| Domark "A View To A Kill" (1985) "The Game That makes you FEEL like a 60-Year-Old Bond.
Domark split the game into three separate sections, inspired by scenes from the film. It starts with the famous movie intro sequence of the moving gunsight and Bond shooting towards the camera. In the first section set in Paris, James Bond commandeers a taxi to follow May Day who has parachuted from the Eiffel Tower. Roadblocks and police cars are out to stop Bond, who can shoot his pistol at them to get them out of the way. The display is in three sections -- an overhead map of Paris, a small 3D view from the car's point of view, and a scanner showing May Day's height. James must carefully position his car to catch her as she lands. In the second section, James must help Stacey Sutton (Tanya Roberts in the film) escape from San Francisco City Hall, which is on fire. Each room is displayed from a side-on perspective. James must collect useful objects to get through the floors of the building, such as keys to open doors and buckets of water to stop the progress of the fire. (Most Bond fans were rooting for him not to find her.) In the third and final section takes place in a mine, which consisted of a huge, side-scrolling maze of tunnels and caves. James must collect the code numbers to stop the detonation of Zorin's bomb. Bond runs around the mine, avoiding rockfalls and long drops. Among the objects he can pick up are a grapnel gun (to fire ropes upward which he can climb to safety) and a plank of wood to bridge gaps. May Day is also somewhere in the mine. A password system lets the user play the second or third levels on their own without completing the first.   |
