NES Works #90: Spy Vs. Spy / MagMax / Seicross
🕑 Added 2022-05-11 13:08:57 +0000 UTCI would like to say I have a look at some timeless NES masterpieces in store for you, but that would be a lie. None of these games—Spy Vs. Spy, MagMax, or Seicross—make for very impressive releases in the year 1988. Whatever appeal they may have had probably came through better in 1986, when they all made their Famicom debut... or perhaps in 1984, when they originated on other platforms.
Oh well. On the plus side, the SG-1000 book is coming along very nicely, with about 98% of photos and screenshots placed. That doesn't do anything to help these particular games, but it does at least make me feel pretty good about things.

I had a copy for the C64 and I did not understand it...but I tried, because I loved the comics.

To aid in a little cross promotion, Spy Vs. Spy would be one of my picks for the recent Bad Games We Love episode of Retronauts. I was gifted it at a fairly young age and though I knew it wasn't good even back then, beggars couldn't be choosers and I forced myself to enjoy it, even when my brothers weren't around to play head-to-head. Not exactly a misunderstood classic, but I have a fondness for it

"A courageous battle against copyright." Now there's a quote for the box.
