Ze_ro Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Important Note: This weeks competition is over and no further scores will be accepted. You are a world-class spy, driving for your life in your ultra-equipped turbo-charged spy mobile. The road is crawling with enemy agents bent on your destruction. They'll stop at nothing...so neither can you! Maneuver your car with all the speed and skill you can, always watching for the Road Lord, the Switch Blade, the Enforcer and other enemy agents as they try to stop you cold on land and water. You must destroy them before they destroy you!

Thanks to roadrunner for describing the scoring! [+2] Hints and Tips The ManualAs always, you really should read the manual. In case you don't have the manual, AtariAge has a typed copy available online. Unfortunately, the manual doesn't contain any real hints.roadrunnerWhen driving the boat, don't go that fast. Take it slow.DeteacherMy only tip would be that if you don't have any missiles and the copter shows up, slam on the brakes and the copter flies off the top of the screen. --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roadrunner Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 100,500 I almost made it to my weapons van, but got taken out by Switch Blade. Spy Hunter is one of my favorite games on the 2600. I'm glad i have the cartridge. Tip- when i'm driving the boat, i don't go that fast. Take it slow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darthkur Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 35,000 The picture always jitters up and down rapidly with this cart. It's almost unplayable it's so irritating. The TV I have isn't very old although far from new. The last set I had James Bond 007 and Spy Hunter did that but 007 doesn't on this one but sadly SH still does. Why would this be? At least the flash on my camera makes it possible to take a clear screenshot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roadrunner Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 146,750 I got deep enough into the game the color of the water was the same color as the land-dark blue. My best bet was to stay in the middle of the screen, but i drove into a oil barrel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcge0053 Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 138,750 I always thought this was a difficult game as a kid, and I still think it's crazy hard! I just went VERY slowly and stopped shooting those stupid yellow cars. They can't kill you if they're left alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toymailman Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Been putting in some time with this one. My best is... 136,000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roadrunner Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 (edited) Scoring Points in Spy Hunter I was trying to figure out how many points the Enemy Agents are worth. Here's what i got - Roadlord - 200 Points Switch Blade - 200 Points Barrel Dumper - 200 Points Enforcer - 500 Points Doctor Torpedo - 500 Points The Copter - 1,500 Points (i think not quite sure) Edited March 18, 2009 by roadrunner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deteacher Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 49,500. I actually cracked 50K once (just barely) but I didn't get a pic of it, so this one will have to do. My only tip would be that if you don't have any missiles and the copter shows up, slam on the brakes and the copter flies off the top of the screen.

doctorclu Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I always thought this was a difficult game as a kid, and I still think it's crazy hard! I just went VERY slowly and stopped shooting those stupid yellow cars. They can't kill you if they're left alone. I thought the civilians were the yellow cars. I stopped using the machine gun on the road and starting using more oil slick, smoke screen etc. I crash into fewer cars that way. My new score.. 193,200.
