Secret Agent is a platform-action game, in which you are tasked with traversing an island map to infiltrate fortresses, destroy each one's Satellite dish, and then proceed to destroy the main fortress.
The island map has 16 fortresses total; 15 small ones you can complete in any order, and 1 main one that you can only access after destroying the 15 others. In each fortress, you are tasked with destroying the Satellite dish. However, several things can hinder your progress; Shark tanks, Laser Grids, Spike traps, Robots, Colored Security doors, and enemy agents.
To dispatch a laser grid, you must find a floppy disk and insert it into a computer, and to open a colored door, you must find the corresponding colored key. Enemy agents can be dispatched with your gun.
There are 5 different enemy agents.
Dark 006½ - He looks like you, and can shoot
Sentry - Donning blue armor, he walks a bit slower than Dark 006½
Ninja - Can't shoot, but walks very fast
Guard - Walks slow, can't shoot
Janitor - Very Slow, can't shoot
When you shoot an enemy agent, he devolves into the next agent rank below him. For example, if you shoot a Guard, he becomes a Janitor. Be careful when shooting the Sentry, because the Ninja moves much faster than he does.
There are also several kinds of Robots, such as Robots who rarely show their face- their weak point. Some robots also explode into dangerous gas.
After you destroy the Satellite Dish by shooting it three times, you must escape the level. In order to do this, you have to locate a dynamite pack and blow the door open.
The core gameplay itself is a sidescrolling platformer. You'll find yourself doing a lot of jumping and backtracking, but thankfully, the levels aren't too big, and each one will take you about 8 minutes to complete. Be careful though, as the jumping parts can get frustrating, as in narrow hallways, hitting your head decreases your jump distance.
The graphics themselves are nice for an old 16-color game. They aren't the best you'll ever see, but they get the job done, and everything in the game is recognizable.
The game is short on sounds aside from a few PC-Speaker bleeps and bloops.
All in all, this is a fun Platforming romp, and one that is worth your time.
