About the game
Somewhere on earth is a spy mastermind that must be captured! Compete against other secret agents in a globe-hopping race to track him down. Travel by sports car, motorcycle, helicopter and jet! Discover his hidden hideouts on each continent to gather clues to his whereabouts. Throughout the game you’ll receive secret audio transmissions from headquarters with information for your ears only! With clever deduction and cunning strategy, you can outwit your opponents and be the first to bring down the evil spymaster! Early versions of the game came with a defective "Spy Phone" that would not trigger a secret message when picked up due to a missing button. This effectively makes the game unplayable.
