Slideshow: A History of James Bond in 20 Games

Licensed to play

As the latest James Bond game - 007 Legends - shoots its way to shop shelves this week ahead of Skyfall's release on 26 October, we decided jump aboard the nostalgia train with a look back at Bond-theme games from yesteryear.

007 Legends

Get bent!

Since the very first virtual 007 adventure - the Parker Brother's James Bond 007 - gamers have seen almost the same number of related videogames hit the market as the total number of films in the history of the franchise.

Here's a collection of them.

Re: Been reading GamesTM, I see.

Or... maybe we came up with the idea all by ourselves, based on the fact there's a new game out this week and a new film out next week... *shock* shirley not?

I hardly thought looking back at all the old Bond videogames would be the most original of ideas this month, but I assure you it wasn't a spur of the moment thing based on 'cribbing' content from other sites. It's merely logic.

I glanced at the GamesTM article you're on about after reading your comment just now and aside from the fact we both talk about retro Bond games, these couldn't be more different if they tried. What am I missing?

Re: James Pond???

There also was a sequel as far as I remember. Very good game.

I also remember hating the guts of both Licence to Kill and The Spy Who Loved Me while loving them to death. They were damn hard. BAD SHOW, JAMES!
