If you played video games in 1997, chances are you spent a great deal of time killing your friends in GoldenEye 007 for the Nintendo 64. Yes, before Halo, before Left4Dead—there was Bond, James Bond. Take a moment to remember what made GoldenEye so exceptional, and why we loved it.

Here are some facts about the beloved game that put you in Bond's shoes as he murdered his way across twenty levels of nonstop face shooting action:

1. Widely considerd one of the greatest games of all time (right up there with Zelda for the N64)

2. Has sold over eight million copies.

3. One of the first games to include a groin-shot death animation. (I mean really, can we ask for more in a game?)

4. Contained one of the most frustrating protections missions ever. (We’re looking at you “Control.”)

5. Allows you to use the worst video game weapon of all time, the Klobb.

Read on for a nostalgic trip down fps memory lane, gamers.

Lots more fun to keep you entertained.
