Indeed, I wasn't impressed with the game but that's partly being unused to the controller and mainly being previously spoiled by multiplayer Doom when a friend brought his laptop over and 4 player on my college LAN.

In the late '90s I think most people did not have a PC at all. They were only just becoming affordable as the millennium hit. Surely console systems were more prevalent.
Exactly. I always thought Goldeneye was inferior to contemporary PC shooters, but for many who didn't have a powerful PC at the time, Goldeneye was their first FPS and they probably feel the same way about it as I do about the original Doom.
