"Absolutely the best book I've read about a videogame -- or a film -- and I'm not just saying that because it's, you know, GoldenEye. It's warm, personable, and surprisingly filled with minor dramatic incidents. Considering that a videogame is essentially a long process where a number of people sit down at computers for a long time, that is impressive." - Martin Hollis, Director of GoldenEye 007
Through extensive interviews with GoldenEye’s creators, writer and scholar Alyse Knorr traces the story of how this unlikely licensed game reinvigorated a franchise and a genre. Learn all the stories behind how this iconic title was developed, and why GoldenEye 007 has continued to kick the living daylights out of every other Bond game since.
This deluxe hardcover edition contains everything from the standard paperback edition, plus:
- A new cover drawn by illustrator Mel Tow and designed by Cory Schmitz.
- Pages of drawings, photos, and design docs that take you behind the scenes from the development of GoldenEye 007.
- An additional chapter, "The Shots Heard Round the World," that goes deep into the story of how Graeme Norgate and Grant Kirkhope created GoldenEye's iconic soundtrack, and how Norgate and Martin Hollis tweaked the game's sound effects to make them shine.
