[AMSTRAD CPC] Sly Spy : Secret Agent – Review & Longplay

This blatant James Bond rip-off was released in the arcades as both “Sly Spy” and “Secret Agent” in 1989, this home conversion was released with both titles as “Sly Spy : Secret Agent”.

Lovely graphics, smooth scrolling and variety of levels is let down by the complete absence of in-game sound, some dodgy collision detection and a poor ending. The original game was pretty easy with short levels too, so don’t blame the conversion entirely!

This didn’t get much distribution in the UK when originally released for some reason, however it appeared widespread on the Hit Squad budget re-release.

There’s some nice music on the title screen (if a little inappropriate for the game) by Geoff Follin (brother of Tim Follin?)
