Any fans of these here, from the 1980s?
How did they work etc.?
Would love to know more about these. I believe that Raymond Benson was behind some of them and that Victory Games produced some of them.
A very overlooked area of the James Bond phenomenon, I feel.
Perhaps it's time to reverse that fact...-

The James Bond RPG was by far one of the best. The mechanics of the game were very good, and superior to most of the competition. The game did a really great job of capturing the feel of the Bond movies. The character generation system, for example, made it easy to create your own individual agent.
It was also a very well-written game. My wife is not a gamer, but she used to enjoy reading the various Bond RPG materials because they were entertaining. The Q-Manual and Thrilling Locations were particularly fun reads.
A bit of trivia: For legal reasons, the Bond RPG was barred from making any references to Blofeld or SPECTRE, so they created a new organization called TAROT. However, there was one exception to the no-Blofeld rule. In a passing reference to Tracy, there is a mention of the fact that Blofeld killed her.
