Spy Vs. Spy

The first release on this new budget label sees MAD Magazine's Black and White spies battling it out against one another in the hunt for a set of secret documents in an abandoned office building. Each spy has a selection of booby trap devices such as bombs, ropes and springs with which to stop the opposing agent from collecting all of the required items (plans, passport, travellers' cheques and the ignition key for the waiting plane) before you do. All this against a strict time limit which decreases each time you're nabbed by the enemy.

What we have in Spy Vs. Spy is a simple idea but a very addictive game. Split-screen arcade adventures usually can't fail, and this one is no exception - especially in two-player mode. Things get very hectic after a while and when the two spies are in the same room, the screens merge to become a slapstick beat-'em-up with clubs - great fun.

C64

An hilarious slapstick comedy classic, sporting superb one or two-player action and an utterly fab tune. A C64 classic that simply shouldn't be missed.

Spectrum

A cracker of a game, especially when two players are taking part - Spy Vs. Spy will go down a bomb!

Amstrad

Fast and furious sabotage antics which CPC owners can't afford to miss.
