The evil multinational corporation, NOSTRA, is ready to destroy the world and keep what's left, but as SPY HUNTER , it is the player's job to take them down, using all of the available weapons.
In this remake of the 1980s arcade game, the player must ride through seven real-life locations in a G-6155 Interceptor, the most high-tech car ever built. Weapons include built-in machine guns, oil slicks, missiles, and much more.
The Interceptor has two major transformations: when it hits the water, it transforms into a speed boat. When its shields dip below 50%, it transforms into a motorcycle or jet ski.

Manual
Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This is an action-driving game where players take on the role of an elite agent, Alec Sects, piloting a transforming, weaponized vehicle called the G-6155 Interceptor. You must prevent a megalomaniac CEO, Daemon Curry, from unleashing global destruction and fulfilling apocalyptic prophecies. The gameplay involves using the Interceptor's advanced capabilities to hunt down and neutralize Nostra International's forces across various terrains.
Story
Nostra International
Nostra International is a company based in Israel with facilities all over the globe. They deal in food products, bio-chemicals, genetics, e-commerce and children's software.
Daemon Curry, President of Nostra International, is viewed by some as the next messiah. He is an intellectual with keen business sense and political savvy. He is connected in very high places within every government of the world, and even with the church.
Hell is about to be unleashed.
Ever since Daemon Curry was a teen, he was fascinated with the prophecies of Nostradamus. He felt the one spoken of in the books, the one who would be king and bring the world to its knees, the one who would rewrite history; he felt this one would be him. It's funny how a name can go to your head.
AGENT BRIEFING
In the early 80's he started Nostra to fund his visions of destruction. Twenty-two years later, he is at last ready to start his unholy war.
He has tainted government elections; assassinated presidents and poisoned priests to attract the media and buy himself time. He has grand plans for this world. "Fire will fall from the sky, rivers will run red with blood, and a war unlike any the world has seen will unleash the four horsemen unto earth."
To help him realize his vision, he has assembled an army of spies and assassins to spread across the globe like a disease and establish strongholds in strategic locales. Once his plan is complete, he will unleash the four horsemen to spread famine, disease, pestilence, and war. Then, as it is written, "One man will become king and all the dying world will become slaves for his pleasure."
To deal with this growing threat, IES (International Espionage Services) has created a team known as SPYHUNTER. The main weapon in this team's arsenal is the G-6155 Interceptor: a state of the art automobile with enhanced weapon and transition capabilities and an onboard computer, named "Leonie," that helps analyze and identify possible targets.
The G-6155 driver is Alec Sects, a former F-15 fighter pilot recently FBI trained with focus on international affairs. The Weapons Van, a mobile ammo replenishment unit, is usually positioned just past enemy lines to assist the G-6155 in fulfilling its mission. Their job is to locate Nostra's legion and prevent them from carrying out these prophecies.
The Hunt is on.
VITAL DATA
G-6155 INTERCEPTOR
The G-6155 Interceptor is a prototype of the most advanced counterintelligence vehicle ever developed. It incorporates the latest high-tech systems and includes many experimental weapons and features.
The most significant advancement it possesses is the ability to transform itself into a number of alternative forms quickly and without stopping, allowing it to operate on both land and water. It also includes a state-of-the-art computer system that controls or semi-automates many of its capabilities.
INTERCEPTOR MORPHING
The G-6155 Interceptor has the remarkable ability to transform itself from a land-based vehicle to a water vehicle depending on the current terrain. This incredible feature is what makes the Interceptor so dangerous to NOSTRA.
New IES technology allows for the Interceptor, if damaged badly, to jettison its outer frame and become a small (but just as deadly) one-man vehicle. Being lighter and faster than the Interceptor, this vehicle unfortunately doesn't allow for the Interceptor's full arsenal of weapons, but it still is heavily armed and a force to be reckoned with.

Please note that your Interceptor will only be equipped with weapons that are available in those locations.

