"You
Only Live Twice" briefing: A Soviet space laboratory has somehow dropped
out of orbit and crashed into the Sea of Japan. Unknown to the rest of
the world, an experiment aboard the lab has gone out of control. A deadly
strain of virus has mutated inside the lab. If the lab is opened, the virus
will escape and decimate the world's population. It is now a race against
time to discover who has found the space lab... and to stop them from releasing
a plague that will destroy civilization.
Your
mission: Your search for the fallen space lab takes you through the exotic
streets of Tokyo and to the outer islands of Japan. As your investigations
proceed, you find there is far more to the mystery than an accident in
space. Treachery and deceit await you at every turn. Finally, you must
come face-to-face in a showdown to the death with the dreaded Japanese
master assassin - the Ninja!
Also
see the sequel "You
Only Live Twice II - Back Of Beyond".

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.
