    Great arcade game, it looks pretty good on the old C64 too.
    Like Glen said Action Fighter on the Sega is really similar and i like that a lot 👍😎

      Morning mate, it's not a bad version here, gamplay is quite good, but shame the weapons were not working, still fun though and worth a blast I'd say.
      Never played Action Fighter in the arcades back in the day, but played it recently in the SMS. Very similar indeed 😂
      Cheers for watching pal, and enjoy your weekend 👍 😊

    Remember playing on the sit down cab in Minehead many many years ago.
    Great little arcade game.
    Everything is better on the speccy 🥰

      Ok Raza mate, nice to check an arcade classic from my childhood.
      This version is ok, pity I couldn't get the weapons to work mind 😆 😂
      I do prefer the speccy version I must say, but this one is still canny 👍
      Thanks again for stopping by buddy, appreciated, enjoy the rest of your weekend ✌️ 😊

    Ha ha that photo was an improvement for me paul mate that was my better side 😂 fancy having to use 2 joysticks for weapons thats terrible dude and this game reminded me of action fighter on the master system in bits buddy 🙂👍

    • @stewsretroreviews
      @stewsretroreviews  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Hey mate, beer goggles for the photo mate 😆 🤣
      Bloody crazy needing 2 joysticks isn't it Glen, what nutter thought of that eh haha.
      Looks similar to action fighter too. Sure they both came out the same time in the arcades too buddy.
      Cheers for watching pal, beers on the go 🍻 ✌️ 😃

    Looks quite vibrant colours for the C64 Paul, I do have the Speccy one but it's never been a game I've played very much. Definitely very similar to Action Fighter though which is good if frustrating 🤣👍

    • @stewsretroreviews
      @stewsretroreviews  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Morning James, you should definitely have a go of the speccy version, it pretty good and the weapons are much easier to use than the 64 version 😂
      The car controls are a bit clunky on this version, but I got used to it, it also looks more similar to the arcade cab as well and has the cool music playing too.
      Gameplay is still canny though, definitely worth a quick blast I'd say mate.
      Thanks again for watching pal, and enjoy ya weekend ✌️ 😊

      Yeah it's ok mate, graphics are a bit on the blocky side, and I couldn't get the weapons to work lol. I do prefer the speccy version cos the weapons worked 😆 , but this one does have the arcade tune in so not to bad 👍

    I had SPY HUNTER for my Commodore 64 as a disk version 😺👍🕹️.
    Sadly, i made a stupid mistake and sold it away at a flea market in the late 2010's 😹.
    A legendary Arcade conversion 😺👍🕹️.

      Hello Lee, lots of memories of this game mate, the arcade version as a kid, but especially the great speccy version with my brother.
      This 64 version is ok too, and looks similar to the arcade, probably a bit more blocky haha, and not sure what happened to the weapons 😆 🤣
      Glad you liked bud, have a class weekend 👍

    Loving the tune but like you I’d hop onto the speccy version any day of the week. Cool to see this one in action though 😊. Great stuff Paul!!

      Hi Ed, great to hear from ya mate, hope all is well 👍
      Oh aye, the speccy version for me any day too Ed 😆 🤣
      This one was ok, it properly looks more like the classic arcade version, but I did think it was blocky compared to the speccy version, but the gameplay was ok once I got used to it, and it did have the music on, shame I couldn't manage to get the weapons on mind haha, heard you need 2 joysticks for that one 🤣
      Anyways, cheers for stopping by pal, take care dude ✌️ 😊

    Tough game this... should use the 'Ride The Border' glitch. Theres a quick video over on my channel on how to do this for the Spy Hunter game and it was fun when me & my brother discovered it 😇🕹👌

      A lot of people have great memories of this game from their childhoods including me, especially the arcade and speccy versions, I played this one a bit at my cousins house back in the 80s too, classic game!

    NICE! A bit of Spy Hunter. What an arcade smash! Looks pretty good, sounds ok, how's it handle? Seems a bit too slippery. Cheers Paul buddy, happy weekend!

    • @stewsretroreviews
      @stewsretroreviews  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Hi Jon, yeah the controls are very similar to the arcade cab, very slippery buddy lol, its does look a bit blocky compared the speccy version too.
      The gameplay is ok once you get the hang of it I suppose, gutted I couldn't get those weapons to work mind, 2 joysticks is needed apparently 😂
      Oh well, it's still worth a blast for nostalgia I'd say mate 😃

    @Gansteeth 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Yeah, the C64 version is a bit daft. Works better playing with keyboard. If using the joystick then you need to use two sticks. You press fire on the joystick in the other port to get the smoke/oil. The control method is a bit naff and definitely one aspect that is handled much better in the Spectrum version. :)

    • @stewsretroreviews
      @stewsretroreviews  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Ok mate, ahh right, maybe I should have checked the instructions haha.
      On the speccy version you just hold the fire button down I sure bud. Thanks for letting me know anway, will get my 2nd joystick out next time, very strange that mind 🤣
