You know something? I fucking love James Pond.
James Pond: Underwater Agent on the Amiga...classic.
James Pond 2: Codename Robocod...classic (the GBA, DS, PSX and PS2 versions are fucking shit seeing they have different levels) and on the surface a Mario clone did so much more and introduced a lot of platforming elements that remain today.
James Pond 3: Operation Starfish..originally Splash Gordon...well not classic but pretty damn good anyway.
Aquatic Games...well ok maybe not very good.
Still I'll have a lot of space in my heart for the original Amiga versions of the first two games..anyway after the shitness of the crappy GBA/NDS version that had shitty level design and themes that didn't fit comes a all new James Pond game...yay...I think?
James Pond in the Deathly Shallows...that is a bad title
It has nothing to do with Harry Potter...no elements whatsoever. Apparently its really awful and nothing like any of the original games. Gameware developed it, I hate them and I intend to kill them. Also I swear to god Apple devices are killing gaming for them to just allow cheap shit like this to use existing game franchises and just release sub-homebrew worthy titles for shittly cheap prices. It kills the worth of games.

James Pond in the Deathly Shallows...that is a bad title
QUOTE said:James Pond, one of the colourful cast of characters that dominated the early 90s of gaming, has returned to the gaming stage in a brand new game on iOS: James Pond in the Deathly Shallows.
While the groan-worthy title might seem another quick and easy nudge to the Harry Potter franchise, it's not without precedent. The character was originally created as a fishy riff on James Bond when his first game was published by EA back in 1990. The sequel was subtitled Robocod and incased the secret agent in a stretchable metallic body, while the third game was a nod to Flash Gordon.
Deathly Shallows returns him to his secret agent guise and going up against old foe Doctor Maybe, and returns to the underwater sections from the first game.
James Pond in the Deathly Shallows is available from the App Store for 59p.
