Move Ops (SNES)

MOVE OPS is a homebrew game for the Super Nintendo. Sneak through five buildings, take the KEY on every floor and get out by the EXIT without being seen.

Every guard carries a light. You can see exactly where they look. Wait for the cone to pass, slip behind them, hide in a locker and move on. One mistake and the chase begins.

🧩 How to Play

• Take the KEY and walk into the EXIT to clear the mission.
• Inside a light cone you can be seen. The !? meter fills, and when it is full the guard chases you. If he reaches you, you are CAUGHT and the mission starts again.
• Walls and boxes block the light. Hide in a LOCKER until the guard gives up. SHADOWS slow the meter down.
• CAMERAS call the guards, LASERS set off the alarm, DOGS smell you up close and ELITE guards are fast and see farther.
• Take the blue CARD to open blue DOORS. Some missions have a TIME LIMIT.
• Each mission is rated GHOST (never seen), SILENT (no alert) or DONE. Find the secret FILES too.
