!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.
Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.
Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

You'd rather use the four C Buttons to aim? Controllers don't exactly have a lot of options. Sure, the most accurate option is "trackball," but those were only on high end arcade cabinets and PCs at the time. Couldn't get any of them for under $300 USD. And lightguns woyld have needed more inputs on them than they had at the time, not to mention the N64 never had a lightgun peripheral for it to my knowledge.

Good news, Quake 2 released that very same year.
Too bad the N64 mouse only launched with the 64DD in Japan then. Either way, GoldenEye could never be played with a mouse back then. It only took someone creating a special build of an emulator to get it to support it only within the last like 5 years.
THERES A MOD NOW?!
Yeah, GoldenEye (and Perfect Dark) with mouse injection has been around for a while. Same with TimeSplitters and Metroid Prime. Only for emulators on PC though.
