"All
Bonds" One
of my favorite captures from Detstar's Goldeneye 007 Screenshot Gallery. Photographs
of the former James Bond actors in Multiplayer (using a text editor to add the
name of each actor).
The existence of these photos in the game's memory
led to speculation that it was possible to play the game as the former actors
who had played James Bond... Rareware commented that the Goldeneye team had hoped
to include them, but weren't able to for various reasons.
|
 Promotional
materials, and even the game's instruction manual showed evidence of at least
two additional Bonds other than Pierce Brosnan... |
 In
this old Wal-Mart promo video, It appears as if the four photographs were used
on the "Select File" screen at one time, with each folder featuring
a different Bond.
Apparently the Bonds were removed due to a licensing
issue, as Rareware did not have the rights to feature the non-Brosnan actors who
portrayed James Bond. Gotta remember at the time of development, GoldenEye 007
wasn't even expected to be a hit... |
 Originally,
it was believed that a 24th cheat called "All Bonds" could be earned...
This theory was disproved when the long lost "Line Mode" (pen and ink)
cheat was discovered. The so called "All Bonds" cheat never even existed,
simply a fabrication of EGM's April Fool's issue. |
No
long lost Bonds here... Just a look at some of the different clothing that James
Bond wears during the solo missions, making a special appearance in Multiplayer
mode. Normally, only the black tux is available. |
With
the release of Perfect Dark, fans were finally able to see the Bond Dinner Jackets
up close for the first time. |
|
A
cheat patch can be used to return the Bond portraits to the game's file folders.
It's kinda cool to see the four Bonds returned to their respective folders.
|
Timothy
Dalton stars in The Living Daylights and License to Kill,
both film names of course being referenced in the GoldenEye game.
|
Connery.
Sean Connery. Most notable GoldenEye 007 related encounter is probably his duel
with Oddjob in Goldfinger.
|
Having
faced off against Baron Samedi, Scaramanga (The Man With The Golden Gun),
and even surviving multiple battles against Jaws, Roger Moore is a good candidate
for the Bond who wins the "Longest Innings" award...

In
their never-ending efforts to enhance the Goldeneye experience, the billiant minds
behind GoldenEye X have managed to include all five actors who've
played James Bond...
