The story begins at Rare , a small developer in rural Twycross, England. A team of just nine people—most of whom had never made a game before—were tasked with turning a James Bond film into a rail shooter. They defied their orders, choosing instead to build a non-linear, objective-based world.

If you’re asking for a of the game itself (not the ROM file type), here’s a detailed breakdown:
In the mid-1990s, the first-person shooter (FPS) genre was largely the domain of PC gamers. Titles like Doom and Quake ruled the landscape with keyboard-and-mouse precision. Console shooters were often viewed as inferior ports, clunky and unresponsive. That changed in 1997 when Rare, a British studio under the guidance of director Martin Hollis, released GoldenEye 007 . Based on the 1995 James Bond film, the game didn’t just break the stigma of "movie tie-in games"—it redefined what a console shooter could be.
