As a teen boy in the 90s, console gaming with friends was way more common than playing PC games online.
GoldenEye was THE multiplayer game that every boy with an N64 had to have. There was just nothing else like it at the time.
The conspicuous lack of blood and gore in the game made it much more acceptable for parents to buy in a time period when violence in video games was still a hot button culture war issue.
This same cohort of gamers moved on to Perfect Dark, then Halo when those games came out. This wave eventually dissipated into all the mass market console FPS shooters we have today.
