Came across a retrospective/overview on GoldenEye for the Nintendo 64. Bit of a retrospective that covers a bit on how it came to be made by a rookie team, then the reception and the legal licensing weirdness that stopped anyone being able to touch it for such a long time

Oddjob is 100% cheating. Always was for my friends group!
