I'll admit, I never got into GoldenEye. But a lot of people I know did, and I can remember watching them play on the N64 at a local game store, renting time with the game for some four-player, split-screen mayhem. This was well before the days of Twitch or even widespread online gaming, and it was a blast to play or watch with friends.

Now you can relive those moments -- without having to share your screen -- with a new free-to-play adaptation of the classic James Bond shooter. Created by a dedicated team of fans in Valve's Source Engine, GoldenEye: Source offers updated graphics, with 25 maps, 10 multiplayer modes, and 28 weapons. Many of the original game's iconic locations and weapons are included, but there's no single-player mode. Which isn't that big of a loss, really.

The team behind the project has been working on it for 10 years. While earlier versions have been available -- this is technically GoldenEye Source 5.0 -- this is the biggest update the game has received in three years. Said the project's managing director and lead programmer:

"There is more work to be done, and will no doubt be more unseen hurdles, but with GE:S 5.0 I am confident we’re starting things on the right foot. We look forward to finally playing with the community and getting their thoughts on all of our hard work.

You can download GoldenEye: Source 5.0 here or hit up the wiki for more detailed information.
