In this episode of the RGDS podcast with the idea of Goin' Round Me Mate's House, Ric takes Kingy on a trip down Mega Drive Alley as he introduces Kingy to some lesser-known gems that he may have missed out on in attempt to peel Kingy away from his SNES loving ways.

In our latest episode Kingy and Drisky don their tuxedos and sup on their vodka Martinis, shaken not stirred and take a look through March 40th Anniversary of James Bond video games. 

Not only that It is also the 70th Anniversary in April  since James Bond was first introduced to the world in the book Casino Royale and October last year was the 60th Anniversary of the Bond films, so there is plenty of reasons to celebrate Bond.

So sit back and enjoy as we take you through 40 years of great gaming history with Bond.

here is the original tune, that Bond tune was based from an abandoned indian inspired musical in 1950...Monty Norman who was brought on to do dr no music and wrote the ursula andress song in dr no, but wasnt the sound they wanted so they brought in john barry last min....who took the tune and jazzed it up... https://youtu.be/g6EuzGhIyRQ
