Disappointing

Not a good version of Spy Hunter, as the maneuverablility is not good on this platform. Am awaiting a version of Super Spy Hunter somewhere. This is just not fun to play.

Moon Patrol is great, Spy Hunter bites

Moon Patrol is a great, faithful rendition of the original arcade classic. Drive your bouncy moon jalopy along, blasting obstacles and jumping over pits, blowing pesky UFO's out of the sky.

I found that the game is hard to play if there's any glare at all - many of the important features on the screen are hard to see. The bombs that the UFO's drop on you are especially hard to see if you're not playing somewhere with good lighting and minimal glare. Another disappointment is that the cartridge doesn't have a battery, so it won't save high scores or record time.

Spy Hunter is a waste. The controls are very awkward even if you don't use the special weapons. When you add in those weapons, trying to pull off something like B+left arrow for one thing versus B+up arror for another is just pointless.

If you fondly remember Moon Patrol and have decent vision, you'll have a great time. If you're hoping for a good version of Spy Hunter, well, you won't find it here.

Hrm..

Growing up, I played both Moon Patrol and Spy Hunter in the arcades, then on the Atari 2600 console and Atari 800XL computer. The Spy Hunter reminds me of the Atari 800XL version of Spy Hunter, slightly easier than the 'real thing' but still awkward to get your car moving fast enough to be effective, but slow enough to give you time to react to things coming down the road (typical Spy Hunter problem though). For a better Spy Hunter, and a faithful arcade adaptation, go to shockwave.com and play theirs. As far as Moon Patrol, the music is hard to hear, and the UFO's are hard to shoot and and dodge, but it is a faithful arcade adaptation. Unless you REALLY liked these two games in the past (to discover this about yourself, ask yourself "Can I hum the Moon Patrol theme?"), I wouldn't suggest the purchase. I feel I paid $15 too much for this $20 cartridge..
