OH MY GOD I NEARLY HAD A HEART ATTACK WHEN I READ THIS

In a move that's guaranteed to bring a tear to the eye of hardened retro gamers, the classic Spy vs Spy cartoon is to make a return to the world of videogames.
TDK Interactive is planning to reintroduce the two warring characters, The Black Spy and The White Spy, on "next generation gaming console systems". The two characters originated from a cartoon in cult US tome MAD Magazine, in which the two secret agents spend their entire time trying to dispose of each other Tom and Jerry style.
Originally published by First Star Software in 1984 for the Atari 4/800, C-64 and Apple II computers, Spy vs Spy was the world's first ever split-screen multiplayer game. Players moved from room to room collecting items, setting traps and engaging in hand to hand combat.

Amazing game, Spy Vs Spy 3: Artic Antics was utter, utter class.
Although the first two weren’t bad either!
I think the second game in the series, The Island Caper, was prolly my second fave of the series. I never really much liked the first game; the setting (a foreign embassy) never really struck me as being that good.
In SvsS 3 the best thing in the world was setting a row of bombs, then placing one of the required items (key card, rocket fuel pack etc) on the other side of the bombs. Then you retreat with the remote plunger detonator, and waiting for your opponent to try and get across – excellent stuff.
Bet the make a complete feck up of the remake. :-)
Get it on an emulator and experience it as it was meant to be played. In fact, I may do just that when I get home. :-)
