 James Bond games - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is the first game based on the 007 franchise in which the player does not take on the role of James Bond himself, but rather an aspiring 00 Agent recruited by Auric Goldfinger, the villain from the film and novel Goldfinger.
Since 1983 there have been numerous video games based on the official films, Ian Fleming's novels, and even original scripts created by the developer or publisher of the game.
Although James Bond is known for his use of the Walther PPK and Walther P99 pistols in the books and films, the video games often change the name of the guns to avoid possible copyright problems.

 Eye - Veronica Bailey - 05.12.05
Erno Goldfinger was a modernist architectural figure writ large: the titular villain in the Ian Fleming novel was reputedly based on him, and his Trellick Tower, a soaring brutalist travesty, was denounced by the British public, some of whom believed it actually caused its inhabitants to fall into violent crime.
Veronica Bailey has taken a group of abstract photos of pages of books in Goldfinger and his companion Ursula Blackwell's library, and initially seems disinterested in her subject's dynamism.
Yet there are connections: Trellick Tower, for instance, exposes its structure as Bailey does with the books (her view of them is contrary to the one we would normally care to see).
