Just wondering. As far as you can remember, what was the first James Bond videogame you can recall playing. And what made you choose it (friend suggestion, random selection, ...)

Mine was Agent Under Fire. My dad told me that if I am such a Bond fan, I should try the games too and he showed it to me back in 2004. It was also first videogame played on my new PS2.


What about you?

[DamnCoffee]

Mine was Tomorrow Never Dies, bloody brilliant game!

[Ellis Quarterman]

ok ok - sit around childeren and i shall tell u a tale, My First Bond game was Goldeneye 007 on the N64, My big brother had one - i must have been about five or six and he was gonna chuck it out and i asked him about it and he gave it to me, first video game i ever played ( before my gameboy craze when i was 5 )
Quite A while back since i'm 14 years old now

[Joey Bond]

Tomorrow Never Dies on the Playstation. Shortly after I got into Bond, I found the game so I brought it. As MHarkin said, bloody brilliant game!

Note: I suck at games (still do) and had to use cheat codes

[oatesy]

Licence to Kill on cassette tape on my Commodore 64. Or it could have been The Spy Who Loved Me also on my C64, which was a fairly rubbish Spyhunter clone if that was first (although I don't think so)

[sharpshooter]

GoldenEye 007.

[Union Bond]

Goldeneye. After that I got The World is Not Enough and since then haven't bought a game. They have all seemed to let the series down after Goldeneye, but QoS looks very good.

[Qwerty]

GoldenEye. And it's still the best.

[[dark]]

GoldenEye. And it's still the best.

Amen.

No worries, I am 14 too! I will turn 15 this Christmas

GoldenEye 64! I played this game before I had even seen a Bond film. Then, I went to Blockbuster and rented GE on VHS...this was in '97 or '98.

[Jaws0178]

Goldeneye for 64 and I still have both the game and the 64, and hey what is VHS

[Sharpe]

goldeneye back when it was released. And this game was mindblowing at the time - incredible graphics, gameplay etc. The bond theme was icing on the cake as I always loved james bond - especially goldeneye at the time. The soundtrack was also fantastic and one i still listen to today.

Also, the game still just feels right. Other games just seem clunky or, i dont know...there's something about GE's feel that makes it the best game in my opinion. It set the bar very high for bond games and i think it's the sole reason people still pay attention to bond games today.

Since then i've played from russia with love, everything or nothing, nightfire, world is not enough, and the demo of quantum of solace. None of them approach the greatness of goldeneye - but I very much enjoyed from russia with love, nightfire and world is not enough were a bit rubbish, and quantum of solace seems fairly decent from the demo...so we shall see.

[agentjamesbond007]

and hey what is VHS

VHS is VIDEO HOME SYSTEM; the old cassette tapes that movies were recorded onto back in the 1990's

looks somewhat like this

Mine was James Bond, 007 on Game Boy. I remember it started in China as a tutorial level and set up the girl for the story, and then M sent you to Kurdistan to find a missing 003. 003 told you to go to Morocco, where you had to get into the private gaming suite at the casino, and solve a puzzle invovling bartering to gain access to catacombs under the city. You got kidnapped, dropped in the desert and left to die, but found your way to an air force base and were taken to Tibet, where you let yourself be caught and taken to a secret base where you fought Oddjob and learned of a renegade Russian general who was supplying weapons to the Middle East. You then went back Kurdistan and broke into a rebel camp to learn of the general's loction, which was in a contaminated site in Russia. You defeated Jaws with a magnet and then got into the general's base. You killed him with a rocket launcher because he was in this really big powered suit of armour, and then you had to defuse four or five nuclear warheads while evading bullets and lasers.

I remember that I threw the game out. Not because I didn't like it - it was my favourite - but because I remember one weekend my brother and I were at home and we had to go with my dad to a job site. So we took our Game Boys, and my brother was playing James Bond and asked from the back seat "How do you kill the policemen?" (it was on the first visit to Kurdistan; the rebels had taken over and were the police), and Dad wasn't very impressed with what we were playing. When we got back home I played through it one last time and then crept down stairs and threw it out because I was afraid Dad would tell me Mum and I'd be in trouble for playing violent games without them saying I could. Probably one of the stupidest things I'd ever done.

It was either 'A View To A Kill' on Commandore 64 or 'Live and Let Die' on Atari (I forgot what model the Atari was). So my first Bond gaming experience wasn't on these new fancy consoles, you kidz seem to have played your first Bond games.

May I also note that it feels weird to hear that someone doesn't know what a vhs is. I feel old and I'm only 23!!!!

Anyway, the 'A View To A Kill' was a side-rolling adventure that mostly took place in caverns. But boy, didn't it have a great soundtrack for an old game. The 'Live And Let Die' game was a spy-hunter like boat game, where you had to dodge fuel barrels, mines and enemy boats. I believe I never finished neither of those games. Don't even thinks that there's a single Atari(the console) or Commandore 64 game that I would've finished.

[LazyAmerican24]

The 1st Bond game I ever played was Goldeneye, I wasn't too good at it. I've played
Goldeneye
Agent Under Fire
Nightfire
Rogue Agent
Everything or nothing
and
From Russia with love

[eddychaput]

Goldeneye on the N64, like most people here on the boards. My friends and I must have fried our brains abusing the multiplayer levels. Oh, the afternoons we wasted shooting ourselves as we played as Oddjob, Jaws and the Roger Moore Bond...

[Ultraussie (Jordan.adams)]

First bond game: EON. awesome.

[sorking]

Licence to Kill on the ZX Spectrum. Man, I feel old...

[SilencedPPK]

The first video game console that our family was allowed to get was the N64. The ONLY game I wanted at the time, was Goldeneye. First Bond video game that I have ever played. About five years ago, I gave my N64 and all the games to a family that wasn't as blessed as me. Since then, I have been missing Goldeneye, and also The World Is Not Enough, so I went and bought a new one, with both of those games. When I play them, I feel like a kid again. And it also floods a bunch of memories. I have played and beat every James Bond game since Goldeneye, and will continue to do so!

[SolidWaffle]

Goldeneye 007. My brother (5 years older than me) got an N64 for his birthday or Chanukah (can't recall which, they overlap sometimes). I was like 6 or 7. (I'm 16 now.) It was amazing. Yet I didn't get the full experience because my brother never played multiplayer, it just wasn't his thing. Perfect Dark though, for anyone that has played it, is similar but even better game.

[Se7en]

Mine is Goldeneye for N64. I remember i would spend hours playing that game. Man, that was a great game now that i think about it.

[Jose]

Goldeneye on the N64. It was pretty sweet for its time, and today too!

They should have left in the all Bonds option.

[LazyAmerican24]

They were going to until Timothy Dalton was a douche about and they had those legal hang-ups from what I've heard

[PlayItBogart]

Goldeneye.

After that, James Bond 007 for Game Boy.

[Blonde Bond]

Licence to Kill on the ZX Spectrum. Man, I feel old...

Me too mate. Me too. Seems like everyone expect maybe few of us have started with Goldeneye 64, which still clouds their judgement on how a Bond Game should be. It was okay. But I've played better Bond Games than that one.

Everyone under..heck, even over 20 seem to think Goldeneye 64 was and is the 'chit'.

[agentjamesbond007]

I see most people have been playing Goldeneye '64. Was it that popular back then?

[_JW_]

Indeed it was.

My first Bond game was James Bond: The Duel for the Sega Genesis.

[YouKnowTheName]

GoldenEye. All other Bond games pale in comparison.

Seriously. I fired it up again a month ago, and it still urinates on anything EA ever produced (and Treyarch, come to think of it)
