Reception
[edit]Steve Crow and William A. Barton did a point/counterpoint review of Thrilling Locations in Space Gamer No. 76.[1] Crow commented that "Thrilling Locations is an excellent buy, not only for James Bond 007 players but for those who play Top Secret, Mercenaries, Spies & Private Eyes, or any other secret-agent RPG."[1] Barton commented that "Maybe I just expect too much of Victory Games, but Thrilling Locations is a disappointment."[1]
Bob Neville reviewed Thrilling Locations for White Dwarf #71, giving it an overall rating of 7 out of 10, and stated that "On the whole, I have very few quibbles about this supplement and would whole-heartedly recommend it to other Bond GMs."[2]
