The Company (Domark)
____________________
License to Kill was released on PC on April 20, 1989 by a company named Domark
named after it's founders who's names were Dominic and Mark. The company no
longer exists now because it was brought out along with United States Gold &
Core design and became part of the Eidos video game company which still exists
today. In the lower left corner you can see a company named "Quixel". They were
the developer. If you have any information about them please contact me. The
contact details are at the very end of this guide.

Become James Bond in his latest adventure and destroy the evil drug smuggler
Sanchez. Guide 007 as he fights it out on Cray Cay, over Miami bay and
underwater on his way to the final confrontation in 18-wheel oil tankers.
Defeat Sanchez and give Bond what he wants most. REVENGE.
On every level, you'll have a control panel on the right hand side of the
screen. You'll always be shown the number of lives you have left, and you'll
also see important information about the level you're playing - number of
bullets, amount of oxygen, time remaining, etc. At certain times, a reticle
will appear telling you to jump, shoot, etc. Press "Fire" to do this. (Space
Bar)
Once you have mastered each scene, improve your score by going round again -
but this time it will be much harder.
Scene One:
Bond and his partner, Felix Leither, swoop low in their helicopter over Cray
Cay to prevent Sanchez from escaping in his jeep. Avoid the obstacles (Of
varying height) and shoot out the gun implacements as you gun down the jeep.
Remember, the faster you fly, the lower you go! The control panel shows how
much your helicopter is damaged and how high you're flying.

of Sanchez' henchmen have been deployed to ambush you. Your wits and your
15-shot Beretta can make the difference! Duck and shoot your way through while
collecting extra magazines from the gunmen you take out. Watch out for the oil
barrels as they explode after four direct hits. The control panel shows how
many hits you've taken. (Five hits is worth a life) and how many
magazines/bullets you have.

divers (and get their harpoons) by pressing the space bar/joystick button when
you run into them. Destroy the drug caches for a bonus. When the seaplane

You start off in a helicopter and there is a jeep on the run. There will be
lots of buildings shooting at you in this level but they shouldn't cause much
damage. When the level starts off it's recommended to gain as much altitude as
possible (Down Arrow) and turn to the left. Usually, if you don't, 5-10 bullets
go into your helicopter. You can destroy the jeep if you want. If you do, I
believe it makes the 2nd level a LOT easier. Do your best to dodge the enemy
fire. When you reach the end of the level turn to the right, wait for a white
box with JUMP on it to appear and press Space Bar. END OF MISSION.
__________
Drug Busters II
__________
If you destroyed the jeep on the first mission, it's gone in this level and
makes it a lot easier. On the right menu, if you see two or three bullet holes
that means you've been shot two or three times. If you are shot five times by
the enemy you lose. My strategy in this level is just to run and dodge the
bullets as best as you can. When you reach a wall of barrels shoot a barrel
five times and it will blow up. Cross the street, kill the bad guys at the
helicopter if you want and enter the helicopter from the right. I've noticed
that if you enter it from the left the mission does not end.

Let's go fishing!
_________________
You're back in the helicopter and Sanchez is escaping in his private plane. You
have two minutes to lower yourself to the tail of the plane and hook a rope
onto the tail. If you unsure if you are above the tail and are allowed to tie
the rope around, look for a small red box. When you do see a small red box,
press Space Bar and Bond will automatically pull the rope around the tail and
"reel him in" as Felix Leiter put it in the movie. You will now parachute into
the sea.
_________________
Water-ski
_________________
You are in the sea now. Here's basically what you need to do. Kill an enemy
diver, take his harpoon gun, and shoot it at the landing gear of the plane and
go waterskiing to the plane. Note: If you have beaten the game and are playing
the game for the 2nd time in a row people in the boat will be shooting at you
with automatic sub-machine guns. So, stay near a raft and wait until a diver
dives into the water. When you get near a diver, press space bar and you'll get
his harpoon gun and a spear. Press the up arrow to dive underwater and catch up
with the plane. Note that you can only swim underwater for about five seconds.
When you get to the plane you will only be able to see the end of it. Anyway,
get your harpoon ready and fire at the landing gear. Now the divers and boat
will be gone and you will have to control Bond and dodge the obstacles in your
way. The obsatcles are rocks and some kind of yellow raft. If you crash into
them you lose a life and have to do the level over again.
___________
Tanker Attack
___________
In my opinion, for a final level this is pretty easy. Currently, you are
controlling your friend Pam's Cessna and you have to jump down on the oil
tanker and hijack it. The hijacking happens automatically. Note that when you
hijack the oil tanker you start to slowly slow down. When you hit 0 MPH you
lose the mission. What you have to do in this level is destroy all the oil
tankers and destroy all the jeeps. My advice for the jeeps is just run them
over. They'll blow up automatically. As for the oil tankers, drive straight and
hit the right or left arrow rapidly. The controls are very sluggish in this
level. Be careful not to go off the road or you will recieve damage, and lots
of it. If the driver compartment detaches from the drug compartment you'll have
to destroy that part of the truck too. My advice here is just ram the oil
tankers and if they get behind you hit the brakes and they should ram into you,
and blow up. You probably won't lose much health. The final oil tanker contains
Sanchez and when you finally blow up the final oil tanker just keep driving
along until the speedometer reaches zero.

Questions
_________
Q: How the heck do I quit out of the game?
A: Usually in the late 80s games booted up when the computer booted up meaning
that you had to put the floppy disk in and then boot up the computer. So
basically since you don't do this with modern PCs you can just press Ctrl + Alt
+ Delete. For the computer newbies you hold down Ctrl, hold down Alt, hold down
Delete, and release them all at the same time. If this fails, just restart the
computer and the computer will normally start up.
Q: I don't have any of the hardware listed on the system requirments. Will my
computer run this game?
A: Yes it should. Plus, since most computer today are over 2.0 GHz? (2000 MHz)
you'll think that it'll run fast as hell. For the computer newbies run means
the game will go very quickly. Since most computers back in the '89 were around
15-25 MHz and most computers are 2000+ MHz you would think so. It seems that
the game sets it's own speed. Meaning that when it plays it sets your computer
a certain speed so it doesn't play extremely fast.

and tell me and I will respond as quickly as possible and send an update to
GameFAQs.
