Confirmed: Oddjob Users Are Cheats

There has been a debate over the years whether or not those who used Oddjob in GoldenEye 64 are cheaters.

As part of an extensive oral history of the game in Mel magazine (via Huffington Post), Goldeneye gameplay and engine programmer Mark Edmonds weighed in on the Oddjob debate and, somewhat officially, settled it: Playing as Oddjob is cheating:

“It’s definitely cheating to play as Oddjob! But that can just add to the fun when you’re all sitting there next to each other and berating/poking/hitting the person who chooses him,” Edmonds says. “We could have put something in to stop this blatant cheating, but why not just let players decide on their own rules?”

Well, there you have it…
