The Robocod sequel, far broader, smoother and funnier than the first. Truly charming, full of little secrets, one of the console's solid platformers.

Description
James Pond II Codename Robocod explores a factory by stretching infinitely in this EA Mega Drive platformer. Published by Electronic Arts, released in Japan and Korea in November 1991. Comic platformer with James Pond stretching vertically, varied Santa's factory levels.
The Japanese/Korean edition of James Pond II is the regional pressing of the Vectordean/Millennium game, distributed by EA Japan and SKC Soft in Korea. Its collector value comes from the geographic rarity of this Western UK game on the Japanese Megadrive and from the fact that the SKC Soft pressings remain particularly hard to track down.
Is James Pond II still worth playing in 2026?
