Beta Version Dam DAM ßETA Objectives Destroy Military Truck Obtain Bungee Equipment Obtain Boat Key and of course the objectives we see today.

Possibly a level that most questions are asked about. We are lead to believe that it was majorly changed during development. Though the basic shape stayed the same. Things were cut out.

The Locked Door: At The very beginning there is a locked door. It's supposed (so I hear) to keep people from entering the Dam. (They did a good job) Sarcasm there Folks. There is obviously nothing behind it, I haven't got a screenshot but who cares? Everybody has seen it. There was no apparent purpose for it. My theory is that in the beginning cut scene, Bond would have jumped off the Truck whilst it was coming through the gate. Although in the movie, Bond started right by the gate, it's obvious that that would be a little too easy. We have no reason not to believe that the movie makers didn't imagine that James Bond had sneaked accross a heavily guarded Dam after jumping out of a truck.

Not many people think about this but
The Sniper Rifle:
It's only purpose is to let us see the island. Or is it? There is no other purpose for it, but perhaps RARE wanted us to find it...
Apart from the fact that Dam should be a stealthy level. It almost makes the reservoir the perfect place to use it. Or perhaps it's just to let us have a feel of the gun.

The Truck: Actually it's there so we can destroy it. It was once an objective to destroy it, have you noticed the blue trapdoor in the guardhouse? You would have got mines there, there are Gameshark codes to get other veichles instead of the Truck. I can only remember the Action Replay one, here it is. 801D00C7 00yy 801D00C9 00xx all the yy's and xx's are on my Action Replay modifier page. On the left is a screen of the boat you could have possibly got to the island on.

The Blue Trapdoor: Where you got the mines from.

The Island:
On the right is a pic I made of the island. You had to go across (on a boat which you needed to obtain a key for..) More about that later. There was an alarm, bungee equipment and possibly a Magnum and a Taser across there (the weapons may not have been bcause of all the hype about the taser). The tower has been redesigned since the decision not to go there. I have heard that the drone gun is there to be destroyed, so it couldn't shoot you out of the air after you take the plane from Runway. But realising that they weren't supposed to take the plane anyway, it got cut out.

The Doors at the end of the Dam: They are identical to the doors near the tank on runway. They couldn't be connected coz of the height.

The boat Key: Which would have been obtained from the beige guy in the guardhouse. That is the origianal reason why he is there. However unknowing the words may be, there is no other feesible reason to his being there. Another screenshot has been made, with Bond saying 'I'm sorry it had to come to this'. It had a different guy in it too so it's obvious it's fake. Thanks to Goldeneye 64 Home for the pic.

Thanks to Goldeneye 64 Home for the rest of these pics. Move your mouse over each to view explinations of them.     

Overall the Dam level was changed most because RARE decided that it was too complicated for a first level by far. And with the drone gun it got too hyped.

The Q Branch XVI
	There were a few things mention in Q's brief in Dam, the piton gun being the main thing. Of course, Bond couldn't have got down the Dam without a bungee rope
