Spy Hunter (ARC)

When the game starts only a few bars are played of the Peter Gunn Theme before it stops. From then on, the theme is played again every time you enter a weapons van. The song continues to play on a loop until you crash.


Spy Hunter (NES)

The music from the NES port behaves identically to the arcade version. Also, because of its length, the song is only looped once in the recording.
