Licence to Kill
shoot'em up game for Commodore 64, 1989
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
He's big. He's back. He's James Bond
007 ......
and now in a thrilling adaptation from
the new movie Licence to Kill, you can
take his place.
Licence to Kill is a multi-level,
multi-role game - you take the controls
of helicopters, boats and tankers,
perform some death-defying parachute
stunts and take to the seas for a spot
of barefoot waterskiing. A steady aim
and steady fire is needed - shoot from
the hip and take out the 'baddies'.
It's action packed and closely follows
the latest adventures of the world's
best kept Secret Agent in the brand new
and most exciting movie of them all.
James Bond in Licence to Kill ....
appearing now on a small screen near
you.
HE'S USED TO GETTING WHAT HE WANTS ....
THIS TIME HE WANTS REVENGE.
JAMES BOND 007
LICENCE TO KILL
THE AIM OF THE GAME
Become James Bond in his latest
adventure and destroy the evil drug
smuggler Sanchez. Guide 007 as he fights
it out on Cray Cay, over Miami bay and
underwater on his way to the final
confrontation in 18-wheeler fuel
tankers. Defeat Sanchez and give Bond
what he wants - REVENGE.
SCENE 1
PART 1
Bond and Felix Leiter swoop low in their
helicopter over Cray Cay to prevent
Sanchez escaping with his beautiful
girlfriend. Avoid all tall buildings and
shoot out the gun emplacements as you
gun down his jeep. Remember - the faster
you fly the lower you go!
PART 2
Bond leaps into action and sets off on
foot to catch Sanchez. Watch out - many
of Sanchez' henchmen have been deployed
to ambush you. Duck and shoot your way
through while collecting extra
magazines. Watch out for the oil barrels
as they explode after four direct hits.
Can you make it back to Felix in the
waiting helicopter? Your wits and your
15-shot Beretta can make the difference!
PART 3
Bond is lowered by rope from the
helicopter as Sanchez attempts to escape
to Cuba in his aircraft. Guide 007 onto
the back of the dodging plane and attach
the tow rope. Remember Felix can't guide
the pilot if you are in clouds and time
is running out! Position Bond directly
over the tail of the plane and press the
fire button to 'lock-on' - it's not as
easy as it sounds.
SCENE 2
PART 1
007 dives into the thick of it as he
interrupts a 'Drop' by the drug
smugglers. They set off in hot pursuit
and Bond must swim for his life as diver
are launched against him. Swimming
underwater stops the boats from firing,
but what about the divers? Destroy the
drug caches for a bonus. Armed only with
a knife, can you hold out until the
'Drop' plane arrives?
PART 2
Harpoon the seaplane's pontoons and
you're off in a high speed chase as you
waterski barefoot behing the seaplane.
Watch out - high speed catamarans have
been launched to catch you. Weave your
way to the seaplane to gain control and
escape!
SCENE 3
You have destroyed Sanchez' drug factory
only to find he has escaped you once
again. You must prevent Sanchez reaching
the border with his drugs haul stored in
18-wheeler tankers. In the chase
sequence to end all chases you must
destroy each tanker in turn until you
reach the final tanker containing
Sanchez. Be on the lookout - Sanchez has
Stinger missiles to prevent you using
your LICENCE TO KILL.
Once you have mastered each sequence,
improve your score by going round again
- but this time it will be much harder.
CONTROLLING BOND
Bond controls a variety of vehicles by
moving left and right to dodge/steer.
Push forwards and backwards to
accelerate and decelerate. When running,
aim by pressing the fire button to go
into fire mode. Moving left and right
moves the aiming reticle and pressing
the fire button again shoots in that
direction. Push forward to continue
running. At certain times a reticle will
appear telling you to Jump, Shoot etc -
press fire to do this.
