Happy 20th anniversary, Perfect Dark! From exploring its very-near-future setting to fighting friends with fancy firearms (Laptop Gun! FarSight! Slayer!), let us know your memories of our sci-fi shooter. Not played it? Alien butt is always available for a kicking via Rare Replay!

If you don't know how Perfect Dark came to be in the minds of a post-GoldenEye team, you can always revisit our full Making of Perfect Dark video by aiming your sights right here:

We put together a further Five Things You Didn't Know About Perfect Dark video back then too, delving into even more insider titbits such as Elvis' shoe selection, some 'famous' faces and, of course, cheese:

Want to reminisce about going outside (a luxury!), walking to the shops and actually buying Perfect Dark back in the year 2000? Then join the multi-talented @inel in this Rare Necessities write-up, as he recalls launch day at middle-class Patrick's house: http://bit.ly/rnperfect 

Not familiar with the cast of Perfect Dark? Then join us on another misty-eyed jaunt, this time to the @RareLtd website around about the time we were stuffing Perfect Dark through the Xbox Live Arcade tubes with its new lick of paint, and a welcome second stick on the controller.
