Full description:Step into the shoes of Harry Tasker in True Lies, a classic action shooting game from 1994. This top-view game, developed by Beam Software and published by Acclaim and LJN, is based on the popular film of the same name. Navigate through nine different stages - each with unique goals and challenges - to foil the terrorist plot of Salim Abu Aziz. Featuring unique play mechanics and power-ups, this game will keep you on the edge of your seat. Experience different versions on Super Nintendo Entertainment System, Sega Mega Drive/Genesis, Sega Game Gear, and the Game Boy. Each version offers unique gameplay elements, but all retain the classic thrill of the original. With a health gauge, limited lives, and a variety of weapons, the player's skill and strategy will be tested. Be careful not to harm civilians during shoot-outs, or you'll face penalties. Enjoy the retro graphics and 'stills' from the movie that add to the nostalgic experience. The Game Boy and Game Gear versions are slightly simplified, but still packed full of action.
