-
- The Plot Thickens!
- You're 006½, top agent of a secret organization committed
- to protecting the world from terrorists.
-
- Your mission is to parachute into a high-security island
- outpost and recover the stolen plans to the ultimate satellite
- laser weapon. In the wrong hands this weapon could mean
- world domination by the DVS, the world's most dangerous
- terrorist organization. You will need to knock out the vast
- security system, bypass dozens of extreme traps, overcome
- hundreds of multi-talented guards (such as thugs, ninjas,
- sharp-shooters, knife throwers, sentries, dogs, and many
- robots), and find the missing blue prints. If possible, take
- out the head honcho of the DVS.
-
- The Point of Playing!
- ■ If you complete any level without being hurt (without
- losing a Secret Agent head at the bottom of the screen) you
- get the 25,000 point "Perfect Health" bonus.
-
- ■ Collect S, P, and Y in that order and receive 10,000 bonus
- points, otherwise they're only worth 100 points each.
-
- ■ If you grab a Tombstone its worth a 1000, otherwise shoot
- it for 100, but if you let it go off-screen it will disappear.
-
- ■ Grab the DVS Flag, its worth 10,000 points.
-
- ■ Check all open areas, there may be hidden triggers that
- will cause money bags to fall from the ceiling.
-
- ■ Don't always kill everything, you may have only enough
- bullets to waste a few so avoid the easy ones and get the
- robots worth the points.
-
- The Man With the Golden Hint
- Here is a list of general hints that will help you solve all
- three episodes of the Secret Agent trilogy.
-
- ■ You need the dynamite to blow the door to exit the level.
-
- ■ You can stand on signs to duck out of the way for awhile,
- or use them to reach other areas.
-
- ■ If an enemy shoots at you get out of its way because there
- is nothing you can do.
-
- ■ Is there a laser field in the way? Well the computer will
- turn it off but don't forget the disk.
-
- ■ Be careful with your keys, you may have a blue key and
- many blue doors to open and only the right order will lead
- to wealth and success.
-
- ■ Robbie the Robot's force field is tough, but if you shoot
- him several times he will destruct.
-
- ■ Don't stand by the dynamite after you drop it by the door!
-
- ■ Some robots require your skill to hit them when are where
- they are vulnerable in order to destroy them.
-
- ■ Some robots are indestructible.
-
- ■ If a level seems too hard or you get stuck you can always
- press ESCape, then Quit. Then select Island Map and start
- the level or another again.
-
- ■ If you see a indentation in the ground, watch for a Scanner
- above, you may need to destroy it before you can pass.
-
- ■ Avoid spikes, water, and ooze, they all kill upon contact.
-
- ■ If you cannot jump high enough to get something that
- looks like you need try searching for a pushable block.
- Look above because you can only push them down. Be
- careful where you push them because you may need to use
- a pushable block more than once to solve the level.
-
- ■ Don't want that nasty rocket to get you? Jump in its path
- to trigger a shot, then jump past it while it reloads.
-
- ■ If you can't find a pushable block and need to somehow
- get up higher, look for the Inviso glasses, they help you see
- hidden platforms.
-
- ■ The super speed sneakers may be fun but they are there
- for a purpose so figure out what that is before you put them
- on because they wear out faster than you think.
-
- ■ If you get confused, wait briefly, it will wear off.
-
- Secret Codes
- The following secret codes were given to you by the Bureau
- for emergencies only! The Bureau has officially stated that
- these codes are unnecessary for the completion of your
- mission. Yet, you might find them useful in a tight
- situation.
-
- ■ Hold down the letters Z G I simultaneously to award
- yourself 25 extra bullets (you can only use this secret code
- once per game).
-
- ■ Hold down the letters U V K simultaneously to get the
- computer diskette and the dynamite.
