PC gamers "crap shoot" recently wrote an article on James Bond: The Stealth Affair...which for those unfamiliar is an old Bond DOS / Amiga adventure game. I laughed out loud multiple times while reading this article...it's spot on and a fun read. Possibly even more so if youre not familiar with this qwirky game.

I actually really like the game despite its unforgiving and extremely difficult nature and still play it at least once a year.

Never heard of this game but looks so cheesy, it might be fun to try! A funny article, and I look forward to watching the You Tube links on my home computer.

A classic peice of retro-gaming there - thanks for the link Rich.

All you need to run the game is Dos Box:

The game itself is abandonware and freely available to download:

You can also find its non bond counterpart, Operation Stealth (which is essentially the same game):

have fun :)

Oh, and save often!

Funny, I was going to start a thread on this game. Can't say I've played it, though.

Isn't abandonware illegal?

I've already e-mailed the Internet police, they should be here within the hour, with a warrant.
