Mailbag

Ah, the joys of answering e-mail. Actually, I wouldn't wish this task on my worst enemy. So many questions, so little time... I do answer as many e-mails as I have time for though, and I've posted a few of them below.

Goldeneye 007 is always a frequent topic in my Mailbox. Despite being surpassed by the technology of today's games, Goldeneye remains a fan favorite for many reasons, especially the alluring atmosphere that keeps players coming back. Several Goldeneye messages are among today's collection of mailbag postings. If you have a question about Goldeneye or any other game that hasn't been answered on the website, feel free to send it to
DetErest@detstar.com


I noticed in one of your mailbags someone said they bought a Microsoft XBox just for Perfect Dark Zero, but the game is now on the upcoming Xbox 360 instead. Wow that guy sure got screwed over big time didn't he?

At the rate of Zero's progress, it seems as if the original generation of Perfect Dark fans will get to experience the next installment with their kids someday... Unfortunately, these newborn fans will have no idea what the heck this new "Perfect Dark" game is all about.


Hiya, I've got a few questions about the Debug Menu thing... In Super Smash Bros Melee, how exactly can you choose Giga Bowser, Master hand and Crazy hand? I don't think they have a character selection icon like all 25 other characters.. And how about an icon for the stage selection?

When setting up a match, you don't have a bunch of icons to pick and choose from. You simply set your desired characters and stages on the menu screen pictured here. By pressing "CHAR SELECT", you'll be able to cycle through a list of all available choices - Including Giga Bowser.


Let me first say that Goldeneye 007 is the most mysterious video game ever. It's funny how the game can go from entertainment purposes to "Sherlock Holmes" purposes. I always use to look at Goldeneye as a popular N64 video game, but after reading into all these beta mysteries and hidden levels I began going to your site as well as searching through many other sites to get some answers. I began doing my own research, though I'm not a hacker, I would play the game and try to piece things together. I of course, got nowhere (evidence-wise) but some of your theories have answered many of my questions.

I have to ask you, Det... Over the years many things have been somewhat solved such as "Ourmov's Briefcase" "Oddjob and Mayday" even the "legendary" Citadel level. I have to know, in your opinion do you think there are many things in the game that are just waiting to be unlocked, things that know one knows about? Do you think we'll ever know for sure whether "Oddjob and Mayday" are hiding somewhere behind a crate, or a gas tank, or maybe there's an entirely new level waiting to be pieced together. Your thoughts? Thanks.

My reaction to Goldeneye was the same way. I think I played it for over a year, just for the awesomely addictive Multiplayer mode and the challenge of the missions... But discovering all of the mysteries that are hidden beneath the surface brings a whole new twist to the game.

I think we might have seen the end of landmark discoveries in Goldeneye 007... But given the fact that both the Citadel and the graphics from the "All Bonds" character suits have recently been found, only Rareware knows what's for sure what's still left to be found inside the game's memory.


Det, do you base characters from Dexter Comics on real people? Like your friends or maybe movie stars?

Although none of the characters are based on specific people, I suppose the elements that make up each character are based on countless words and actions that I've seen throughout my life...

Each character also has a bit of myself in them as well.. Everything from Dexter's negative attitude, Pete being a sucker for a cute girl, Candi's drive to compete in sports, Marley's love of cookies and snackable goods, Ned's distrusting nature, Mary Anne's grasp of schoolwork, and even Skye's interests in artwork and animals...

 


Hi Detstar

In F-Zero GX, in any course that has a barrier and a jump (Mute City Serial Gaps is best) you can drive onto the side barrier, 90 degrees to the floor. When falling from a drop, angle the ship using the L and R buttons slightly while landing on the barrier. The game will think the barrier is the floor and attach to it. I have managed to do it on Big Blue Ordeal. Unfortunately you can't do it for long because walls deplenish your
health.

Left is down, and up is right... Captain Falcon is doing some serious stunt driving for sure. Thanks for sending.


make the members only Goldeneye pages public! making members only was a HUGE mistake.

I realize that lots of people want to see the special content inside the Members section, and believe that access should be free... But web hosting certainly isn't free, and the bills have become rather expensive. So instead of shutting the entire website down, I've kept all the hundreds of original pages online where they're still available to the public...

The bonus content that's found exclusively in the Members section is a great way to say thank you to the fans who support the website, and help keep it open.

If and when the bills jump to the next level, the whole website might be available to Members only. This whole setup is quite costly, and the money needs to come from somewhere. If you can think of a simpler solution, feel free to let me know.


Did the things in Hellford high school (in Dexter Comics) happen wherever it was that you went to school?

I can't really imagine a school that doesn't have huge problems with vandalism, fighting, and fire... And every school parking lot is a setting where many entertaining incidents take place.


You rock, I love your Goldeneye page, and I have a question. Right after you start Statue and you go to the ending gate how come you can hear the helicopter?
That's a good question. The helicopter doesn't show up until later, yet we can hear it as soon as the mission begins. It's simply a programming shortcut - The game loads the helicopter at the same time it loads the Statue level. It simply stores the helicopter outside of the normal boundaries where we can't see it... But since the chopper sound effect wasn't disabled, you can still hear it when you travel into its' range.

When using the Gameshark code for "No Endings in Levels", you can actually walk right outside the gates at the beginning of the mission, and find the helicopter and flight recorder box tucked away in a corner.

When someone asks you about yourself why do you always give such mysterious responses?
P.S. Your site kicks more ass than any other site on the web!!!!!

I prefer to keep a low profile, because I enjoy my privacy, and I like to remain anonymous for undisclosed reasons. It's just nice to post articles and artwork for the fun of it, and receive feedback. I hope that doesn't count as a mysterious reply...

In the train mission of Goldeneye 007, how do you get through the door behind Trevelyan and Xenia?
To get beyond the room where the two villains disappear, you'll need Gameshark codes to walk through doors. After going through a couple doors, you're secret sidequest ends at a mysterious final door that has a view view of the black sky.

It's even possible to get into the room with Trevelyan and Xenia without a Gameshark... It's difficult to do, and quickly strafing your way in before the door closes seems like a good bet. If you manage to get inside, you will of course be locked in.

Hey I was just wondering how old is Marley from the Dexter Comics? I know he's alot older than Dexter

The old hippie known only as Marley is somewhere in his early 20's. He's the oldest student attending Hellford High School - Although, he certainly doesn't have the best attendance record, and the dude has failed more classes than he can remember.


Why do some people think just because a game is old it automatically sux?

Today's new games rather seductive... They offer amazing soundtracks and booming sound effects, as well as mind-blowing graphics and movie scenes... These games win over many new fans, while many of the older games are forgotten.

Many new innovations have made yesterday's games obsolete. This is true in many cases, but there are many special games that have become true classics that will always have a strong fan following. I recently told someone about the fun quest in Zelda: A Link to the Past for the Super NES, and the automatic response was "But that game is old, isn't?"

The graphics and overall presentation of older SNES and N64 games are no match for are no match for the hot new games on the market... Even though I enjoyed Wind Waker on the GameCube, I personally think that older games like Ocarina of Time on the N64 were even better.

Hey Det, my friend and I were playing Goldeneye 007 a couple of days ago and realized that if you play timed mines or remote mines the AR33 actually has the picture of a KF7. Its weird if you look at it it looks like the KF7 but if you pick it up it is clearly the AR33.

Just a little bit of a glitch in the game... Even though the weapon will be an AR33 when you pick it up, the game loads the image of the KF7 instead.
