Excerpt from Genesis Game Guide by The Scribe

NAME:             James Pond series (3 titles)
AUTHOR/VENDOR:    Millenium/Vectordean/Electronic Arts
RELEASED:         various
TYPE:             Platform
LANGUAGE:         English

PREMISE:          A tongue-in-cheek tribute to the James Bond films from
                  one of the better British programming houses.  Help
                  secret agent James Pond as he battles the wits and many
                  minions of the evil Dr. Maybe.

IMPRESSIONS:      Starts out mediocre, gets better as it goes, and by the
                  time you get to the third game the series is actually
                  quite enjoyable.

VARIATIONS:       James Pond - Underwater Agent (1990)
                  James Pond 2 - Robocod (1991)
                  James Pond 3 - Operation Starfish (1993)

I haven't played the first one but the other three games (I'm counting Aquatic Games) in the series were a lot of fun!

james pond 2 is a certainly a nice playable game. the ability to raise to the ceiling and grab it sticks out. the music gets a bit annoying, but otherwise a sound game.

The first one(james Pond 1!) is however in my opinion not as good.it goes for the simple logic puzzles so often found in amiga games(although i loved my amiga) these get on you nerves when they become mazelike and boring.

I own a copy of James Pond 3 and have to say its as great as I expected. The simple graphics are all just platforms and I knew this is why the gameplay would be excellent.
Among hundreds of platformers James Pond 3 must be the most playable.
