I played Mace Griffin: Bounty Hunter on PC. It was an FPS with levels that went from on foot to space combat fights without loading screens at the time, so it was unique. I remember there were an enemy faction that basically had CRT-like monitors for heads (I think they were some technocult). They were interesting when they died... It was totally not a AAA game, like AA quality.
I think I played the Gamecube version of Nightfire (but could have played the PC version thanks to the high seas). Nightfire was not from any of the Bond movies. After Goldeneye N64 (Rare/Nintendo), EA handled Bond publishing and did the next two movies: Tomorrow Never Dies (3rd person and so much cut in development), and The World Is Not Enough (N64 one was pretty good, Multiplayer was fun). Then EA just churned out a Bond game almost every year for 5 years not attached to any of the Movies before loosing rights to Activision.
Tribes: on PC. Literally can't remember which I was first exposed to, it was fun. My memory from that time is mixed with Unreal/UT2002/2003 type gameplay not helped by the fact they used the Unreal engine for Vengeance and Ascend. And the fast pace movement of the skiing and jetpacks. The fact the 3rd game was put in early access and is basically defunct due to low player uptake basically killing it off. The last game I played for a little bit was similar to Tribes was FireFall which was a F2P 3rd/FPSMMO on PC, and that was due to the designer having been a previous Tribes developer.
