Profile

Secret Service is a Data East pinball game known for its praised layout design. The game has been noted for mechanical similarities to other titles like Mousin' Around, particularly regarding trap mechanisms. However, the game suffers from a game-breaking rule bug that may be addressable through a Data East ROM fix, limiting its playability despite its otherwise strong design.
