Perfect Dark

"Perfect Dark" is a first-person shooter developed by Rare and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo 64 console. It is considered the spiritual successor to Rare's earlier first-person shooter "GoldenEye 007," with which it shares many gameplay mechanics. "Perfect Dark" was first released on May 22, 2000, in North America; the PAL and NTSC-J versions followed shortly thereafter. A separate Game Boy Color game, also titled Perfect Dark, was released in August 2000 as a companion to the main game and allows certain features of the Nintendo 64 game to be unlocked via a Transfer Pak. The game features a single-player mode with 17 main missions in which the player takes on the role of Carrington Institute agent Joanna Dark, who attempts to thwart a conspiracy by the rival company dataDyne. It also offers a range of multiplayer options, including a co-op mode and traditional deathmatch settings. Technically speaking, it is one of the most advanced games developed for the Nintendo 64, featuring an optional high-resolution graphics mode and Dolby Surround Sound. A Nintendo 64 Expansion Pak is required to access the game’s campaign and most multiplayer features.

Story

Perfect Dark is set in early 2022 and follows agent Joanna Dark during the final phase of her training at the Carrington Institute, a research center founded by Daniel Carrington. After completing her training, Joanna is sent on a mission to destroy a cyborg factory in the South American jungle. The facility is run by Mink Hunter and produces high-tech weapons for terrorist operations. Joanna successfully completes her mission, kills Hunter and destroys the entire facility. She then reports that when she landed in the jungle, she saw a plane being shot down and wrote down the coordinates. Carrington learns that there is a UFO in the area and that dataDyne, the Carrington Institute's rival company, is running off with the alien wreckage. Joanna is sent to investigate the crash site, but is eventually captured and taken to the research vessel Pelagic I along with the alien wreckage. An alien eventually rescues Joanna and tells her to gather as much information as she can about the alien wreckage and then sink the Pelagic I. Having succeeded, Joanna tells Carrington that the wreck belongs to an alien race called the Skedar. The situation changes abruptly when the Carrington Institute is stormed by a dataDyne task force intent on destroying all evidence against them. Joanna defends the Carrington Institute and her work earns her enough recognition to take part in their next mission. The game ends with the Carrington Institute conducting further investigations on dataDyne.
