Perfect Dark

[Sacred Jellybean]

I'm sure you're not even one of the ones that taste like a bug or a slug.

I taste like a senile old man. Isn't my avatar a dead giveaway?

I played through a few levels of (N64) Perfect Dark, and yeah, it's still pretty fun. I'm on the level after Chicago (I don't remember the name, but you know the one - it introduces the cloaking device). I don't actually mind not having the checkpoints anymore. I think TS2 was such a chore to play that it felt disappointing to have to start too far back from where I died. I didn't notice that TS2's first level is a nod to the Dam in OG Goldeneye. Clever. It's easy to see the residuals of Goldeneye (not just the level design) from the vestiges of the original team. Damn shame I just can't get into it, it should be an awesome.

Perfect Dark, OTOH, is fun to play, and the levels are pretty short, so I don't mind starting from scratch. It still feels odd that back then, you couldn't just save anywhere or switch off the game / resume at exactly the same point.
