C64 Longplay - Spy Hunter (HQ)

[@coromknight3171]

I always played looking for an ending. Going from spring to summer to winter over and over. Nice to see there is no ending. I feel so fulfilled!

[@golddiggerdave]

At the time changing from a car to a speedboat blew my tiny mind.........What a Classic game.

[@dhmacdonald8605]

HOURS and HOURS of my life.

[@MMArmaggedon]

still after all these years, the tune is absolutely DOPE

[@pray4mojo35]

One of the many bootlegged games I had on my Commodore 64 and probably one of my favorites.

[@DangerKennyB]

One of the best home versions of this for sure

[@nowhereman5760]

Dave Bautistaroid definitely!

[@Discrimination_is_not_a_right]

Unfortunately most drivers on the road seem to still be playing this game.

[@Schcarraffone]

is this in italy yes ?

[@henrikuivanen2302]

This game theme just started playing on my head... crazy. After.... what... 30 years after since I last time played this. :o

[@DreSoul2049]

Henri Kuivanen just happened to me...lol

[@MephProduction]

it's the peter gunn theme from the tv show.

[@simplayer666]

I used shoot the truck after he'd dropped me off. Yea, I was like that at ten years old.

[@barrygoldwater360]

I would play this game with friends, hopelessly trying to win this game.. only to find out now that it loops!

[@lainet]

I remember one cheat. When the road is wide, you can drive just to the edge of the screen (between the black and the game area). Then you could just drive there, be safe and skip any difficult parts..

[@nowhereman5760]

lainet lol , wish I knew that back in the day

[@scalperbot]

I remember that! Man thats a 35 year old hack!

[@JP-uy9kq]

No points though, while doing it iirc

[@snoojie]

Except for the car that could shoot at you.

[@ScottSchneider007]

And if the chopper placed the bomb on the edge of the screen you would have to slow down to avoid getting hit and slowly build speed and the bomb animation would continue to flicker.

[@laurenkuhnen359]

Wasn't there a longer car that would shoot bullets out the side? I remember that one always getting me.

[@bunkerhousing]

Yes, there is a cut before itr appears and then season is changed. Maybe he was killed by it.

[@dragoncompanyARMA]

Thanks for bringing this back to life

[@williamkelley7654]

I just bought a NES system to play this but after watching this video I now realize it was on a C64 that I played this when I was 15yrs old. Damn, now I have to buy a C64, lol.

[@aceantman]

Download vice and play on your PC.

[@mikaelkaarsberg1266]

Love this game.. Played for many hours back in the days :)

[@Adropacrich2]

You are exceptionally good at this game.These days i might possibly be a little better than i was back in 85 but i'm not sure i could play so effortlessly as you're doing here.Bravo C64 version of this i found to be rather superb even in comparison to the Arcade

[@christopherkhill3213]

I would have passed out from amazement seeing someone play the game this well as a kid.

[@MickeyKnox]

Gott wie habe ich dieses Spiel geliebt ... auf meinem ST rauf und runter gespielt :)

[@eddielegs344]

Game of my child hood love that game and that music sound in the begin haha

[@themancunian777]

This was so moody back in the day - tune c64 👍

[@ElAurian]

I played this game for days....

[@PACEUK22]

Happy memories. The best game tune ever:)

[@luisgpr1]

O my God what great memory is that!

[@pumpkinheadedcat]

Yes, I remember that too! So I went back and played it again -- there are two modes of game play - novice and expert. The assassin limo appears in the 'expert' mode. Still a fun game to play after all these years...

[@becomeanolive1637]

Yes, you seldom see him, my brother and I used to call him the boss! It took us a long while to figure out how to use the smokescreen , it's the button on other joystick

[@christiaanjellesma1851]

loved this game

[@Banner1979]

We used to have this on the C64. It was cool for its time.

[@JohnK-pb6mn]

LOL used to love this.

[@Suprasylph]

I spent so many evenings playing this game. lol I remember exploiting a glitch where you could drive beyond the playfield but you could only do that on the boat missions.

