About this listen

Today, we’re infiltrating dataDyne and stepping into the world of Perfect Dark, Rare’s ambitious 2000 sci-fi shooter that aimed to build upon the success of GoldenEye 007. We begin by exploring the origins of Rare and the technical innovations that defined Perfect Dark, from its enhanced N64 engine and real-time lighting to its pioneering use of AI and multiplayer bots. Then, we’ll dive into the game’s stealth-based gameplay, rich sci-fi narrative, and the design of protagonist Joanna Dark, inspired by pop culture icons like Dana Scully. Finally, we reflect on the franchise’s legacy—from canceled sequels and launch titles to a modern reboot still in development. So, grab your laptop gun and night vision goggles as we go covert on today’s trip down Memory Card Lane!
