Spy Hunter 1983 Mug

Spy Hunter was a vehicular combat action game developed for video arcades in 1983. Designed as a vertical scrolling driving game with the player in the role of a spy driving a heavily armed super car, the object of the game was to travel the freeway, destroying as many enemy vehicles as possible while protecting civilian vehicles. Spy Hunter was produced in both sit-down and standard upright versions, with the latter being more common. The game's controls consisted of a steering wheel in the form of a futuristic aircraft-style yoke with several special buttons, a two-position stick shift and a pedal used for acceleration. Spy Hunter was a success in American arcades, where it was one of the top five highest-grossing games for 84 and 85.
