My fondest memories of Spy vs Spy was always the little segments on MadTV! Looks like a fun little two player game on the NES.

[@MikeTheGamingRoadWarrior]

I remember MadTV, 😆. That was a good show. Yeah, you should definitely give Spy vs. Spy a try Feral. It's a fun game. Well have another friend play with you and it's better.

[@ArcadeOfKaos]

😮 you never played it? I actually played it back in the day I thought it was good but I have it on a couple emulators I'm pretty sure it's on my famicom handheld and the NES multicart Keith gave me I think you'd like it

[@derekswitzer9624]

awesome!! I remember playing this on the Commodore64 too, lol such a fun game!

[@ArcadeOfKaos]

🎉 I've always wanted a commodore

[@MikeTheGamingRoadWarrior]

Thanks Derek. Oh, never played the Commodore 64 one before. That sounds fun.

[@marsindustries]

Very happy that I stumbled upon this video, I collected MAD magazines and books as a kid and especially loved the Spy vs. Spy series. This game was always fun to rent and I’m glad it’s still getting attention today!

[@MikeTheGamingRoadWarrior]

Thanks Mars Industries. Glad to see I'm not alone when it came to playing this game back in the day. That's cool you collected the magazines and books as a kid. Loved Mad Magazine and the board game of Mad which I owned back in the day.

[@marsindustries]

@@MikeTheGamingRoadWarrior I was going to mention the MAD Magazine board game too! Great memories.

[@stevenuniverse7180]

One of my favorite weekend rentals when I was a kid

[@MikeTheGamingRoadWarrior]

That's cool Steven. I had a friend that would let me borrow this game but if he never owned it then it would be a popular rental for us as well.

[@DrakeValos]

Man, nostalgia. I played this for a little while, I know. Fun stuff.

[@MikeTheGamingRoadWarrior]

Thanks Drake. Glad you had nostalgia for this game as well. Yeah, it was definitely a must have for a sleepover at a friends.

[@g.parkersarcaderoom3194]

Love this ,wish I had all of my old Mad magazines I use to collect, can't find them anymore, great video

[@MikeTheGamingRoadWarrior]

Thanks Greg. Yes, reading Mad Magazines back in the day was enjoyable to read. Even though it was in a grocery store, lol. I do plan on buying a few that I remember as a kid.

[@MrPoestyle]

GREAT video !!!! I love this game and rented it with my buddy for great long weekend sleepovers . I still had some fun playing it by myself a few years ago . But two player is where it's at !!!! I loved reading the Spy VS Spy in MAD Magazine all through the 80's . I was constantly buying MAD and Cracked Magazines . I eventually subscribed to them with my paper route money .

[@ArcadeOfKaos]

😮 make sense cuz you're cracking mad😂

[@MikeTheGamingRoadWarrior]

Nice Poe. Yeah, this was a great sleepover game for sure. I loved reading Mad Magazine back in the day. I never bought them, but read them at my grocery store back in the day. I'd like to pick a few up that I enjoyed as a kid. I also miss the board game which I owned as a kid. Found it at Goodwill when I was a kid.

[@MikeTheGamingRoadWarrior]

@@ArcadeOfKaos 😆

[@MrPoestyle]

@@ArcadeOfKaos 😆 isn't that the truth . I am messed up .

[@MrPoestyle]

@MikeTheGamingRoadWarrior I HAVE the boardgame !!!! My 5th grade teacher had it in the classroom and we played it every time that it rained and we couldn't go outside and play . About 7 years ago I was talking about ot to friends at work and a work friend had it from hos childhood . He brought it into work and gave it to me .

[@FaTBoYs_GaMInG_N_NoNsEnSe]

Awesome video Mike

[@MikeTheGamingRoadWarrior]

Thanks Salty Army 😊.

[@vyen9343]

I always used to rent this game and set up traps for my buddies. Good times! And yeah, that one tune gets repetitive and still sometimes gets stuck in my head!

[@MikeTheGamingRoadWarrior]

I agree vyen. This was a fun game to go against your buddy. Yeah, that music is annoyingly catchy, 😆. Still, I don't mind the tune.

[@dholmlund]

Nice video! You should take a look at Spy vs. Spy 2 & 3!! I've played the third Spy vs. Spy game on the C64! :D

[@MikeTheGamingRoadWarrior]

Thanks dholmlund. Ok, I'll be sure to check out those suggestions. 😊

[@ArcadeOfKaos]

Awesome video Mikey 👍👍💯 now round up the boys let's go find one-eyed Willy's gold 🥇🏆

[@MikeTheGamingRoadWarrior]

Thanks Kaos. I'm glad you enjoyed the video.

[@MrPoestyle]

Totally different soundtrack on the Sega Master System . Fun game however tou play it .

[@MikeTheGamingRoadWarrior]

I saw your video for the Master System on it. Yeah, it's definitely different.

[@KeiNova]

Would be cool to see you cover the PS2/Xbox game too.

[@MikeTheGamingRoadWarrior]

I need to pick one of those versions up. I need to play that game. Yeah, I might be able to cover that game on my channel as well. Thanks for the suggestion KeiNova.

[@billymountiii5788]

0:10 - what movie or show episode is that clip from?

[@MikeTheGamingRoadWarrior]

Hi Billy. Not sure of the show since I was looking for lawn dart commercials and I found that on Google, lol. The only thing I know is that its from a CW show. BTW, I like your Avatar. Its from the Thriller movie with Christina. I own the 4k version of this film with the slip cover. Great revenge movie.

[@billymountiii5788]

@@MikeTheGamingRoadWarrior Sweet!

[@Riz2336]

I always thought this game was kind of cool but when I tried playing it I got confused really quick and then just quit

[@MikeTheGamingRoadWarrior]

It helps having the manual with it but it really shines when you play it with another friend Riz. I didn't understand what the other items do with the exception of the traps. After reading what to do it made it easier for me to play the game. I hope you'll give it more of a chance Riz.
