For me, I found the arcade, video games and computer screens, along with all their dinky sound effects, all fit in their era, which is early 80's. The holographic type computer screen with its artificial intelligence reminded me of the Battlestar Cylon voice. It's fascinating to see technology increase in each Bond film, and some stuff we don't even have yet--like watch lasers that have a tiny power source that they can still cut through metal in seconds.
Actually I was quite impressed with the fighter jet & missile special effects, you can tell Irvin was involved in the movie as it sort of resembled the Snow Speeder scene from Star Wars - The Empire Strikes Back.
The music was horribly dated though, this I noticed immediately. The other Bond films have some pretty timeless music, even throughout.
