Play Spy vs Spy Online

Spy vs Spy came out on the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1986, published by First Star Software. It was a different kind of game for the NES, based on the long-running comic strip from MAD Magazine, and it stood out for its focus on two-player competition and sneaky strategy rather than straightforward action.

You control either the Black Spy or the White Spy, moving through the rooms of an embassy to collect items for your escape. The main goal is to gather a briefcase, passport, and key, then get to the exit airplane before your opponent does, or before a time bomb detonates. The signature mechanics are setting traps, like bombs and springs, in furniture for the other spy to trigger, and the frantic search for useful items hidden in drawers and cabinets. The pacing is tense and quick, with the constant threat of being outsmarted or blown up, and it feels like a hectic game of cat and mouse where every decision matters.
