Ahh, but ya gota luv a game that whoops your --I'm attempting to get by the auto-censor and should be beaten after I re-read the rules-- : )
Now that theres some tips up there, give it another go. Takes about an hour to get the hang of things... then you keep getting better from there.
The main thing about Spyhunter... is to make sure to use a pot based wheel and pedal set. With any other type of control setup... you wont have fast enough reaction time nor the perfect control needed for this insane game.
You can get away without a 2way hi-low shifter - by mapping a button for it. However... it does have to be an easy to reach one.
A few more tips:
* Do not shoot your machine guns while driving. Only use them sparingly when baddies are in aim. Otherwise, you will shoot pedestrians... and run into thier wreckage. You also need to be ready to slow and dodge the wreckages of the baddies as you shoot them. Shoot wisely and carefully.
* Do not feel the need to go too fast. Once you get to the end of your clock... drive in high gear, but at a slow speed... else you risk wreckage.
* Use pedestrians as shields. As baddies creep from behind, you can shoot a pedestrian and quickly dodge it, and the baddies will have to take evasive action to avoid damage - leaving you some breathing room.
* As the helicopter approaches... stay in one place for a few seconds till the copter is about to drop a bomb... then dodge the bomb at the last second. Make sure to account for the road ahead... so that you can dodge into the road - instead of running off the road to dodge it.
* Executioner will miss you unless you move too slow. If he is moving... then you have to bump him off the road before he sticks the gun out.
* Practice bumping for like an hour. Its an essential skill for going far in a game.
* You do not need to press weapons van to 'call' it. It dosnt do a thing.. except start a game. Also it used to flash to let you know it was comming up. Slow down and let it catch up to you... let it ahead of you about 2 cars distance, then slam into high gear to enter it.
* Be very carefull after getting dropped off from the van. Enter with light steering and speed... as if you try to cross too deep into the road by steering hard, you may get ran into by a passing car.
* Theres a trick: After getting dropped off by the van, keep the wheel all the way over twords the sceen edge you are closest to... and punch it. You will be invincible, rolling thru and over everything... however.. it will crash the game at some point if you do it too long. Not sure it works after timer runs out either.
* When dropping oil... wait till they are close as you might be able to kill more than one car with the slick. Wait till the enemies line up - then let em have it : )
* If you drive too slow... every once in a while the game will send an executioner after you... or... it will send a switchblade at you but he travels a LOT faster than normal!
Have fun ^_^
Btw- Outrun is my alltime fave driving game. Had to put hunter above it tho - as its got more depth and replay value.
Dexter:
With my current cab I'd have to go with Shinobi and the Gradius series. But if I had the controls Star wars and Discs of Tron. Theres so many brilliant old school games, out of every thing Mamed so far I could easily pick 20 and enjoy each as much as the next!
