Spy Hunter

Game Info
A conversion of the arcade game, 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 limmo, or dropping bombs from a helicopter.

Start...149,780



Great game, but tough for high scores. There are only 6 available lives you can get no matter how high you score.

[theking21083]

52,435

[doubledown]

A little better...211,580



The game is so much easier with this little beauty:

[Mister VCS]

44,720

I would like to see a poll for the next weeks game!

This game is tough - is it better to slow down a bit once the timer has expired? I keep getting killed by the blue cars with tire slashers.

Highest so far is 55,300.

[darthkur]

I've always liked this one. Sure would be great to have the sit-down arcade model.

158,385



I'm having the best luck with the Super Action Controller. In fact it's perfect for this game.

[theking21083]

I'll get a poll up for next weeks game. I do take requests but nobody gives me any.

How about Centipede? It's pretty tough actually on setting 2 "Standard Play". That damned scorpion comes running across there right off the bat and never quits making for an ever flowing waterfalls of centipede segments.

The poll is up for next weeks game so vote now.

Don't hate the player, hate the game. Duncantoml has taken down our high scores almost every game this season, he is like some video game playing robot.

My camara's not working. Thought (more like hoped) it was the batteries, but after getting new ones, it still won't work. So it looks like I'm going to have to get a new camara when I can work it in.

Hello,

I know Im to late for the contest but seeing the score of 320,885 for SpyHunter I knew that I could be it ,,,so I fired it up last night and I got to 280,000 (didnt bother with exact score because I knew I didn't beat the record).

The game seemed to last along time I think it took me about 20 min's. I will post a Picture as soon as I break the record.

[theking21083]

That's good stuff. I hope that you can accomplish your goal.

[AJ_Maine_Man]

Thanks King,

It's fun for me to give it a go and see if I can beat it. I only had time for 1 game last night and scored around 240,000

man the civilian cars give me just about as much trouble as the villian car's.
