The James Bond video game series is as lucrative as the main film series but not every planned game has seen the light of day so for this post i'm going to tell you all about some of the 007 games that got cancelled or came out under a different title.
Ocotopussy
This was a very short lived video game since was planned for the Atari 2600 and Mattel Intellivision it was cancelled shortly after it was announced by Parker Brothers from what i can gather the game was to follow the plot of the film but apart from the above picture there's no pictures for the game anywhere on the internet.
Tomorrow Never Dies: The Mission Continues
Now this is a strange one because while there was a game based on Tomorrow Never Dies if you watched the VHS version of the film you were treated to a trailer featuring Desmond Llewelyn for a game called Tomorrow Never Dies: The Mission Continues and would have been set after the events of the film.
What makes it even stranger is the fact that some of the levels from Continues were actually featured as levels in the final game those being the ski slope opener and one of the car levels but from the video we can see what looks like a Thunderball inspired underwater level you can find this video on youtube if you want to see more.
Goldeneye 007
Now i know what you thinking and yes there was a game called Goldeneye 007 which got released but what you didn't know was there was also to be a racing game with the same name which was due to be released for the Virtual Boy and unlike Octopussy there was an image released.
But that wasn't the only Goldeneye 007 game to be cancelled tho as there was plans for a remake dating back to the year 2008 and was due to land on the Xbox 360 and Xbox Live Arcade but due to disagreements over the license the game never got made.

The World Is Not Enough
Yes bond fans there really was going to be a game based on The World Is Not Enough and sadly not enough information for this game can be found so all i know for sure is it was cancelled in 2001 because EA thought to much time had passed and instead chose to make Agent Under Fire there was a game based on the film but this wasn't it
Casino Royale
Now like most of the game in this post there are some screen shots of the game and like most of these games there's also a reason why this game was cancelled since the game was 15% EA thought that they might not be able to make the November 2006 release and instead chose to cancel the game the only screen shots that survive are of Venice but it's not all doom and gloom tho as story elements from this game can be found in the terrible game version of Quantum Of Solace.
