| Elevator Action | Taito (Micronics) | 1985 | Good arcade conversion of a nice and "different" action game. Your goal is to obtain documents hidden behind red doors and then make it to the basement of each building to leave it. Secret agents try to stop kill you and you have to avoid or shoot them. As the title implies, elevators are the main game element here. You have to make extensive use of them to make your way through the building. Simple to understand and hard to master. Nice gameplay and interesting level design. A negative point might be that there is only one enemy type in the whole game.***This is a multi directional, scroll-type spy-action game that is a blast from the past. Control a spy and sneak alone into a building to steal the secret papers hidden there. Use a pistol, kicks, an elevator and even the lights to take out the building's guards. The gun-fighting action is full of thrills. Players will need speed and timing to get on the elevators, move between floors, steal the secret papers and escape from the basement parking lot. | labelimagesubject |
| Spy vs. Spy | Kemco | 1986 | Spy vs. Spy features a pretty unique gameplay. Collect all items in a large embassy building with several rooms and make your way to the exit. Problem is that each item exists only once per level and when the other spy obtains such an item you have to get it from him. This you can do by either fighting him directly or placing traps on doors or furniture. The game runs in split-screen mode, so yo can observe every move the other spy makes.Playing against the CPU is only half fun. The matches against human opponents however are still very enjoyable. Graphically the game is no improvement over the 8-bit homecomputer versions. The music is very catchy, but also a bit repetitive.***2 players simultaneous competitive. | labelimageminimize |
| Nangoku Shirei!! Spy vs. Spy | Kemco | 1987 | Published only in Japan. Was to be released in the USA as [i]Spy vs Spy: The Island Caper[/i] ([i]Spy vs Spy 2[/i]). That version was canceled. A reproduction version of the planned US release was created.***A pointless sequel to the first [game=#8239]Spy vs. Spy[/game] game. The first game was quite fun, because of the original gameplay. The sequel has similar gameplay. The first spy who collects all parts of a missile wins a round. You can kill your opponent in fights or by cleverly hidden traps. The graphics are slightly better than in the original game but sadly is not fun anymore. Controls are confusing and the game lacks motivational content. Maybe its more fun with two players but even then I would prefer the prequel. | labelimageminimize |
