"Call Me Jaded" |
(incidentally, Ken Griffey Junior was also on the cover of NP #84 and NP#59)
Less than a year after the release of our beloved GoldenEye 007...
NP magazine was as campy as 1960s Batman (or even Batman & Robin starring George Clooney).
Their monthly feature "Classified Information" was no exception.
Newly discovered tips & tricks for "older" games tended to take a backseat to "newer" stuff.
By now the "64 Characters Code" is widespread knowledge - (does anyone even play GoldenEye via game cartridge anymore?)
In the summer of 1998, GoldenEye was still one of the hottest games.
Rumors were infiltrating the internet at a time when codes and secrets still spread by word of mouth...
Or occasionally appearing in print - In a very "rare" example like this:
In addition to all the guards you get from completing the Cradle mission, it's basically just a bunch of guys in Bond suits.
"Aaahh! It's Rosika, the killer cleaning lady! Run! Run like the wind"
Other ten-step button codes would be discovered (and abused) years later.
Also from that NP issue:
