James Must Arrive At The Right Location To Catch Her As She Lands.
In The Second Section, James Must Help Stacey Sutton (Tanya Roberts) Escape From San Francisco City Hall, Which Is On Fire. Each Room Is Displayed From A Side-On Perspective.

In The Third And Final Section, James Must Collect The Code Numbers To Stop The Detonation Of Zorin’s (Christopher Walken) Bomb. Bond Runs Around The Mine, Avoiding Rockfalls And Long Drops.
