Hello
I recall playing two games on the Amiga or maybe the Commodore 64.
The first was a game involving 2 characters running around a house. The
screen would show different levels on it and 2 human controlled
characters could be moved around to attempt to solve puzzles in order to
escape from the establishment.
The puzzles involved pushing buttons to open a door or turn off an
electric wall or similar deadly device.
Second game was a top to bottom and side to side on occasion scroll game
with one or two players cooperative. I think it was Escape from New York
but I cannot seem to find it and was wondering if I was correct.
You could collect power ups with different types of fire somewhat like
Contra. Lots of bullets flying around the screen.
Cheers
Steve

For the second game I am not so sure. Maybe 'Chaos engine'?

Let me correct myself. The second game is probably 'New York Warriors'.

The New York Warriors was right on the money. Thanks
First one was not Spy vs Spy. But thanks.
To expand on the premise of the first game, you could either play single
player or 2 player. You had to move around the screen in a cooperative
manner in order to get from one screen(level) to the next but sometime
you had to solve one puzzle on one screen which would give you the
ability to get to another part of the screen to allow you to solve a
problem on a previous screen.
Thanks for the help with New York Warriors.
