005
005 is an action arcade game released by Sega in 1981. Players control a spy agent tasked with collecting briefcases filled with secret documents scattered across the playfield, then safely delivering them to a safe house. Enemy soldiers and vehicles patrol the area, and the player must avoid or evade them — contact results in losing a life. The game supports two players taking turns. Levels are viewed from a top-down perspective, with the environment featuring streets, buildings, and patrol routes. As the game progresses, enemy patrols become faster and more aggressive. The player has no direct combat ability and must rely entirely on evasion and route planning to succeed.
