GoldenEye: Rogue Agent, GameCube
Developed by EA Los Angeles and published by EA Games for GameCube, PlayStation 2 and XBox in 2004, GoldenEye: Rogue Agent is an ‘anomaly’ in the James Bond video game franchise. Described as “non-canon“, and more of a “what if…” kind of video game experiment, Rogue Agent unfortunately doesn’t have any connection between it and the classic 1997 N64 game called “GoldenEye“. This did actually lead to players calling out Electronic Arts for deceptive use of the “GoldenEye” name.
Ice Nine, Game Boy Advance
Ice Nine was one of the last first-person shooters released for the Game Boy Advance. It was developed by Torus Games and published by BAM! Entertainment in 2005, and it was originally going to be a tie-in with the 2003 film The Recruit. However, this fell through when the film failed commercially, but the plot of the game remains mostly unchanged.

Impossible Mission, Sega Master System
The Sega Master System conversion of Dennis Caswell‘s classic Impossible Mission is pretty damn good.
Impossible Mission, BBC Micro
US Gold and Epyx converted the classic Impossible Mission to the BBC Micro in 1986 and it was a reasonable success.
Impossible Mission, Commodore 64
Dennis Caswell‘s brilliant 1984 platform game, Impossible Mission, has lost little of its appeal over the decades. There is something so gloriously timeless about it, and the challenge it presents is difficult, but do-able.
