I remember being really young when I picked this game up. The excitement of just owning a game that had James Bond in it was enough to make me flip out. Sadly I soon realized that the game is more then lacking. To start off, the game comes with an instruction manual that has a seemingly pointless mosaic tile picture on the back cover. Turns out you need to use that mosaic tile picture to answer a password before you start playing. If you lose your instruction manual, as I did, you are screwed and the game might as well go in the trash. Why they did this I do not know, it's not like people were copying games back then anyways. As for the actual game play, lacking is a word that comes to mind. You start off in a bus station with pretty much zero direction as what yo are supposed to do. I spend hours in that goddamn bus station and was patient out of loyalty to Bond. Eventually I just had to give up and come to the realization that there was no leaving the first screen. Bear in mind that I was really young when I played this game so my problem solving skills were not top notch, but I can still remember it being a total dissapointment. I had to wait eight more years for Goldeneye to come out on the NES and rock my world.
