I have been playing a bit of SpyHunter since finishing up Darwinia. It was a PlayStation console game ported to PC and Mac several years ago. Aspyr hasn’t updated it in some time. It wouldn’t even run under Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard. I had to play it under Mac OS X 10.3 Panther. It was a pretty decent modernization of the great coin-op classic of the same name. The original was one of my all-time favorite arcade games. I finished the first four missions out of a total of fourteen. I was just getting into the game when I hit a snag. Although I had completed the mission’s primary objective, I was one point short on cumulative secondary objectives to continue. I am unable to play mission five until I go back and improve on one of my prior missions. This game mechanic definitely feels much more appropriate for a console game than a computer game. I will probably go back to SpyHunter at some point. For now, however, I have put it on hold as I begin another season of North American League Baseball.
