GoldenEye 007 is a first person shooter for the Nintendo 64, released in August 1997 by Rare.
Rare lost the James Bond licence to Electronic Arts shortly after GE was released, which resulted in the appalling "Tomorrow Never Dies" on the PS1 and the mediocre "The World Is Not Enough" on N64. Meanwhile, Rare took the opportunity to create some original intellectual property and spent the next three years making GoldenEye's true spiritual successor, Perfect Dark.
Solo missions
All competitive play relating to GoldenEye revolves around completing the 60 solo missions - 20 levels on each of three difficulty levels - as quickly as possible.
The Elite has hosted GE speed run competition since the summer of 1997. The current world champion is Bryan Bosshardt, who holds 40 of the game's 60 World Records.

Variant leagues
After completion of all 20 levels on 00 Agent, players unlock a customizable difficulty setting called 007 Mode. This mode has spawned two very popular additional leagues: LTK and DLTK, which can be considered to be the fourth and fifth difficulty settings.
There is also competition in the Turbo League where players use only the Turbo Mode cheat.
Full runs
Your best segmented run through GoldenEye can be found by simply adding up your individual speed times. Currently the WRs are:
- Agent: 20 minutes 23 seconds by Bryan Bosshardt
- Secret Agent: 25 minutes 59 seconds by Bryan Bosshardt
- 00 Agent: 30 minutes 17 seconds by Bryan Bosshardt
Single-segment runs have also been attempted. Single-segment runs of GE are ranked here alongside similar records for Perfect Dark. There are six categories for these: runs can be through Agent, Secret Agent or 00 Agent and each of these can be timed using the in-game timer or in real time. Typically the last two (bonus) levels are not attempted here as the game goes to the credits once you beat Cradle, so only 18 levels need beating.
Strategies in full runs are different from individual level runs because you don't have the luxury of multiple attempts (multiple attempts are allowed, but the time just keeps adding on). Swift but safe strategies are preferable to one-in-a-thousand shots - with the exception of Dam, which you can attempt over and over again. In some senses, full runs provide a better judge of consistent playing ability and global game knowledge.
