![]() ![]() I actually survived this situation by the way, as the car can jump onto even the smallest point of land. The Atari 5200 version seems almost identical to the 8-bit computer one, which isn't much of a shock as their hardware is almost identical. I'm back in the car, in the water, dodging mines and shooting space rockets. I dunno, I thought maybe I'd get to fly a space shuttle and do something different. The Atari 8-bit computers get a level select, so I went with Moonraker this time. I realise that you don't actually care, I just like to pack my posts with extra screenshot value. This screenshot isn't actually from the ColecoVision though, it's from the Sega SG-1000 version which starts on the Spy Who Loved Me level and looks basically identical. So this is also the first Roger Moore Bond game. Level two is the Spy Who Loved Me, and it's pretty similar in gameplay, though with more enemies around, and this time I'm allowed to shoot them all. Which is apparently how you complete the Diamonds are Forever stage. I decided to jump over it, just to be safe, and accidentally got my car stuck to it. One screen flash revealed an oil rig in the background. I can definitely destroy those bloody frogmen though fortunately, as my car has a separate spiky mine launcher for underwater enemies. It's not actually daytime here right now, the screen just flashes every time I shoot one. It seems I can't destroy the diamonds in this version, but I can continue shooting them for more points. I guess that explains why it's powerful enough to blast away chunks of the ground I'm driving on. I suppose that 'flying robot' must actually be the diamond laser satellite then. Wait, don't tell me those floating diamonds I've been shooting are ACTUALLY DIAMONDS. Oh, that level was supposed to be from Diamonds are Forever? Uh, I don't really remember any of that happening in the movie, though it's nice to know that Connery's Bond was actually the first video game 007 (there he is waving by his car). I suppose I should check out the other versions too though, in case they turn out to be something entirely different. Sadly I did a shitty job of it and got my last car blown up. Scenery change! Now the robot's shots create ripples in the water, which I have to leap over. Yeah it seems that my guns have only one function, shooting sparkly space diamonds, or whatever they're meant to be. They on the other hand had no trouble blowing up one of my cars with a single bullet. Helicopters and this robot thing keep flying past and trying to shoot me, and there's not much I can do about it as my weapons are absolutely useless against them. Definitely not Octopussy.įortunately it's a jumping car, so flame pits are no problem. Right, it seems that 007's in a space car, and we're on a mission to the flame pits of Mars. But not this one obviously, it's on the Atari 2600. fuck, I didn't think this idea through at all did I? Still, there's some good movie tie-in games out there, I mean everyone liked GoldenEye right? Any one of these games could turn out to be awesome. I don't blame them really, I wouldn't want to work on anything called Octopussy either.Īs far as I'm aware this is the original Bond game, the first in a very long line of movie tie-in games. James Bond came out the same year as Octopussy hit cinemas, but for whatever reason it's apparently not based on the movie. I'm honestly shocked that this is making a decent attempt at playing the James Bond theme. Sorry about that.įormats: Atari 2600, Atari 5200, Atari 8-Bit, ColecoVision, Commodore 64, SG-1000. So if for whatever reason you don't like reading about James Bond, or looking at crap screenshots from ancient Atari and Commodore systems, I'll apologise now. It's another Super Adventures special event! Every day for the next week I'll be going through the first 10 years of the Bond game series, from James Bond 007 to The Duel, and hopefully everything in between. This is what happens when I have Photoshop open when I'm bored. Super AiG's Guide to Every (Old) James Bond Game Ever, Volume 1
