Q: What is that island across the Dam for and how do I get to it?
A: The island is not used in the game anymore. It used to be accessible by a boat. You had to go across there to complete the "neutralise all alarms" objective. Rare couldn't be bothered to finish it because they needed the release date. If you use an AR Code Or Gs Code you can get to it. Notice how the tower has changed since the making of that island
Q: Why does Ourumov drop a key and his briefcase on silo?
A: Again it used to be an objective. You had to give the key and case to a double agent like Doak but again it didn't make the release date.
Q: Why is there a weird gun on the back of the ge box?
A: It was an early version of a KF7 soviet.
Q: Why does the glass on the box look different than in the game.
A: It has lines across the glass on the box. Now the glass has been modified so that it reflects better from different angles making it more realistic. If you go to the Aztec level, then thru the phoney mainframe into the room with guards standing in alcoves just before the exhaust bay, then step into an alcove and look up, you will see glass. It is exactly the same as on the box.
Q: Why is there a cage on the box and a vent in silo?
A: The cage was a lift, as for the vent. Well I don't know. It's unexplained. There may still be something there. If u look down from the start point there is a ladder. I have found out that it was probably how Bond got into the lift (picture of lift in Silo on the back of the Goldeneye 007 box.
Q: Is there a 24th cheat?
A: Quite simply there isn't. True it's disappointing. It was going to be all Bonds (multi). For some reason, it got taken out which is a shame. I was wondering how it would be accessed. By completing the game perhaps. Also many rumours say that there was a definite confirmation of there being a way to get all Bonds. I myself saw it on the teletext. However it was just a very mean April fools joke by EGM. Line mode has also been rumoured to be the 24th cheat. However Rare took it out cos it was to crap to include. Cheats like super 10 X health and 2 X armour can be accessed with cheat carts. I think Rare took these out because invincible overruled them. Max ammo and Extra guns were also cheats but were overruled by all guns and infinite ammo. According to the AR also there was a cheat called Bond Phase. I have no idea what this means or why it was taken out. I'd love someone to mail me and say why there was Bond phase, what it was and why it was ruled out. Also I'd like to know how all these extra cheats could be activated.
Q: What is the citadel ?
A: It was going to be a level in single and multi rumoured to have Mayday in. The only thing that says it ever existed is a couple of strings in the programming. Nobody really knows anything about it except for a few lucky Rare staff and ßoba Fett code Master (he has a beta version of Goldeneye)
Q: Why were statue and cradle cut out of the multi game but still accessible by cheat cart?
A: A long story. Basically Rare tested all the single player levels out, and chucked out the slow ones. Statue and cradle were chucked out later because of frame rate drops (if you've used an AR/GS and played the level you'll know what I mean.) Frame rate drops are if things disappear if the game engine goes too fast for memory to run so many players etc. Anyway as far as I know frame rate came after slowdown. You'll probably notice if you check very carefully. Outdoor levels with not many objects (like surface) make Bond run very slightly slower. That's probably why Statue and Cradle (which are big levels but don't actually have much moving space) were chucked out last. Streets and Aztec are now available by Gameshark (not AR) but have very poor quality.
