This James Bond video game was developed and published by Parker Brothers and was available on the SG-1000, Atari 2600, Atari 5200, Atari 8-bit, Commodore 64, and ColecoVision platforms.
This James Bond video game was the second James Bond video game following 'Shaken but Not Stirred' (1982) (VG).
This James Bond video game was first launched in the same 1983 year as official Bond movie 'Octopussy' (1983) and the unofficial Bond film 'Never Say Never Again' (1983).
The ''James Bond'' name has rarely if ever been the title of a 007 mission in print or in film but the ''James Bond'' name has been used numerous times as part of the title of multiple James Bond video-games. These include [in order]: James Bond 007 (1983), James Bond 007: A View to a Kill (1985), James Bond 007: Goldfinger (1986), Lord Bromley's Estate (1990), James Bond 007: The Stealth Affair (1990), James Bond: Q's Armoury (1990), James Bond 007 Action Pack (1990), The James Bond Collection (1991), James Bond Jr. (1992), James Bond 007: The Duel (1993), James Bond 007 (1998), From Russia with Love (2005), James Bond Trivia (2006), James Bond: Top Agent (2008), James Bond 007: Blood Stone (2010), James Bond: World of Espionage (2015) and partially Best of Bond Car Pack (2018). As such, in true ''multi-player'' video-game fashion, there have been multiple ''James Bond-named'' 007 video-games with the ''James Bond'' name in the title and this totals to about fifteen of them.
Three of the game levels in this James Bond video game represented each of the last three previous Bond movies at the time of 1983. These were: Game Level 2: 'The Spy Who Loved Me' (1977), Game Level 3: 'Moonraker' (1979) and Game Level 4: 'For Your Eyes Only' (1981). These three Bond movies had starred Roger Moore as Agent 007. The other game level was Game Level: 1: 'Diamonds are Forever' (1971) which had starred Sean Connery as Agent 007. In between these titles were two Roger Moore Bond movies which were not included as game levels in this James Bond video game. These were 'Live and Let Die' (1973) and 'The Man with the Golden Gun' (1974).
