Serguei2 Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 I went to mobygames I found something familiar: Parker Brothers James Bond 007 ad https://www.mobygames.com/game/james-bond-007_/promo/promoImageId,470855/ looks like Activision Keystone Kapers II prototype http://atariage.com/forums/topic/281377-keystone-kapers-ii-found/. At the end, James Bond 007 is more closer to moon patrol than this actual screenshot. is there a story behind two games? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Cafeman Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Thats interesting and I remember seeing that ad BITD. My theory is that common ideas often occur at the same time, for example A Bugs Life and Antz films. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Psionic Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 I thought of that as soon as I saw KK II also, but I would say it's just a coincidence. The version of James Bond that took place on a train was supposedly in development at Western Technologies but they were way behind in completing it, so Parker contracted another company (On-Time Software) to develop the version that ended up being released.

classicgamesnut Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Not trying to distract from the topic, but the first software company was behind schedule, so Parker Bros went with "On-Time Software!" That's too funny! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's too funny! I'm pretty sure the name was an in-joke specifically based on this incident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
