Slow on the draw and slow to mature. ..but live long enough and grow wise enough and your lightning bolts are almost unstoppable. The Valley is a real-lime game of adventure and survival. You may choose one of five character types to be your personal 'extension of self to battle and pit your wits against a number of monsters. Find treasure, fight a Thunder-Lizard in the arid deserts of ihe Valley, conquer a Kraken in the lakes surrounding the dread Temples of Y'Nagioth or cauterise a Wraith in the Black Tower. In fact, live out the fantasies you've only dared dream about. BUT BEWARL. .more die than live to tell the tale. The Valley runs in a 48K Spectrum (a I6K version will be available shortly) and makes full usage of the excellent colour and graphics capability of the machine. As you battle your way up the ratings your character can be saved onto tape, to re- enter the Valley another day — if you dare!

    ELEMENTOS DE ACTUALIDAD Y MODA EN LAS PELÍCULAS DE JAMES BOND (I) * BRUSCOLOTTI PÉREZ , Fabio [email protected] Fecha de recepción: 17 de octubre de 2014 Fecha de aceptación: 3 de noviembre de 2014 Resumen: Este trabajo está orientado a ciertos aspectos como son los elementos de actualidad y moda en las películas de James Bond. Estos aspectos son elementos que no se suelen introducir en una crítica cinematográfica normal, y es por eso que he decidido centrarme en ellos ya que estos también caracterizan a la saga más larga y exitosa a lo largo de la historia del panorama del cine internacional. James Bond es un agente británico que pertenece a una serie de agentes, los doble cero, que poseen una licencia para matar. Al principio Bond viste de modistos ingleses, principalmente Anthony Sinclair, conduce coches ingleses (Aston Martin, Bentley, Jaguars o Rolls Royce) y bebe copas que estaban de moda en aquella época (Vodka-Martini agitado pero no revuelto -Kangaroo cocktail). En cambio, a lo largo de la saga Bond dejará de ser simplemente una adaptación de los libros de Ian Flemming, combinada con otros elementos de la actualidad, a ser un referente de innovación tecnológica y estilística, no solo en técnicas cinematográficas como son el caso de sus presentaciones sino también en aparatos novedosos o que todavía no han salido al mercado y un reflejo del panorama político y social británico en el extranjero. Estos últimos elementos son los que vamos a analizar. Es decir, el reflejo del panorama político británico, las nuevas tendencias de la ropa que visten los diferentes Bond, las chicas Bond, y algún malvado, los coches y algún que otro medio de transporte así como los movimientos de los sesenta, setenta, ochenta, noventa y las dos primeras décadas del siglo veintiuno y la banda sonora de las películas.
