Cloak & Dagger DescriptionAgent X must progress through a series of floors to retrieve a set of stolen plans and destroy Dr. Boom's underground bomb factory. Avoid the explosives, bomb converters, forklifts, robot guards, acid pits, and death-ray shooting eyeballs. The game was featured in the motion picture of the same name.Know anything more about this game? Cabinet InformationThe cabinet side art shows Agent X jumping into the elevator, narrowly escaping enemy fire and the smoke of exploding bombs.ConversionAtari designed the game as a conversion kit for Williams' games like Defender, Stargate, Joust and Robotron: 2084. The wiring harness supplied with the kit plugs into the existing power supply in these games and reuses the Williams' sound board (without the CPU and ROM) for audio amplification.Game IntroductionAgent X, complete with trenchcoat, Bogie hat and briefcase, hurries through a series of floors to retrieve stolen plans and destroy Dr. Boom's underground bomb factory. The hero descends in a special elevator and on each floor he encounters conveyor belts with moving explosives, bomb converters, forklifts, robot guards, acid pits, and death-ray shooting eyeballs. On the final level, Agent X meets the notorious Dr. Boom himself.At this point, however, the game is only half over. You then must guide Agent X all the way back up to the surface. There are new obstacles and opponents to deal with, and every level has a huge hole in the middle where the bomb exploded. Once the hero has made it all the way out, the screen shows a quick glimpse of the "top secret" plans and the game is over. You also receive 1 free credit after you are finished viewing the plans.

VAPS members are totally independent of VAPS and the International Arcade Museum, and we are unable to recommend, endorce, or guarantee any person or company selling games or game parts. Rarity is NOT necessarily an indication of value. Some common games show up as very rare here because collectors don't want them (they are common because arcade operators might be sitting on tons of them in warehouses), while some fairly scarce games are grabbed by collectors every time they show up. Additionally, some games made in the last 5 years are still making money for operators and are thus not yet affordable to the typical collector. For a clue to value, compare how many people have this game vs. how many people want this game and then click on the eBay links to help determine an accurate price range. TriviaThe working title for the game was Agent X -- it's silkscreened on the PCB -- but the name was changed to coincide with the release of the film Cloak & Dagger. Scenes from this very game were also featured in the movie of the same name. It is also said that in the game, Agent X's real name is Jack Flack, the same name of the character in the movie played by Dabney Coleman.eBay ListingsClick here to automatically search eBay's Arcade, Jukebox, and Pinball categories for the Cloak & Dagger Videogame machine and items related to it.Click here to automatically search eBay's Arcade, Jukebox, and Pinball categories for machines and parts made by Atari.
