Bah Humbug!  I really feel like there should have been a James Bond game
available today.

Oddly enough, there aren't that many (any?) James Bond games available
for sale on Steam or GOG.* There really aren't that many James Bond
games available on PC, for that matter. Or in general. For such a
long-lasting and popular franchise, there are a lot fewer games than
you'd expect, and most of those were released on console.

But while I can't offer you a way to get a legally licensed copy, you
CAN play a PC James Bond game here:

That's almost as good, right? ;-)

Bah, a text game?!

* In fairness, I didn't do the most intensive search. There are a
couple of James Bond-related cosmetic expansions for other games,
though

Too bad there wasn't a PC port of Goldeneye. I know there are emulators, but still.
