Retrotopia Talks True Lies

from Retrotopia: Another Video Game Podcast · host Alan, Brian, and Sam

Welcome to another episode of Retrotopia: Another Video Game Podcast. This is a show where we, Alan, Brian, and Sam, get together to discuss video games from years gone by. We like to look at video games from the perspective of lifelong gamers and how they hold up in the retro sphere. This week we are discussing True Lies, a Super Nintendo Entertainment System game released in 1995 that puts players in the role of secret agent Harry Tasker as he battles terrorists across a series of intense top-down action missions inspired by the hit Arnold Schwarzenegger film. Armed with an arsenal that includes pistols, shotguns, and machine guns, players must carefully manage ammo, rescue hostages, defuse bombs, and clear out enemies while navigating office buildings, labs, and other dangerous locations. Known for its surprisingly challenging gameplay and tactical approach to combat, True Lies stands out on the SNES for its fast-paced action and mission-based structure that rewards precision and strategy as much as firepower.
