I confess, I always liked Secret Agent more than Crystal Caves...

oh, uh, *ahem*, another classic Apogee platformer returns! And in good form, lovingly updated with a fresh coat of SVGA paint and just the right amount of QOL improvements. The overall game mechanics are wholly the same, though, so if ever you felt the itch to get into an authentic 90s PC platformer, here's your chance. Now to cross my fingers and hope for an eventual Duke Nukum HD...

And the music! While being a new addition, it actually matches the kind of Adlib music you'd have heard in an Apogee platformer like Commander Keen or Duke Nukem II. Unlike Crystal Caves HD, where the music (while good!) sounds more like it'd be suited for the NES, Secret Agent HD's music sounds like it could have been pulled straight from an as-yet undiscovered re-release of the original. Retro musicians take note!
