"James Bond 007" is a Game Boy video game, starring Ian Fleming's secret agent, James Bond. Released in 1997, and capitalising on the success of the previous year's game "GoldenEye 007" for Nintendo 64, the game features an original story mixing together characters from multiple James Bond films, from Oddjob to Jaws. Unlike the previous Bond game, this title was of the adventure genre, viewed from a top-down perspective. It also incorporated gambling mini-games such as Baccarat and Blackjack.
