"Dr.
No" briefing: Something is terribly wrong on the island paradise of Jamaica.
The always reliable M.I.6 Station head has failed to make his report and
has since disappeared. What terrible secret is so important on Jamaica
it is worth the risk of murdering an M.I.6 operative? All clues point to
the existence of a mysterious figure unknown to the British Secret Service
- someone called Dr. No. Where is Dr. No located, and could he prove a
threat to the rest of the world?
Your
mission: Against the backdrop of romance and intrigue in the Caribbean,
you must discover the link between the missing Station head and Dr. No.
Though your assignment sounds simple enough, you will find yourself in
constant jeopardy as you seek to separate the lies and legends from the
truth about Dr. No.
Module
includes: 48-page Gamesmaster Guide, M.I.6 Agent Dossier w/ 8 Mission Sheets
& a Stand Up Screen.
One
player. Ages 8 & up. Victory Games / Avalon Hill from 1984. ISBN 0912515066
NOTE:
Ownership of the Basic Game is required to play modules & supplements.
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.
