video game
Mata Hari is an adventure video game. It was released on November 21, , in German-speaking territories.[2] The game was worked on by ex-LucasArts alumni Hal Barwood and Noah Falstein.[3]
Plot
Real-life Mata Hari embarks on a fictional adventure in which she becomes a spy and uncovers sensitive military secrets, all in the midst of the outbreak of World War I.[4][5]
Gameplay
Primarily a point and click adventure game, the title also includes various minigames.
For instance players have to perform exotic dances in order to earn cash. The game allowed players to skip these dance-oriented sections.
Overall: An excellent game, with remarkable artwork and a good story line, was marred slightly by a tediousness in unnecessary traveling and some extended dialogues. In the early 's, a Dutch exotic dancer named Margaretha Zelle was gaining popularity. Dancing under the stage name of Mata Hari, she quickly caught the eye of many high-ranking politicians and military officials. As the winds of World War were approaching, and international travel get more difficult, she enjoyed the privileges of being a Dutch citizen who could travel freely, as the Netherlands remained neutral.Development
The game was developed by Hanover-based studio 4Head Studio/Cranberry Movie. DTP Entertainment published the game worldwide on its Anaconda label. A press release on April 26, , listed a free date of Q1 for Germany, Switzerland and Austria.[4][5][6]
The core plan, a spy game with Mata Hari at the turn of the last century, was created by Christopher Kellner and Marc Buro.
Buro, a producer at DTP, approached both Barwood and Falstein separately and pitched them a game based on Mata Hari, which after discussing the opportunity, felt was "right up our alley".
