Spy Story
Description
You are secret agent 001 and employed by the Secret Service, the B.V.D. Exhausted from a previous mission you are on the way to your girlfriend’s house. You are looking forward to a quiet evening, but the phone rings. A new mission. Your assignment is to find the base of your arch-enemy Bogfeld first and then hijack a highly advanced aircraft, the top secret Ultrajet, that he cunningly appropriated.
Spy Story is a graphic text adventure. The ZX Spectrum version is in Dutch. You use text commands to interact with your surroundings, such as "PAK PORTEFEUILLE" (GET WALLET) or "VUL FLES" (FILL BOTTLE). It is possible to give one-letter commands such as 'N(OORD)', 'Z(UID)', 'O(OST)', 'W(EST)' for wind directions. The inventory can only hold up to four items and "WAT"(WHAT) will tell you what you have in your possession. "KIJK" (LOOK) can be used to take a close look at various situations and "HELP" will sometimes provide you with helpful hints. With "STOP" it is possible to save and then you can either restart, continue or quit the game.
The game has two arcade parts. The first one is a labyrinth and in the second one you have to shoot your way to freedom.
The MSX version of this game is completely in English and uses one-letter commands such as 'N(ORTH)', 'S(OUTH)', 'E(AST)', 'W(EST)' for wind directions. "INV" tells you what you have in your possession and 'LOOK' is used to take a close look at various situations.
