The MAD Magazine comic strip rival agents as a trap-laying NES game. Set traps, disarm them, eliminate the opponent. Original and fun multiplayer concept. Nostalgic and still enjoyable.

Collector interest

Kemco's NES adaptation of Mad Magazine's Spy vs Spy comic strip, released in the United States in 1988. Its top-down two-player mode built on trap-laying earns it a small reputation as an early local competitive game, set apart from the era's mass of platformers. The NTSC cartridge stays common and affordable. Collector interest rests mainly on the Mad license and its board-game-like character rather than any real scarcity, keeping demand modest but loyal.
