Shaken, Not Stirred: The Q Branch's Guide to James Bond 007 Pinball

James Bond 007 brings George Gomez's career full circle. The layout and some rules of the game heavily resemble his design debut in Corvette, a personal favorite game of mine, but after 30 years of video game and pinball development, this game perfectly demonstrates his evolution as a designer.
