The Aquatic Games

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Aquatic Games was a video game, released by Millennium Software, with pseudo Olympic sports starring the video game character James Pond.

The game was an aquatic-themed parody of games like Konami's Track & Field. Due to the nature of its gameplay, Aquatic Games is something of an anomaly in the James Pond franchise, with all the other games in the series being side-viewed platform games. This possibly represented an attempt to spin the character off into other genres the way Nintendo had done with its mascot Mario.

Aquatic Games is also notable in that it was the last game in the series to be released for the Amiga A500. Though the next game (James Pond 3: Operation Starfish) also appeared on the Amiga, it was only compatible with the newer range of 32-bit Amigas which used the AGA chipset.
