Plot[edit]

The blueprints have been secured at three island strongholds of D.V.S. Agent 006½'s current mission: recover the blueprints. Each island stronghold contains 15 radar installations..all fifteen must be taken down before Agent 006½ can make his way into the D.V.S. fortress on the island, where the blueprints are held.
Mission 1: The Hunt for Red Rock Rover[edit]
The first island stronghold. Agent 006½ parachutes in, and after a successful mission, takes a hidden boat to the second island.
Mission 2: Kill Again Island[edit]
The second island stronghold. After a successful mission, Agent 006½ slips away in scuba gear.
Mission 3: Dr. No Body[edit]

Gameplay[edit]
The player controls the titular secret agent, known only under his codename 'Agent 006½'. Each game is divided into 16 levels; there is no fixed order in which to play them, but the 'main fortress' cannot be accessed until the other 15 levels have all been completed.

Each level is a labyrinthine structure. The objective in each level is to locate and destroy a radar dish, then exit the level. A bundle of dynamite is needed to blow open the exit doors. Agent 006½ is typically hindered by locked doors which require keys to be opened; laser beams which kill instantly, block access to areas of the level, and must be deactivated by finding a floppy disk and bringing it to a computer terminal; human and robotic enemies, most of which can be killed with Agent 006½'s rifle; and environmental hazards such as spikes or pools of acid and water. Agent 006½ begins a level with three health points. If he loses all three, he dies, and the level restarts, with the player's score reset to what he began the level with. Enemies and certain hazards detract one health point when they hit Agent 006½, while others (such as landmines) kill him instantly.
The player may need to make use of pushable barrels to reach higher areas. Some of the levels also contain special goggles, which, when collected, cause a number of platforms to become visible, allowing access to previously unreachable areas.
Power-ups include ammunition, sneakers that increase Agent 006½'s speed for a short duration, and a gun which allows faster shooting. There are also items which merely give points. When a human enemy is killed, he is replaced by a gravestone; the player can either destroy it (earning 100 points) or pay his respects (earning 1,000 points). Each level also includes the letters 'S', 'P' and 'Y'. The player is awarded 10,000 points if he picks them up in the right order, and 25,000 points if he completes the level without taking any damage. There are also items that cause ailments like a ½ item that slows Agent 006½'s speed for a short duration, and a question mark which reverses the function of the left and right keys for a short duration.
Cultural references[edit]
The names of the episodes are references to popular movies and television shows: 'The Hunt for Red Rock Rover' is a pun on the film The Hunt for Red October, 'Kill Again Island' is a play on Gilligan's Island and 'Dr. No Body' is a reference to the film Dr. No. The default high score list consists of popular fictional spies such as Jim Phelps and Maxwell Smart.
