7cb1d79195 Laura and Remington are hired by three video game creators to find their missing partner, who has apparently disappeared with a large portion of the company&#39;s assets and their newest video game. Very good, early first season episode (third episode aired) of RS (the first season episodes were easily the best of the series). <br/><br/>Special recognition to guest star George D. Wallace (as Emery Arnok - the proverbial third wheel), who provided a great comic counterpart to Pierce Brosnan.<br/><br/>Also, part of the plot pays homage to North By Northwest, perhaps Hitchcock&#39;s best film.<br/><br/>I loved these light, fun episodes. <br/><br/>Peter Scolari (of Bosom Buddies and Newhart) also stars. It&#39;s also cool to see some 1980s &quot;old school&quot; video games (Centipede is clearly visible in one scene). It is already the third episode and we already get a romantic clinch between Laura and Remington Steele which signifies a &#39;will they/won&#39;t they&#39; relationship even though he still cannot be trusted. It must be all that hair lacquer Brosnan has got on.<br/><br/>Murphy Michaels is already a spare part shunted off to Vegas in this episode. A new older character of Emery Arnok is the comedy sidekick herehe keeps stumbling into dead bodies.<br/><br/>Laura and Remington are hired by a video games company to find their missing partner who stole company assets just before they are about to be purchased by a bigger corporation.<br/><br/>It was fun to see all the vintage arcade games from the period and the mystery went along nicelythe missing partner mirrored the fictional Remington Steele a bit.
