Goldeneye is on XBox now :-)
I've never played Goldeneye, but I've always heard it was a popular N64 game.

It is - and one of the original FPS - first one with multiplayer I
THINK - but not sure...
If you consider all platforms (not just N64 or console), Doom (1993)
had multi-player support. Heretic (1994, for PC) also had
multi-player, from what I remember.

Yeah, I was going to reply to this but then I figured I'd wait and
see if someone else already had. Goldeneye *might* be the first
multiplayer on console, but it's definitely not the first
multi-player FPS. Depending on how far you want to stretch the
definition of FPS, that *might* be Midi Maze on the Atari ST, which
dates back to the late 80s.
The box cover said it perfectly "Put on a happy face" but the "put
on" was crossed out and had "Kill" written in. The players avatars
were round happy faces in the game, to put that in perspective.
Great stuff, good times. Huge Atari ST fan here - still have a
handful and run The DarkForce! BBS on an Atari Mega ST4. :)

I think everyone knows about our AtariNess by now. :) But we have to
keep spreading the word, right? Actually from what I remember, I
think the 8-bit version of MIDI Maze is actually compatible? I'm
guessing the FujiNet setup for it wouldn't work (since it isn't a
physical MIDI) but if you have actual MIDI hardware for the 8-bit I'm pretty sure you can have the STers and 8-bitters together.
So the final showdown at last!
Well, here's what a quick google search revealed:

Ok, so it does work.
I wonder if that Con of the North is still a thing? We have offices
in Minnesota, so maybe I can figure out a way to expense it. :)
Not a clue but I'm getting a mental image of us barging in, packing
about a dozen SC1224 monitors 'n ST's. Yeah! When they ask for an explanation (as we're stringing MIDI cables), we just tell them to
think early (real early!) token ring... :)

Uh, guys... this is a snowshoe salesmen convention......
