This review is spot on. Every word regarding the game is 100% accurate! I played this game back in '93 after renting it from Blockbuster and was amazed.
I too picked this up for five bucks! I loved it. Went in with zero expectations. Was surprised how good it was! Nice review - funny too. Man, if only we'd known about those old games.
Same! When my mom bought this for me after I picked it up at the discount bin I was like ah this is probably going to suck but whatever, it’s $5. But like you said, I was surprised lol. Wish I bought all of them that day in the discount bin
In the 90s, I always saw this at my local video store but never picked it up. Always thought Dalton was a lame Bond and didn't expect the game to be ANY good. Then, a few years later, I was going crazy with emulators and downloaded a 007 game i had no idea existed. I was so blown away that when I went to track down info and saw the cover I was like "Oh sh... it's THAT game??"
This is exactly how I felt when first tried this game decades ago. Seemed ok, nothing special, but you can't stop trying again and again. The music is a blast and these abrupt dorky enemy death screams burned into my memory. And it was so satisfying to shoot them off these tree platform edges as they ran and still had inertia😄
Exactly, man. It wasn't your go-to game as a kid but for some reason you wanted to keep playing it here n there to see if you could beat it. Haha yea the death screams are so classic
Good review. As you say, there are just so many hidden gems videos but even with all of those I had never heard of this one. It looks fun and I'll definitely check it out.
@@VicariouslyRetro Yes Electronic Art games on Genesis has a unique sound on the soundtrack and I believe playing the Aha soundtrack of the Living Daylights will sound close to the original to the Aha soundtrack that is what is awesome about EA games for Sega Genesis.
I only played the Master System version back in the day, which looked quite stellar for an 8-bit title. I wouldn't quite call it a "hidden gem", but it's not a bad game.
Never played the master system game before. I only own like 3-4 master system games. I’ve been meaning to start collecting for it since I have the power base converter for the model 1 genesis
@@VicariouslyRetro It's not exactly the same game, it follows the same formula but I'd say it's different enough to warrant playing both. The Master System had much more of a presence here in Europe, so no wonder you never ran into this game (I think it was too late a release to even come out in the US).
@@VicariouslyRetro I had to check and, like I guessed, it doesn't seem to have been released in the US. A Euro copy wasn't expensive last time I saw it though.

Haha thank you! Glad someone shares the same love for this game as me.
One of my favourite games of that era
Same! And the fact that barely anyone knew/knows about it makes it a true hidden gem
Thanks for making this video. As both a James Bond / Timothy Dalton and retro video game fan, I was always curious about this game. I'm 41.
You got it! I’m almost 38 and I’ve been playing this for about 30 years. Never gets old for me (by playing it once every 2-3 years)

Man I played the crap out of this as a kid. Thanks for the memories dude
Thanks for watching! I know, this game is so nostalgic for me

Hahaha that’s funny. Yea the game look like a typical shovelware game when looking at the cover but it’s surprisingly good
@@user-id6ld8cr2l nah I didn't like him. "SHUT THE BLOODY THING OFF" Ok bro. But that's just my opinion :)
How did I not know this game existed!
It’s very obscure in terms of an above average game. Check it out if you have the chance!

Thanks, bro! Def check it out, it’s underrated AF
Easy sub, bro. Good work, good stuff!
Thanks, dude! Appreciate it
I've never even heard of this game, wild that i keep finding new games to try on my Genesis
Love when that happens
I'm always looking for new sega games. I'll keep an eye out next tim I'm at the game store
It’s a good one! Let me know later on if you like it
@@VicariouslyRetro definitely. We're headed to the gamestore after we eat. I'll keep an eye out
Gamestore didn't have a copy but we're gonna use "alternative" methods to play this evening
@@NightcapsAndNostalgia🤘🏻
First time hearing about this game!
It’s one of my favorites. You should check it out
@@VicariouslyRetro Sucks that Electronic Arts never released it under The Living Daylights, just to play the Aha soundtrack.
@@Embargoman is this in regards to the James Bond game?

Ah I didn’t know that! Cool
I've never seen this.. and I love Rolling Thunder. New subscriber 👍🏾
Thanks, dude! Check it out. You won’t be disappointed, in my opinion.
