Spy Vs. Spy: The Island Caper

Those MADcap spies are back again with their cut-throat tactics in Spy Vs. Spy: The Island Caper look destined to repeat the success of Spy Vs. Spy.

The game is set on the deserted tropical paradise of Spy Island. A top secret XJ4.5 missile has crash-landed.

You must find the three parts of the missile, re-build it, and then escape from the island by submarine.

Spy Vs. Spy II: The Island Caper

The mission is hampered by the rival spy and the fact that the island is dominated by an active volcano which is about to erupt.

As with the original Spy Vs. Spy game, the Black and White spies are constantly at each other's throats. With bombs and booby traps, they cause each other untold grief.

The game again features "Simulvision", a split screen display showing the activities of each of the spies. Occasionally, they move onto the same part of the island and then a punch-up usually starts.

The cartoon graphics are every bit as good as on Spy Vs. Spy and, with seven levels of action, you'll find it a real challenge.
