Sega may have done what Nintendon’t but it turns out that what Nintendidn’t was shit their business down the pan by not making a weirdly off-brand adaptation of a film franchise about an assassin who smashes cocktails, smashes ladies and smashes the plans of megalomaniacs worldwide.
Yep, we come to a weird granddaddy here, a game that, all things being equal, should never have achieved the level of success and cultural cache it did - but we are where we are, so join the lads on a journey back to the late nineties, when it was apparently okay to release game adaptations of films two years after their cinema release.