Items & Weapons
Oil Slick
The G-6155 Interceptor's first line of defense is the ability to saturate the ground behind it with a thick coat of oil. This spray causes the ground to become very slippery and most enemies will not be able to maintain control of their vehicles.
Smoke Screen
Another defensive weapon is the Smoke Screen. When activated, it leaves a trail of heavy smoke that is impossible to navigate through for a brief period of time.
Flamethrower
A new addition in the Interceptor's defensive lineup is the Flamethrower. The Interceptor must be upgraded a few times in order to receive this weapon. The Flamethrower projects two streams of flame behind the car.
9mm Guns
Your Interceptor will come equipped with a pair of 9mm machineguns. The guns are powerful enough to get some of your earliest missions completed, but eventually you'll need more firepower in order to stop NOSTRA.
15mm Guns
With this upgrade, you will notice how much easier some enemies are to destroy. This weapon upgrade allows for faster termination of targets as well as the ability to carry more 15mm ammunition.
25mm Guns
The last upgrade you will receive on your Interceptor's guns is a pair of 25mm guns. IES technicians have concluded that the strength of these guns rivals that of any NOSTRA vehicle's guns.
Unguided Missiles
Advancements in weapons technologies have allowed IES to fit all G-6155 Interceptor's with a standard unguided missile battery. These missiles can only be fired directly in front of the Interceptor, so aim carefully!
Guided Missiles
The Interceptor's first missile upgrade allows its driver to lock on to a target and launch a single missile at it. Depending on the range of the target, missiles can be semi-automatically fired.
Swarmers Missiles
This final missile upgrade allows the Interceptor to fire a salvo of guided missiles at a target. Other enemies (or civilians) within a close proximity of the targeted enemy run the risk of being hit by one of the four missiles that are fired.
EMP
This weapon fires a bolt of electromagnetic energy that is capable of disrupting electrical equipment, rendering it inoperable. The EMP gun is the weapon of choice when it comes to disabling terrorist weapons such as bombs.
Rail Gun
Once an experimental weapon, the Rail Gun is now being added to the later model Type II Interceptors. When fired, the Rail Gun releases a burst of highly charged particles that obliterate any target in its line of fire.
Enemies & Characters
BULLSEYE
Fast and rugged, this all terrain vehicle's gun turret will always find its mark.
ROAD LORD
Hydraulic rams and speed boosters make this bulletproof truck a threat from both side and rear.
SWITCH BLADE
High-speed titanium drills combined with superior agility make this a deadly opponent to drive next to.
MORTAR THING
Four rapid-fire mortars set in an amphibious chassis make this dangerous on land and water. This vehicle is unaffected by oil.
BARREL DUMPER
Especially dangerous in tight quarters, this agile ship dumps barrels of explosives from the rear of the ship.
MAD BOMBER
The sheer number of bombs dropped from this modified helicopter will drive even the best drivers mad.
JUMP JET
Deadly accurate guided missiles and low-level ambushes make this aircraft lethal.
PROTOTYPE
A hybrid of stolen IES and NOSTRA technology, this vehicle's full capabilities are still unknown.
ENFORCER
Bulletproof glass and panels protect this vehicle, while rocket launchers and gatling guns attack whatever is unlucky enough to be around it. A formidable, but not unstoppable foe.
ATTACK HELI
Rotating machine guns mounted to a lightning fast and highly maneuverable combat helicopter.
DR. TORPEDO
Advanced twin hull design fitted with fore and aft torpedo launchers will give a lethal dose of damage.
WATER BLADE
Like its cousin on land, high speed titanium drills can quickly send you to a watery grave.
SLICK
Light armor allows it to stay ahead while leaving a trail of traction stealing fluid behind.
NON-IDENTIFIED AGENTS
Since NOSTRA can be found throughout the globe, be on the lookout for their agents. They tend to occupy whatever vehicles they can, such as this gun-toting motorcycle rider photographed in Venice, Italy.
