Aztec origins, 1997-2005 (GoldenEye 007 SpeedLore - Episode 06 i : The Aztec Strat Master)

Описание: Aztec. Perhaps the definitive level in all of GoldenEye 007, and certainly one we all remember most vividly. An extreme challenge, even to many experienced Goldeneye players this day, we pushed ourselves to the limits to beat it on 00 Agent, or beat the cheat time on Secret Agent.

Aztec has so much story when it comes to speedrunning, that I couldn't just pick one of the three difficulties, so it seemed to make the most sense to do three parts going over how the level changed and developed since the game's release. In this part, we look at some heavy competition from some of the game's legends, some tremendous controversy, and the invention of the single most significant gamebreak in GoldenEye 007 to this date.
