The very first James Pond, a cute aquatic platformer by Millennium. Charming for its offbeat tone, technically dated but lovely for nostalgics.

James Pond - Underwater Agent (Mega Drive) price, value & rarity
Is James Pond - Underwater Agent still worth playing in 2026?
An original platformer from Electronic Arts, James Pond - Underwater Agent has you play a spy fish roaming the seabeds to foil polluters and save wildlife. The aquatic concept, the punning humour and the underwater exploration give a likeable identity to gameplay that is sometimes slow and dated. The production stays modest next to the series' sequels. For a fan of offbeat retro platforming or someone curious about James Pond's beginnings, the title keeps a quaint charm and an above all heritage interest.
