Ahaha Baaron Samedi's laugh does get kind of old when you constantly hear it in the Egypt level, doesn't it... I still remember being hyped discovering the moonrakers.
I never had the opportunity to play through the campaign since I never owned an N64. I played on it briefly at a friend's, but we more or less played split-screen (and of course, he had a huge advantage). Even now, it's notoriously difficult to emulate without lag.
I was pretty stoked when it appeared that it would be remastered for Xbox 360 several years ago, but Nintendo are pretty stubborn when it comes to licensing. Microsoft couldn't reach an agreement with them, and the project was scrapped.
Loved it to death, me and my brothers played it often, and I loved its spiritual sucessor Perfect Dark even more. I hope the ROM of that Xbox remake comes out, love to give it a try.
