The Super Spy is an early SNK Neo Geo action game, and one of their few arcade releases which plays out like a First-Person Shooter / Beat 'em Up hybrid. And it is one of the very few single-player only games on the platform.The terrorist group Zolge King detonated a bomb in the subway, killing hundreds of people. As CIA agent Roy Heart, the titular super spy, you are first to take out the Zolge King's bomb factory, then take out the group's eight leaders inside the occupied Tayoda car company's HQ.In a gameplay format reminiscient of Punch-Out!!, you move forward or backward, with the gameplay screen from your point-of-view, as you throw punches and kicks at enemies coming at you. Additional moves you can pull off via joystick includes ducking, sidestepping and blocking attacks, and you can collect daggers and firearms to use against enemies, besides saving hostages for life bonuses. And of course, the environment can be destroyed for points, since this is a Beat 'em Up, where you can send mooks into windows and walls leaving behind broken glass and smashed concrete.SNK will re-visit the formula with Crossed Swords, a much better-received and memorable game which is medieval fantasy-themed. | |

Bloodless Carnage | |
| The Super Spy (Video Game) / int_135b9977 | comment |
Bloodless Carnage: You can obtain a dagger for slashing and stabbing at enemies, but you're not going to see a single drop of red at any point. Not even if you stab them so hard that they fly into the background. | |

| The Super Spy (Video Game) / int_1ca6727d | comment |
Actually a Doombot: You fight King, the terrorist leader halfway into the game, and if you win, King then pulls off his latex mask revealing himself to be his decoy, Back Gallop. You'll need to finish another stage before facing the real leader. | |

Faceless Goons | |
| The Super Spy (Video Game) / int_2044af1 | comment |
Faceless Goons: Every single onscreen enemy are generic, generic thugs whose faces are never shown in-game. They're either clad in balaclavas, gasmasks, or wrapped in bandages, and doesn't have any personality whatsoever. The terrorist bosses, on the other hand, fights unmasked. | |

Palette Swap | |
| The Super Spy (Video Game) / int_2557e3a9 | comment |
Palette Swap: Owing to the game being a really old arcade title, sprites for enemies are constantly reused, with only minor changes being coloring. The recurring balaclava-clad mooks, for example, are faceless goons in black, blue, purple, white armor, and sometimes a mix of colors. | |

| The Super Spy (Video Game) / int_45398e01 | comment |
Psycho Knife Nut: The unhinged, mentally-unstable terrorist henchman called "Geese" swings a wicked knife. When first encountered he's threatening to slice open a hostage's face with his trusty weapon before you interrupt him, and the battle is set in a partially-destroyed office badly vandalized with a knife. | |

Dual Boss: A pair of strongmen - musclebound terrorists who fights bare-fisted - serves as the first boss, and will attack you in tandem until you took down both. They return degraded as a recurring, stronger-than-average (but still mook-level) enemy. | |

| The Super Spy (Video Game) / int_567e7c4d | comment |
Wounded Gazelle Gambit: Pink attempts this when you first met her, pretending to be an injured hostage asking for your help before suddenly pulling a knife to stab you. It happens during a cutscene and doesn't affect your health in any way, and then the boss battle continues as usual. | |
