Spy Vs. Spy
(First Star, 1984, Apple //e)
 One
of the best Apple //e games ever is equally one of Techtite's
choices for the Top 50
Multimedia Classics, of all time! Based on the classic
Mad Magazine comic strip, this is a battle of wits between two
pointy-faced cartoon spies. You are on the top half of the screen,
while the bottom screen is your opponent (either computer controlled,
or a friend playing alongside you). The object was to get the
secret plans, get the plane ticket, and get out, before your
opponent. Meanwhile, both spy hopefuls could set any number of
cartoon-caliber traps, behind doors or in cabinets. You could
even protect an item you found this way, by putting it inside
a drawer, then setting a trap. Stay alert, though; counter devices
to disarm traps are scattered here and there, and a smart enough
adversary could get the goods and run to the secret exit (yes,
you had to search for that, too). While simple enough, it was
a great arcade type game, and very addictive. It was even recently
ported to the Game Boy handheld system, which allows even better
two player options (via the optional "game link" cable).
Then or now, it's a fantastic game concept, and a lot of fun.
