"Man
With The Golden Gun" briefing: Francisco Scaramanga --- the Man with the
Golden Gun --- is the world's consummate assassin. His fee: one million
dollars. His signature: a golden bullet. His specialty: a single shot to
kill his victim. Now Scaramanga is after a brilliant scientist and his
Solex Agitator, and with it he will be able to create the ultimate firearm
--- a solar gun that uses the energy of the sun as its projectile. The
master killer must be stopped before he can unleash his new golden gun
against the free world.
Your
mission: M.I.6 has assigned you to protect the Solex Agitator and to stop
Scaramanga. The trail of the golden gun leads you to the mysterious Orient,
where Scaramanga has gathered his powerful assistants to stop you at any
cost. Even if you manage to find Scaramanga, you must confront him in the
ultimate test of your skills --- inside the maze of death!
Module
includes: 48-page Gamesmaster Guide, M.I.6 Agent Dossier w/ 8 Mission
Sheets & a Stand Up Screen w/ Maps.
One
player. Ages 8 & up. Victory Games / Avalon Hill from 1985. ISBN 0912515139
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.
