The second game, James Bond 007: A View to a Kill, is a text-based adventure for MS-DOS, Macintosh, and Apple II.

In the first section set in Paris, James Bond commandeers a taxi to follow May Day who has parachuted from the Eiffel Tower.

James must collect useful objects to get through the floors of the building, like keys to open doors and buckets of water to stop the progress of the fire.

Among the objects he can pick up are a grapnel gun (to fire ropes upward which he can climb to safety) and a plank of wood to bridge gaps.

Mindscape published the text adventure game by Angelsoft Inc for DOS, Macintosh and Apple II computers with the full title James Bond 007: A View to a Kill.

"[4] Zzap!64 reviewed the Commodore 64 version again in 1992, giving it a 19 percent rating and writing that "the problem was a licence with such potential being turned into such a diabolical arcade adventure.

"[5] QuestBusters, which wrote a positive review, praised the game's "well-written" text and "well-paced story", but criticized its first level for being "a skullsmasher that's near impossible without information obtained only in the film.
