The Aquatic Games Starring James Pond and the Aquabats, also known as The Super Aquatic Games Starring the Aquabats on the SNES, is a 1992 sports video game developed by Vectordean and published by Millennium Interactive. It featured pseudo- Olympic sports starring the video game character James Pond, better known for his series of side-scrolling platform games. It was the last game to be released for the Amiga A500. Though the next game ( James Pond 3: Operation Starfish) also appeared on the Amiga, it was only compatible with the newer range of 32-bit Amigas (such as the A1200) which used the AGA chipset.
The Aquatic Games Starring James Pond and the Aquabats is an arcade sports game. The game is an aquatic-themed parody of games like Konami's Track & Field.
The game contains classical music pieces Ode to Joy (from Beethoven's 9th) in the title screen and Schubert's fish song " Die Forelle" during certain events. The rest of the music is composed by Richard Joseph.
GamePro gave the SNES version a generally positive review. They commented that the simplistic gameplay, cartoony graphics, and humorous sound effects make it a game that younger players would enjoy, while older players would find it unappealing. [2]
In contrast, Classic Game Room's Mark Bussler reviewed it negatively as "a very half-baked game at best". He made an exception to the Feeding Time mini-game, "which would have made a good Atari 2600 game back in the day". [3]
