The
ad could read, "Experience the life of a secret agent ... work for M.I.6,
the British Secret Service. Or assume the role of the most famous agent
of all. Prepare yourself for endless thrills, high-living and danger. Reach
out for excitement in ... The World of James Bond 007."
Here
you careen through high-speed chases as you track down villains or escape
their evil henchmen! Pit yourself against Odd Job and Jaws, and thwart
the plans of Dr. No and Goldfinger! Choose your special skills as an agent
--- weapon and vehicle handling, hand-to-hand combat, gambling, mountaineering,
demolitions. Select your equipment from Q Branch, and have your weapons
and vehicles modified to suit each of your missions!

Additional
info:
The
007, James Bond items from Victory Games were divided into three areas:
Action
Episodes: There are four of these that I can find --- "Goldfinger",
"Live & Let Die",
"Man With The Golden Gun" and "You
Only Live Twice". These involved gameboards or mapboards, Counters,
Cards and interaction by a player involving some episode, usually from
the movie.
Adventure
Modules: These are --- The "007 Basic Set", "A
View To A Kill", "Dr.
No", "For Your
Eyes Only", "Goldfinger",
"Goldfinger II - Man With
The Midas Touch", "Live
And Let Die", "Man
With The Golden Gun", "Octopussy",
"You Only Live
Twice" and "You
Only Live Twice II - Back Of Beyond". These were more traditional role-playing
games, with characters built up, dice rolling and imagination used.
Supplements:
These are --- "For
Your Information", "Gamesmaster
Pack", "Q Manual", "Thrilling
Locations" and "Villains".
These were added enhancements for the Adventure Modules.
The
only oddities in the above were the "Bond
Assault Game", which had a mix of Episode & Adventure game and
could be played either way, and "On
Her Majesty's Secret Service", which used Action & NPC cards.
An
important note regarding Avalon Hill games
- It was not unusual for Avalon Hill to re-publish most of their games
with 2nd, 3rd or more Editions. Sometimes the game components changed,
sometimes they didn't. If your game components do not correspond exactly
with what is listed, do not despair. You may just have to do a little more
checking to insure its completeness.
