Hey guys. I've been trying to find this one game for something to the tune of about 2 years now. I played it on either NES, SEGA, or SNES, but I cant remember the title for the life of me! I played this game somewhere in between 1993 and 1999, so I know for a fact it was not created after '99. I wish I could sing (hum) for you the theme song because I remember that clearly. But I'll do my best with a description.
First level/area you drove a car, viewed close up from the sky (looking down similar to the spyhunter series) avoiding hazards collecting power ups/items and MAYBE destroying enemies (memory is fuzzy on that last part).
Next level/area you play as a man, side scrolling from left to right much like a platformer, and I think you shot at your enemies here. You jumped over them and on/over crates and stuff, but you were outside.
Next level/area you're in a speedboat playing the same way you played the car level/area (I remember the stage timer here particularly because I remember losing to it often here, but I think all the levels were timed as well). Also, I remember that the stage wrapped around if you kept going to the left or right. Dont remember if the car stage was like that though.
Next level/area you were back to side scrolling as the man again. I remember when you played on foot, the area you were in was a cityscape. This could be either of the side scrolling stages or both of them.
Next level/area I remember, you were hang gliding through a rocky region with the stage side scrolling left to right (side view like the Gradius games). Thats the last stage I remember because thats where I always died as a kid, but I only made it there a hand full of times anyway.
Notes: It might have been spy themed but dont quote me on it. I may have the first and second levels switched, and subsequently the third and fourth switched as well. But I am certain the level/stage format alternated between being on foot scrolling sideways, and being in a vehicle scrolling bottom to top. There was no horizon line in the vehicle stages that I have played, and I don't think you were prohibited from going backwards within any of the stages with the exception of the hang gliding stage. I dont remember if there were any bosses.
I did my best providing as much detail as I can remember. I never got past the hang gliding stage so I dont know if my details will up hold after that. If I was unclear at any point feel free to let me know. I know for a fact that if I see this game again I will know it. So please, if anyone can help me by supplying any possible titles, I would be ever so grateful!
