[@ppsarrakis]

thats cause back then only ultra nerds knew about that stuff so couldnt cheapen it out

[@criticalbil1]

Underrated Bond film, I think. There was an unusual attentiveness to dialogue and performances that has allowed this to age much better than most. The comedy too was much dryer and more mature (and genuinely funny). The Bond 'formula' was still there of course, but rather than the usual rush from set-piece to set-piece, they gave themselves some room to breathe. It was a director's film for a change, rather than a producer's film.

[@LandersWorkshop]

Well said.

[@thomaschacko6320]

Very well put. This film was underrated by those conditioned by the Moore era. It did, however, receive far better reviews than “Octopussy.”

[@CODEDCAMS]

This scene actually foreshadows what James Bond will succeed in doing afterwards. Here, the blue missiles fired by Largo but blocked by Bond represent the two thermonuclear missiles hijacked by SPECTRE that Bond will eventually manage to get defused.

[@tebraizshahzad3364]

Lol. A master manipulator. Completely worked him and lulled Largo into a sense of false security.

[@Neville60001]

Fun fact: around the time this movie was being made, John Gardner (the writer for a series of Bond continuation novels) had intended for Bond and the villain of one upcoming novel to play a computer game (much like today's military battle simulation games, in particular the _Command and Conquer_ series) based on the battle of Waterloo, but the production company of this movie (Taliafilm II) nixed it, claiming that it would impact on this scene, so Gardner had to take it out. When he saw _NSNA_ , he was pissed off, and rightfully so; as he said in an interview in _Starlog_ , 'theirs (Taliafilm's) was merely a zap game.'

[@rickmaurer8726]

Explains why Gardner did the Battle of Bunker Hill rather than a more famous battle in his book. The villain's foible was always playing the winning side; hence Bond knows to fortify Bunker Hill as the British and defeat the American attempt to seize it. I suspect Bond would have played the French and totally done what Napoleon should have done in the battle.

[@dennisbarber4980]

ASMR scene all around!!!This is the one scene I've been searching for.🤗

[@randomobserver8168]

Still an interesting scene. Quintessentially 80s to introduce a video game, & the game's Cylon voice, vector graphics, primary colours, relatively high level of abstraction, and concentration on physical skills of eyesight, reaction time, and joystick/button manipulation are very of the era. That last being true even for period games that used raster imagery and had lower abstraction. On another level, it holds up. It may no longer be conceivable that Euro aristocrats would be quite so impressed by a video game, but the idea a rich businessman and oligarch might design one himself, indeed be able to do so, put it into some sort of antique-style furniture, and show it off to guests seems if anything more likely today. It's no longer novel enough to replace traditional casino games in a scene like this, hence it was far better to use Texas hold'em in Casino Royale, but if anything a scene like this is more plausible now that video gaming is so normal. The game itself is interesting- yes, visually primitive, with limited tactical options and no strategy as such, heavily physical as if a shooting game [Risk as a shooting game!], and yet structured at a high level of abstraction despite its simple premise. An interesting combination even now from a game concept POV. Plus both actors carry it off as if buying the premise. Not the best work of either, but Connery still knows his character and Brandauer put just the right amount of oil and ham into his.

I always saw it as Largo is clearly the better technical player and would win the standard country games.

Called out in the training games exercises earlier in the film.

And Connery at 52 is obviously older, but still really good looking, and unlike Moore around that time, he does nothing in the movie that a man that age in good shape couldn't really do.
