A Famicom adaptation of First Star's Spy vs Spy, here redressed in a tropical setting and published by Kemco in 1986. This split-screen espionage duel, playable locally, never left Japan under this title, while the Western franchise circulated on other platforms. Its interest comes from this regional divergence and its status as a distinct Japanese version of a game known elsewhere, more than from high scarcity.
