GoldenEye 007 remake for XBLA is fully playable on PC

The remastered version of the classic Nintendo 64 game GoldenEye 007 for Xbox Live Arcade is never released because of licensing issues. That cancelled remake was developed by Rare around 2007--2008 and was nearly complete. Fortunately, there is a "leaked" ROM online of this remake, which is fully playable using the Xbox 360 emulator Xenia

Different from the 2010 full remake developed by Eurocom for Wii (which is now playable using the GameCube/Wii emulator Dolphin) and NDS, and the Reloaded version for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 (which is now playable using the PS3 emulator RPCS3), the XBLA version keeps the most original flavor and sentiment of the N64 version, and even allows you to switch between the new enhanced and the legacy graphics in game.
