I wish the enemies didnt come from the top of the screen so fast. It throws off the pace of the game. The arcade gives the player a bit more time to react. Still a decent port👍
I adored this game in the arcade. I also loved the Coleco port until a kid "borrowed" it from me in exchange for Star Trek and never gave it back. Watching footage of that version, it looks like it's a lot slower and more manageable. I'm pretty sure it would still be enjoyable. From the little I've played of the NES version, I'd say I want to love it but agree that it is too frustrating to be fun. I'm sure I'll still pick it up eventually.
I agree that it’s way too easy to change speeds in this game. I’ve read that the Colecovision port of Spy Hunter is easier to control, but I’ve never played it. Merry Christmas!!
Merry Christmas everyone ⛄
Merry Christmas, Phil!🎅🏻
Merry Christmas!
That Peter Gunn music was perfect for this game. Thanks NSG. Happy Holidays retro gamers.
Merry Christmas. GOD Bless!

I have play this version on the Pi a couple of times as an adult. I grew up with the C64 version which was likely more frustrating in every way! ;)
Great review. I love everything about this game… for about 30 seconds. Road Blasters and Fatal Run did this much better.

A Spy Hunter review! But not the 2600 Spy Hunter...😢
This one is setting up that one 😉
@thenosweargamer1449 I was hoping!
Super Spy Hunter is way better, but this is still a classic.
Yeah. It’s sorta fun for a few minutes but it’s WAY to hard.
Back from before Nintendo was about blood and violence and kids in...
