Spy vs Spy
About the Game
MAD magazine’s comic strip of the same name comes to life in this game which was designed for one or two players. The split-screen shows both spies at the same time. Play with a friend or against the machine. The black spy and the white spy are out to outsmart each other before the time bell rings.
Standout Features
- Find the needed objects (money, passport, secret plans and airport door key) by searching rooms in the embassy, which include desks, file cabinets and other furniture.
- Traps can be disarmed with objects found in rooms (a water bucket from a firebox on the wall will disarm the bomb in the prior example).
- When all the items are together in the secret briefcase, head for the airport door.
Modes & Ways to Play
Player support includes Same/Split-Screen and 1-2 Players.
Presentation & Atmosphere
Foil your opponent by setting creative booby traps in the various rooms (a bomb in a dresser drawer, for instance).
