James Pond: Underwater Agent

James Pond, also known as James Pond: Underwater Agent, is a platform video game developed by British video game developers Vectordean Ltd and Millennium Interactive and published by Millennium Interactive and Electronic Arts in 1990 for numerous home computers and consoles. The character was very popular and even appeared in some comic books of the time. The game was so successful that it spawned two sequels and a spin-off game. A nefarious supervillain named "Doctor Maybe" (a pun on the name of Dr. Julius No, the villain in Dr. No) has taken over the ruthless megacorporation Acme Oil Co. and is not only filling the oceans with radiation and toxic waste, but even threatening the entire world from his underwater lair. The protagonist of the story and player character of the game is an intelligent, mutant, anthropomorphic mudskipper who is named "James Pond" (after the legendary spy James Bond) and is hired by the British Secret Service to protect the oceans and take out the bad guys in underwater areas. He is also suave enough to seduce numerous attractive mermaids, some of whom act as double agents, as is customary with James Bond's love interests. The game parodies James Bond movies with levels that mimic their titles, with level names such as License to Blow (after Licence to Kill), A View to a Spill (after A View to a Kill), Leak and Let Die (after Live and Let Die) and From Three Mile Island with Love (after From Russia with Love).
