Play True Lies (Beta) Online

True Lies on the Super Nintendo came out in 1994, developed by Beam Software. It was part of that wave of movie tie-ins that tried to capture the over-the-top action of the era, though it never quite reached the same level of recognition as some other titles on the platform.

You control Harry Tasker, moving through side-scrolling levels, shooting terrorists with a variety of weapons, from pistols to grenade launchers. The main goal is to stop a nuclear threat, which involves clearing rooms of enemies, disarming bombs, and occasionally driving a snowmobile or helicopter in clunky vehicle sections. The pacing is fast, with frequent enemy ambushes and environmental hazards, and the difficulty can be unforgiving, especially with limited continues. It feels like a straightforward, explosive run-and-gun that leans heavily on its source material for charm.