[@IceDaemon]

The game is so awesome.

[@thedungeondelver]

When the road is 4 lanes and the curb is up against the overscan area of the monitor, you can carefully slide your car over there and become invincible and just drive continually, even over water; I left my C64 on over night doing that once and in addition to being dangerously hot (or so I thought at the time) I had 999,999 points!

[@xentaatnex8261]

So many quarters spent.

[@iambinksy]

@thedungeondelver I did this often, sometimes copter mad bomber used to somehow get there too.

[@TheUsualSuspekt]

@thedungeondelver LOL I did that. Its amazing how we had no Internet back then but we all sort of discovered these things on our own. I used to do that when the helicopter dropped bombs too and if you timed it right, you can see the explosion animate as you rode to the next level.

[@cryonicblue]

The nostagia is high... :)

[@AchtungBaby77]

There are *very* few games on C64 that I'd claim to be more fun than the arcade original, but this is definitely one of them, the other being Wizard of Wor.

[@SoniXtheOnly]

@DXSnakeEater Woooow, thank you! :-))) Very nice song, i love it

[@Tommyblueeyes]

Like the game cos i loved cars

[@SoniXtheOnly]

Does anobody know whats the name of the track/melody in original? I love the sound since i played this game at the age of 4 years.

[@iser82]

7 years later...it’s called the Peter Gunn theme

[@flatron1707]

I played hours and hours on this game 😭

[@gregliam]

how come there are so many versions of this game

[@thearchiveable]

gregliam I think because it was a major arcade game.

[@robertkelly5515]

What's the game with the phrase 'stay a while, stay forever - Hahahaha' I can't remember it's name?

[@slyoldfoxystoatface]

Impossible Mission

[@geoffreysearby3181]

@@slyoldfoxystoatface Impossible Mission is one of the best games ever made

[@Po4to]

Wasn't there a motorbike? I recall the car... morphing into the bike? Might be confusing it with some other game. Also, I'm looking for another game -- you played either as a character who could switch back and forth between being a soldier-like guy and a female gymnast. You could open the passage to the next section by whamming your head on the door. The second section started with some plant monster and there was one with elevators that went up or down depending on the character's current gender.

[@deaner6944]

Amazing.. Thx :-)

[@aerisgainsborough2141]

did you not know to glitch the absolute side of screen and no one can reach you!!

[@mikedlong72]

Question, I'm looking for a game that I can only remember the part where two people are standing on opposing sides like on a dock and between them is water. The goal lot that section is to throw knives at each other. If you hit one knife on them you hear this weird unnngh (like a thud but on a body). After the third they fall face forward into the water. It was on my C64 but have no idea what the name was. Any help? Thanks, Mike Long

[@Ziggurath76]

Beach Head 2

[@mhhousley81]

+Mike Long Definitely Beach Head 1 or 2, ahhh Memories!

[@Freddyfan1428]

I always hated the 'Switchblade' cars more than anything because you'd try to swerve round them and BOOM! there goes your tires and you'd get that horrid spinout before you end up a flaming ball of wreckage on the side of the road... Until the Weapons Van drops you off again, of course, lol!

[@Simon0]

hello. my name is SImon. Whats your name. This game was pretty damn hard.

[@thegrayknight71]

Fantastic game but insanely dificult. Or my joystick was crap. :)

[@kalemdor1667]

Best cheat in the desert zone.. Stick to the far right off the road and noting could get you.

[@cintulator2]

Oh my, those "handcars"...vitun käsiautot...

[@Parrambusties]

CAUTION: ICY ROADS AHEAD... LOL

[@muaythai4lifelife]

I had 007 the spy who loved me. It is similar, 007 was better graphic and sound. Can't find on you tube :(

[@maiki60fps]

I find that Amiga conversion a big joke.. it is even missing the proper tune... no way.. C-64 is much better

[@kevinjones9713]

man this sucks compared to the atari 800xl version

[@MephProduction]

better not look at the Speccy version... it's hideous.
