About the game
From the back of the box: "James Bond has tracked the remarkable Solex Agitator, power source of the Golden Gun, to the home of his enemy, Scaramanga. You are lured into Scaramanga's fun house maze, where Scaramanga and the Agitator await you. The tension mounts as you try to escape from the maze with the Solex Agitator and return it to the free world!" A simple solitaire game where you venture through the maze of the funhouse -- find the Solex Agitator and find your way out of the funhouse before you are killed by Scaramanga or one of his traps. The random map changes with each play; a card placed in each room describes what Bond finds there. Encounters include Scaramanga and his henchman Nick Nack, a gallery of trigger happy mannequin's, and a sliding floor.
