[2] Released in North America on February 9, 1998, the game features a story that includes characters from multiple James Bond films, such as Oddjob and Jaws.

[3] The game begins with Bond in a Chinese village,[3] ruled by a female martial arts warlord called Zhong Mae.

[4] After a little bickering within the black market, betting at a casino, and meeting the Rat Man, Bond receives a sleeping dart gun which he uses on Oddjob's henchman.

Bond makes it to a nearby airport, which has been instructed by M to take him to Tibet, where he must scale a mountain, defeat Sumos and get captured by Oddjob again.

[4] While awaiting torture in the secret weapons base, Zhong Mae arrives and tells Bond that she has changed sides, stating that she was only trying to aid her village financially.

Critics praised the inclusion of the "James Bond Theme" and stated that the game adequately captured the spirit of the films.

[7] Conversely, reviewers for Electronic Gaming Monthly opined that it did not feel like a James Bond game, criticizing the mundane tasks like retrieving a hammer and cutting down weeds; reviewer Kraig Kujawa remarked "I'm surprised they don't have [James Bond] wash dishes to pay for business expenses."

[11] Dave Frear, writing for Nintendo Life in 2010, offered praise for the inclusion of the "James Bond Theme".

There are a few slight problems, such as the way characters won't turn to face you when talking, but generally the visuals have a simple charm that works quite well".
