| 265.2 | An explanation | SOFBAS::WALKER | Tue Apr 25 1989 18:49 | 29 | |
This game is great! Two people play at the same time. In the process of
setting traps for the other person, you sometimes do yourself in and
that is part of the fun! As was mentioned somewhere else in this
conference, it has alot is tense competition and I usually end up
punching my husband when I run into one of his traps.
Here is a little explanantion of the game.
Two spys are in a building. There are four objects that must be found,
money,passport,suitcase,papers. The spy who finds all of these must
then get out of the building and fly away. The items are hiddend
behind pictures, in fileing cabinets and desks etc. Unless you have the
suitcase you can only carry one item at a time. Thereofre once you find
it you need to hide somewhere that you know of. Each spy has the
capability of setting traps i.e. water over a closed door, bombs, etc.
If you spring a trap you 'die' and start back at your orininal position
in the building. There are ways to prevent 'death' from a trap, for
example an umbrella will protect you from the water.
Both players play at the same time. One player gets the top half of the
screen and the other the bottom half. Since you are so intent on
finding the items and setting traps there is no chance to watch what
the other spy is doing. Very intense. There are many levels, each of
which has a more complicated building to search.
Oh! you can also play against the game instead of another person.
Try it, you'll love it!

Childworld USED to have this months ago. I don't know if they still
carry it. I would call first. Also Toys-R-Us has a good selection.

I rented this game a couple of days ago. After playing 1 hour, I
won against the computer at the highest level.
I believe this game is best played against an opponent. The computer
wasn't very smart and so wasn't challenging. It kept on blowing
itself with its own traps.

re. -1
Playing against a human makes all the difference in the world. My
husband didn't really get hooked until we were both playing. Try it
again!

| 265.7 | Anyone got a used one for sale? | STAR::DIPIRRO | Mon Apr 17 1995 17:44 | 4 | |
One of my kids really, really wants to buy a used copy of this
game. If anyone has one they'd like to sell, let me know via email. I
don't normally read this conference.
Thanks!
