Assassin: Special Edition

About

Assassin: Special Edition is a 1994 Amiga shooter that mixes projectile-based combat with platforming challenges. You play a contract killer deployed behind enemy lines to sabotage a power source and eliminate the target Midan. The laser gun is your main tool for clearing enemies between leaps across tightrope-like platforms and dodging environmental hazards. The pace alternates between methodical stealth sections and chaotic firefights as you progress through industrial levels filled with patrols and traps. This re-release tweaks original mechanics with adjusted difficulty curves and refined controls while keeping the core assassination objective intact. As one of the earliest Amiga shooters to blend horizontal and vertical movement, it carved a niche for action-platforming enthusiasts on the platform. The single-player focus and straightforward mission structure make it a brisk pick for retro fans looking for no-frills projectile-based platforming.
