Spy vs. Spy is a video game developed by Vicious Cycle Software and published by Global Star Software. The game is based on the MAD magazine's titular comic strip. The game features the two spies ("Black" and "White") in a unique story mode plus two other game modes ("Modern" and "Classic") and a multiplayer mode for up to 4 players. A GameCube version was planned but it was cancelled. The overall gameplay is a modernized version of the older Spy vs. Spy series of games in 3D environments. In this single-player mode the player is able to choose between Black Spy or White Spy to complete a variety of missions filled with puzzles and a cast of enemies including the enemy spy all of which are AI-controlled. The story has been developed to be like an extended episode of the 1960s cartoon with a modern twist. The choice of spy does not matter –– the player will still receive the same weapons and gadgets on either campaign. Likewise also there are the same missions each way. The main story in this mode revolves around the two spies trying to stop the superweapon of an evil general and trying to outsmart each other along the way.
