Dude, You Haven't Played This Game?! PERFECT DARK N64 Retrospective: 23 YEARS LATER
95Today, 23 years ago, Perfect Dark released to North Americans in the year 2000. But what's most important about this year's anniversary is that the game released in the same month as the timeline the plot of the game takes place in. We celebrate the legacy of Perfect Dark with a very personal nostalgia trip back to the N64 era to celebrate Joanna Dark's first and best adventure. Join me as I celebrate 23 years of Perfect Dark!
Huge thank you to Kevin Bhall for the animation in the opening! This was originally supposed to be part of a 2020 Perfect Dark Zero review that got too ambitious for its budget so I'm glad that he could tweak it a bit to make it fit for the PD anniversary.
