James Bond is one of the
newer games from Parker Brothers but is really four games in one since
it puts 007 in four different scenarios. You may choose which one you
want In each scenario, Bond drives his Lotus Esprit while being attacked
by various foes.
Each scenario is named after
a film:
Moonraker - has Bond
attacked by large missiles launched from the sea bed and mine-launching
submarines while he tries to destroy space mines as they fly overhead.
Diamonds are Forever - where Bond must fight off some very deadly
bomb-dropping flying machines while shooting the diamonds in the sky.
For Your Eyes Only - has
bullets from below, helicopters and submarines, as well as some tricky
mountains which must all be faced by the indomitable Bond.
The Spy Who Loved Me - in
which 007 meets some smaller missiles and some deadlier helicopters as
well as the odd oil rig he must drive under.
The graphics are not
brilliant and the scenarios have little relation to the films but the
game is very playable. There is also some nice animation at the
beginning showing Bond getting into his car accompanied by the famous
Bond music.
The game is not remarkable but Parker
Brothers have produced a reasonable computer game from the screen
originals.
