You're the titular Super Spy, a OneManArmy, fighting against an unnamed terrorist legion who had taken over an office building. In a gameplay format reminiscient of ''VideoGame/PunchOut'', you move forward or backward, with the gameplay screen from your point-of-view, as you throw punches and kicks at enemies coming at you. Additional moves you can pull off via joystick includes ducking, sidestepping and blocking attacks, and you can collect daggers and firearms to use against enemies, besides saving hostages for life bonuses. And of course, the environment can be destroyed for points, since this ''is'' a BeatEmUp, where you can send mooks into windows and walls leaving behind broken glass and smashed concrete.

SNK will re-visit the formula with ''VideoGame/CrossedSwords'', a much better-received and memorable game which is medieval fantasy-themed.
