GoldenEye 007 Nintendo 64 Game Cartridge

The item is a Nintendo 64 (N64) game cartridge for the game 'GoldenEye 007'. It features a standard N64 cartridge design, which is a rectangular, grey plastic shell with a molded groove on the top edge for insertion into the console. The cartridge measures approximately 4.5 inches in height, 3 inches in width, and 0.75 inches in thickness. The primary visual element is the front label, which depicts a realistic illustration of Pierce Brosnan as James Bond, holding a firearm. The 'GoldenEye 007' logo is prominently displayed in gold and red lettering across the top of the label. Below the title, the Nintendo 64 logo is visible, and further down, the official Nintendo seal of quality and the 'Teen' ESRB rating are clearly legible. Below the ESRB rating is a small 'R' in a circle, likely indicating Rare, the developer. The visible condition is excellent, consistent with the 'Mint' additional context provided. There are no apparent scratches, scuffs, or discoloration on the plastic casing. The label is clean, fully adhered, and shows no signs of peeling, fading, or creasing. All text and graphics on the label are sharp and highly legible. The edges and corners of the cartridge appear intact and undamaged. There are no visible manufacturing details beyond the Nintendo and Rare logos, which are typical for N64 games. The N64 console era dates this item to the late 1990s, specifically the game was released in 1997. The craftsmanship is standard for mass-produced video game cartridges of its era, characterized by durable injection-molded plastic and a high-quality printed label. Its pristine condition is a significant quality indicator.
