James Bond 007: The Duel

Side-scrolling action game where you infiltrate enemy bases as Bond, rescuing hostages and planting explosives to level each facility. You're armed with a pistol and face waves of thugs plus recurring boss fights against franchise villains like Jaws and Oddjob. Each level ends when you've freed the captives and detonated the bomb at a key location. The game uses an original story rather than adapting a specific film, though it pulls familiar faces from the broader 007 canon. It's built around straightforward run-and-gun mechanics—move right, shoot enemies, reach objectives. Timothy Dalton's likeness appears in the opening screens. If you want uncomplicated early-'90s platforming with a Bond skin, this delivers that without much pretense.
