Spy Hunter is a game with dual identity as both a classic arcade game and a solid-state pinball machine. Designed by George Gomez at Midway, the arcade version was inspired by James Bond themes and featured a car with weapons and music-dependent gameplay. The 1984 Bally pinball version is noted as one of the worst-designed pinball machines ever made due to its nonsensical playfield layout, though it gained significance as Kerry's first solid-state restoration project, which deepened their engagement with pinball restoration.
