Description
Dive back into the nostalgic world of 80s gaming with Spy vs. Spy! First published by First Star Software in 1984, this game is a cherished part of retro gaming history. Spy vs. Spy is a one-of-a-kind two-player, split-screen game inspired by the slapstick humor of MAD Magazine's cartoon strip. It's a game of action, strategy, and well-laid traps.Set in an intricately designed embassy, the arena consists of interconnected rooms that grow in number with the game's difficulty level. The ultimate goal? Defeat your opponent as many times as possible, while gathering all the items required to exit the game before your personal countdown timer runs out.Adding a layer of strategy are the limited traps and remedies available to each spy. Traps can be set on furniture and doors, which when triggered, results in comically animated sequences of the spy being zapped, exploded, and more. The game's charm lies in its clever blend of action and strategy, making it an enduring favorite among retro game enthusiasts.
Game Controls
