A very quick entry for a title which may well be vapourware, but was briefly mentioned in the news pages of Zzap Italia back in 1988.
7 Minutes To Midnight we believe was described by Zzap Italia as having a “Plot about a secret agent miniaturized to disable an atomic bomb from the inside”. But around 1988 was a time that Activision (or Mediagenic at that time) were going through a strange phase of cancelling everything and this well could have been scrapped early on.
Fabrizio Bartoloni oddly found an advert in Crash magazine from the same year which had the game on sale for the ZX Spectrum. Was this related (see scans)?
Early days, but we’d be surprised it was even ever started!
Watch this space!

Don’t know if it is related but this ad from page 34 of Crash issue 56, September 1988, says a game with the same title was available on Spectrum: https://issuu.com/astarothduke/docs/crash56_sep_1988
Could well be! Same year too, so i’ve added quickly. Thanks Fabrizio!
Hmm, the plot in your entry is still about an RPG….
That’s bloody strange – I remember saving it and refreshing the cache. Should be sorted now! :)
Plot is about a secret agent miniaturized to disable an atomic bomb from the inside, or so the article says.
Thanks Fabrizio – entry updated!
