,
CLOAK & DAGGER is your code name for
new profits in an easily installable kit that
can revive a low-earning machine at a very
reasonable cost. It will put an end to un-
productive space in your locations by con-
verting a wide base of older product.
CLOAK & DAGGER is an explosive con-
version because it is really an explosive
new game! The spy business may never
recover from the adventures and misad-
ventures of Agent X™ as he carries out his
mission to retrieve stolen plans and
destroy dastardly Dr. Boom's subterranean
bomb factory. Our masked hero descends
floor by floor to the depths of Dr. Boom's
laboratory in a special elevator.
As Agent X exits from the elevator, he
must make his way carefully but quickly
across the playfield to another elevator on
the other side. Each floor presents him
with a configuration of conveyor belts mov-
ing green unarmed explosives which he
can pick up to earn points and red armed
explosives that prove deadly on contact.
At the center of the screen, a double
coiled fuse to a giant bomb is ticking down
the game seconds for each level. Agent X
can light the fuse in a rush for bonus points
but must be able to make his escape
before the bomb ignites.
What follows is actually a madcap video
cartoon! As Agent X begins to descend,
he mugs for the player by making one of
several animated gestures. His expression
corresponds to player performance to
reflect the experience in game play they've
just come through together! A message
flashes across the elevator to give helpful
hints on the next go-around.
This degree of interactive quality per-
sonalizes the action while a variety of
opponents and multiple strategies involved
keep the screen busy and game play
intensified ... all adding up to explosive
player appeal!
To make matters more maniacal , Dr.
Boom has placed explosive mines on
every fourth floor. However, if adept, Agent
X can pick up a Secret Map Box on each
of the three preceding floors which gives
him one-third of the safe pathway across
the minefield.
Once Agent X succeeds in descending
to Dr. Boom's lab, he must retrieve the Top
Secret Plans which are surrounded by an
electrical arc and guarded by super
robots. Plans in hand, he must work his
way back up through the floors. And at the
very highest level, it is rumored that he will
encounter the notorious Dr. Boom himself
and catch a glimpse of the contents of the
plans. Mission accomplished. Over and
.
out. Who was that masked man anyway?!
The CLOAK & DAGGER Kit, available in
two forms, includes all the game printed
circuit boards, control mechanisms, other
hardware, graphic materials, and instruc-
tion manual needed for easy conversion.
The first kit can be used to retrofit
DEFENDER with the RF cage mounted to
the inside of the cabinet. The second kit
can be used to convert STARGATE,
ROBOTRON:2084, and JOUST with the
RF cage mounted to the back door.
Watch for the Universal movie release of
CLOAK & DAGGER coming Summer,
1984! It will feature Agent X as one of the
main characters and show some actual
game play.
