#amstrad #amstradcpc #amstradcpc464 #slyspy #secretagent #jamesbond

Longplay and review for “Sly Spy Secret Agent” on the Amstrad CPC! But a NEW UPDATED version that patches in audio and music for all the levels in the game!!

You see this Ocean Software conversion of the hit arcade coin-op (and outrageous James Bond 007 rip-off!) from Data East was actually pretty decent but in game was deathly silent! However a few weeks ago Jean-Marie on the CPC Wiki Forums produced a new special version importing all the music from the Atari ST version into the Amstrad version! Plus some other nice touches. So it’s this version we’re going to be reviewing and longplaying today!

Not only that, but I have tracked down the original coder of the Amstrad version Dean Belfield for an interview in this video!!

Plus we will take a close look at the arcade coin-op original, then later all the other conversions of Sly Spy for the ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64, Atari ST and Amiga! I guess we’ll see how they compare to the CPC and it’s new version! More importantly, does the introduction of music make a significant difference and is the Amstrad port now the best 8-bit version?

Let’s find out as I don the tuxedo and turn into XySpy….! 🤵
