James Bond 007 (Agent difficulty) - 9950 pts!

 

Just like on the first level, stay as far as possible to the left when you dive under the oil tankers on level 2. I cleared a few, but never got to the end of the level. This game definitely has more than meets the eye, so those who disregarded it early on probably are missing out a bit. It reminds me of that Skateboard game that almost nobody enjoyed except me, also a variant of the Moon Patrol theme.

 

Tend to agree - had a few goes today, the full game on Agent seems quite reasonable really , the flashing mayhem hides some of the divers shots so it works out ok. I didn't figure out how to end the first level but then I read up and still failed to land on the oil rig ?! but will try again next time.

Score 14,950 Agent 000

The Living Daylights: Reached stage 3

Not sure if I'm doing something wrong, but this one seems to be almost unplayable.  The enemies never seem to stop coming and there does not seem to be a safe way to play without eventually taking too much damage.

 

Wonder if this is to do with having the correct weapon (chosen at the end of each stage) - Fandal's site has the correct order

 

Will end this round and start up the next one in the morning.

 

The poll is tied so if anyone is left to vote please do so:

Congratulations to rdrunner for the win! Special thanks to carlsson and @Xuel for getting the full James Bond cart game made into a file version, I will play this more in the catch-up and improve round later in the season as it has more to offer than first appears. Thanks also to carlsson again and rdrunner for posting great info on the game

 

Not sure about The Living Daylights but may play it again too

Yes, I figured that with an average of 7.7 with 99 votes, James Bond 007 could not entirely be a matter of nostalgia.

Minor thing: I didn't get the 007 ranking on Agent.  I only finished with one life remaining, earning me a 004.
