James Bond 007, published by Parker Brothers in 1983, puts the player in the shoes of cinema's most famous secret agent for a series of action-and-reflex missions not based on any particular film, but on a generic idea of the character designed to work as an original video game with the brand as its hook. It's part of the wave of film and literary licenses Parker Brothers brought to the 2600 in those years. Without the narrative depth the brand suggests, it functions as just one more arcade action game, whose biggest appeal at the time was simply the chance to play 'as' James Bond on the living room's most popular console.
