I can't believe they ruined the legacy of the high quality, beloved video game, James Pond

(I have never played James Pond but it kinda looked bad and everyone I ever asked about it kinda shrugged)

@cwebber I played through most of the... Second one? Because it was in the bargain bin. It was fine, mildly frustrating. I have a little bit of fondness, but understand why it was never really popular.

@cwebber I vaguely remember playing it for 5 minutes on a demo unit (Megadrive, probably?) in a department store. Apparently didn't leave a big impression (Earthworm Jim was way cooler IIRC) 🤷
