Back in 1983, arcades could be found in almost every neighborhood of the
United States. Jam-packed with people of all age groups, the videogame
industry was booming and players eager to experience the latest games
would make their weekly (sometimes daily) pilgrimage to their local
arcade. During this time, game companies had released a wide variety of
games geared towards specific consumers. Only a handful of those games
would become classics; SpyHunter is one of them.

Created by George Gomez in 1983, SpyHunter hit the arcades with a style
all to its own. Unique cabinet designs and highly addictive gameplay
launched SpyHunter to the top of the “must play” lists. One of the original
SpyHunter cabinets’ features was the steering wheel interface. While the
cabinet itself contained the wheel, a gear shift and accelerator pedal, the
wheel featured four buttons in which to complete your missions. Machine
guns, Missiles, Smoke Screen and the Oil Slick were available to you at
certain points in the game. All of which were activated by pressing a
button on the wheel.

Another element of the game which made it special was the soundtrack.
Fans of the original game still hum the tune to this day. The “Theme From
Peter Gunn” is one of the most memorable songs from a game. In fact,
most people would probably associate the tune with SpyHunter than Peter
Gunn. Created by Henry Mancini (creator of the famous “Pink Panther
Theme”), the “Theme From Peter Gunn” played in the background while
the player tried to rid the world of evil. Now, almost two decades later, that
same theme is still the “audio backbone” of SpyHunter.

Now in the next millenium, Midway has returned to the roots of the original
game. Fast-paced, exciting and challenging, SpyHunter returns with a
vengeance. Could the original game somehow return as well?
