Ground control to Major Pond

James Pond 3, the covert ops sequel to RoboCod you never knew existed, is faster and more technically sophisticated, yet failed to Take the Biscuit (TM, probably). Maybe the 007-cyborg-cop parody's expiry date had passed by 1993. Maybe the design mechanics are overly complicated, sabotaging its pick-up-and-play potential. I ruminate over the possibilities, mesmerised by Operation Starfish's tasty visuals.
