Secret Agent © 1983 Data Age, Incorporated.

You play the part of a little guy with a board across his head as he attempts to catch the falling 'spy booty' from above. These items consist of money, suitcases, and little capsules with US on them.

You must also avoid the bad items that will get your agent captured such as grenades, guns, and bugs. This is fairly easy at first, but once the action picks up it's more a matter of luck than skill.

After collecting enough items a tone will sound, this is the signal that you must 'make the drop off'. Below your agent is a lake with some boats moving about, you must line your agent up with the boat and press the button to 'hand off' the evidence. If you successfully hit the boat you score bonus points, if you miss there doesn't seem to be a penalty. At the top of the screen there is a guy with a gun chasing after another guy. These guys don't seem to do anything and appear to be eye candy.

TRIVIA

Secret Agent was the last Data Age game to be completed, but the crash forced them out of business before it could be released.
