The Complete History of James Bond Games

James Bond, the iconic spy created by Ian Fleming, has a rich history extending beyond his literary origins into various media, including a film series spanning over 60 years and a video game legacy stretching back more than 40 years. While Bond's video game history may not be as extensive as his cinematic one, it is still significant, predating even the Super Mario series. The very first James Bond game, "Shaken But Not Stirred," was released in 1982 for the ZX Spectrum. Developed by Richard Shepard Software, it was a text adventure. However, it was not an officially licensed Bond game, as Parker Brothers had already secured the rights. This led to the game being reissued as "Super Spy."
