Secret Agent

I decided to play another old Apogee platform game after Crystal Caves. Next up was Secret Agent, which used the Crystal Caves game engine and was released a year later in 1992. As with Apogee’s other shareware titles, it featured three episodes. Yesterday, I finished the first episode, The Hunt for Red Rock Rover. Instead of a mine, an island map served as the main screen. As Agent 006½, you have to infiltrate 16 structures in each episode. After completing 15 of the standard ones, you unlock the ability to access the main fortress. There were a few hard levels. Surprisingly, the main fortress was not one of them. Overall, it is very similar to the gameplay of Crystal Caves. I’ve enjoyed it thus far. However, I may need a break before returning to complete the next two episodes, Kill Again Island and Dr. No Body.
