Game History - Spy Hunter - 1984
Originating in the arcades, Spy Hunter is a driving action game played from an
overhead point of view. Your car is equipped with machine guns to help you get
past the numerous enemies out on the road (be careful not to shoot any civilians,
though!) Occasionally you will come across a weapons van, and if you drive into
the back of the van your car becomes equipped with a second weapon (such as smoke
screen, oil slick, or missiles). At several points the road splits and you can
enter a boathouse which transforms your car into a boat temporarily. If you drive
far enough the seasons change as well (watch out for icy conditions during
winter!). The enemy cars will do anything to stop you, including running you off
the road, firing guns from the back of a limo, or dropping bombs from a
helicopter.
