Perfect Dark was developed by Rare and released for Nintendo 64 in 2000 as a futuristic follow-up to GoldenEye 007, starring agent Joanna Dark. Its distinctive console audio and sci-fi setting made it a lasting favourite among retro shooter fans, and short clips from the game continue to circulate in gaming edits, soundboards and nostalgia compilations. Because the game is so closely tied to that era of console gaming, even a one-second snippet can instantly place a video in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
