Play President Is Missing, The Online

The President Is Missing came out for the Amiga in 1988, developed by Arcadia Systems and published by MicroIllusions. It was one of those late 80s action games that tried to blend a few different ideas, fitting right into the experimental spirit of the platform at the time. You don't see many games built around a political kidnapping scenario, and it stood out for its premise even if the execution was rough around the edges.

You control a special agent tasked with rescuing the president from a heavily guarded enemy base. The game plays out across multiple screens, each one a self-contained area full of patrolling guards, security cameras, and locked doors. You can choose to sneak past enemies or engage them directly with your limited ammunition, though ammo conservation quickly becomes a major concern. The objective is straightforward: find the president and escape, but the level design is maze-like and punishing, with instant death lurking around many corners. It feels tense and unforgiving, a game that demands patience and careful observation more than quick reflexes.
