>> It's pretty indicative of the age group here on HN. For reference, I'm 23.

I'm not sure exactly what it says, but I'm a decade older than you, and I lost countless days to this game. The best opponent I had was four years older than me!

I don't quite understand the love for the four player multi though. It seemed unplayably choppy to me with with that many opponents, but I never did get that expansion pack that sticks in the front. Also didn't care for the limited view range. But heads up multi-player... fantastic.

I'm another decade older and I lost countless lives playing this game ... My (then) 9th grade son, his friend and his friend's little sister consistently ended each life just seconds after it began!
Did the Expansion Pak [0] even work for games that didn't support it? From memory the game had to specifically support it or it didn't get used.

I remember Perfect Dark (the spiritual successor to Goldeneye) required it to run most of the game.
