as a win. You can do it!

PS2: I used to be not-retro, but then they changed what not-retro was. Now what I am is retro, and what is not-retro is weird and scary to me.

It's been a joy to come back to GE after all these years, of course there's been emulation options, but having it legitimately with modern controller support is a real treasure. I like how it just kinda became available one day through the rare replay package after being in legal limbo forever

Once you've done cradle and the extra moonrakery bits you gotta tackle pefect dark, I dont think I ever made it through to the end on hard mode. On my current attempt I am trying to escape area 51, looking forward to the sneak onto a plane level (cos crossbows)

Bunker 2 on 00 agent was actually one of my all time faves, I used to play it all the time as it was one of the most James-Bondiest levels. It was great that you just start off in a cell with a magnet watch and then have to wipe out the whole base, I'm probably not the shit-hot spy I once was tho

Silo on 00 agent is where I'm up to on my most recent replay, I almost did it but missed an item I needed (I don't have quite as much patience now as when I was a teenager). Bits that were painful and I am not looking forward to are Control and Cradle, only just managed to complete it before

You're making me wanna get back to playing this.
I remember the time before achievements/trophies we had the challenges the Goldeneye threw at us, Facility required a pretty challenging speedrun that relied on a bit of luck also, the reward was one of the better unlocks in the cheat menu.

It's like Ladyhawke, one was a night person and the other a day person, but instead of looking after each other in animal form, they'd just watch the other have a snooze.

I was so hyped for this, I loved it and still do. Honourable mentions for the memories are; Mario 64, Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, Mario Kart 64, Diddy Kong Racing, Zelda OOT, The New Tetris, Waverace, Top Gear Rally, Shadows of the Empire, Starfox, Body Harvest
