Share this clip

This video is a complete longplay (full walkthrough) of the 1988 retro tactical action game Hostages (developed by Infogrames) running on the Commodore Amiga.

Summary of Content & Gameplay

The video showcases a full playthrough of a high-stakes counter-terrorism operation where a GIGN commando squad is tasked with infiltrating an embassy taken over by terrorists to rescue hostages.

The walkthrough covers all main stages of the tactical operation:

  1. Phase 1: Sniper Placement

    • Squad members dodge searchlights and hostile fire in a side-scrolling sequence to reach strategic sniper positions in surrounding buildings.

  2. Phase 2: Sniping & Rappelling

    • Snipers target terrorists visible in the embassy windows to cover the insertion team.

    • Commandos rappel down the outer walls of the embassy, breaking through windows to breach the building.

  3. Phase 3: Room-by-Room Embassy Infiltration

    • A first-person / pseudo-3D maze navigation phase inside the building where soldiers sweep room-by-room, eliminate armed terrorists, and secure hostages.

  4. Mission Debrief / Completion

    • The video finishes with the end-game summary screen evaluating the success of the rescue operation.

This video provides a complete play-through from insertion to final extraction, demonstrating how to solve each section without losing squad members or hostages.
