Okay, that is some of the oddest question I've had...but I find it funny at the same time haha! ***What famous historical figure would you like to play N64 Goldeneye against?*** That's easy. Annie Oakley! I got to see if she could translate those live skills to the N64 game!!! Gosh, Goldeneye....those are some memories! Loved that game but havent played since the early 2000s. I don't think it aged THAT well to be honest. So I might prefer keeping those memories....as intact as they are! Oh and if you don't know who Annie Oakley is...here's a little something about her for anyone interested: **Annie Oakley was perhaps the most famous female shooter in American history. Even today, many skilled marksmen still marvel at the amazing shooting feats she performed on stage. Born Phoebe Ann Moses in 1860, she became one of the most famous women of the 19th century. Oakley learned to shoot at a youg age because her family’s livelihood depended on her hunting and trapping skills. She became famous when she joined the legendary Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show, introducing her to a much larger audience. One of Oakley’s greatest feats was shooting a playing card in half from 30 yards — not only once but multiple times in a row until the card was obliterated. Also, at one point, she held the future of the world in her hands when she shot a cigar from the mouth of Kaiser Wilhelm, the German Emperor. Had she missed, she could have changed the course of history. It wasn’t like Oakley to miss her target, as she earned the nickname “Little Sure Shot” from Sitting Bull, who was also a member of Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show. Oakley never forgot about her early years in poverty throughout her life, and she often donated a portion of her earnings to charity. Oakley was also a leader in an early feminism movement. When the U.S. was preparing for the Spanish-American War in 1898, she gathered a group of 50 female sharpshooters to join the Army. They were turned away, but it didn’t stop Oakley from teaching other women how to shoot. She is credited with teaching over 15,000 women how to handle a firearm.**
