- 1986 April, Julian Rignall, “All the Little Extra Bits”, in Crash, number 27:
- The other game in the package is the official adventure of the film The Neverending Story. Again, the original version was a multiloader, although this time the game came in four chunks. The 128 version is another single load program, which makes it far more enjoyable to play.
- 1990 December, Jonathan Davies, “The YS Complete Guide to Film and TV Licences”, in Your Sinclair, number 60:
- What those first games had though, which Licence To Kill doesn't, is a reasonable level of originality. They were multiloaders with several very different (if slightly crap) levels, while this one is more of a vertically-scrolling shoot-'em-up with very minor differences between levels.
