David "The 8-Bit Guy" restores the amazing Spy Hunter Arcade game for the Time Rift Arcade.
Spy Hunter is a classic arcade game released by Bally Midway in 1983. The game puts players in the role of a secret agent driving an armed sports car, tasked with eliminating enemy vehicles while avoiding civilian traffic. Featuring top-down gameplay, it became renowned for its innovative use of vehicle transformations, allowing the player's car to turn into a boat. Its memorable soundtrack, inspired by the James Bond theme, and unique gameplay mechanics made "Spy Hunter" a beloved title in the arcade gaming scene of the 1980s.

The plan was that at a high enough stage, the car would turn into a helicopter and fight the helicopter in the game in the air. Midway actually put that in the sales brochure. But in reality, the programmers had to drop that feature because there wasn't enough space in the ROMs to make it happen.

Spy Hunter was one of my favorites. As for CRT Rejuvenating. I have some experience with it from the tube manufacture I used to be with. The sparking was what they called spark knocking and it was it get rid of any foreign materials or potential arc paths of leakage from the high impedance circuits. Past that what causes dim screens is loss of emission from loss of free barium from the cathode. Generally there is some reserve of barium oxide that can be reduced my raising the cathode temp to that which is used during aging in production of vacuum tubes. Same process. Unfortunately it becomes a game of diminishing returns so you generally only get one shot at it and not all types have a reserve as they were already at margin for normal operation anyways.

@wasd____ 4 месяца назад

Arcade cabinet games tended to be harder than their home ports. The publisher already had all the money they were going to get once you bought your home console copy, so the incentive was for that version to be finished quickly and leave you wanting to buy another game. The arcade version was a perpetual cash cow and arcade operators wanted them to be hard so that most players would game over quickly and the machine would be a quarter vacuum.

@nickpalance3622 3 месяца назад

I was going to say as much. When I heard that line in the video I was thinking “since when is the arcade version easier?” The home versions are always easier. Please correct me if I’m wrong. Coleco touted its line of arcade conversions for the home, particularly the Colecovision. A lot of “B” grade games (obviously not DK, DK Jr, or Zaxxon). So more or less the CV catalog was a bunch of games I never ever EVER saw in the arcade. But then one day the local arcade got Looping maybe a year or two past it’s prime. Sitting in the back of the arcade (best stuff up front to pull in people). I thought I was good but the arcade version kicked my @$$ ! And I could play the 5200 Mario Bros for much much longer than in the arcade. Etc etc.

I have fond memories of playing this game after a late shift. I could stand on one leg and play more than hour on one quarter. Spyhunter was unique for two things: the music could "solo" an original melody every game and there was no upper skill-limit. The game didn't cheat, it just got harder...and harder...and harder while you, the player, were getting better and better. Eventually a skilled player could learn tactics for every situation and use feats of skill to pull off amazing tricks. A one-of-kind game.
