First Spear Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Mad Magazine is no more (https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/mad-magazine-effectively-close-67-years-1222636), which got me thinking about “Spy vs Spy” which was fun on so many systems. I think with the right designer thinking through the play, and the right developer at the keyboard, an Intellivision version could be a reality. Of course, to respect the copyright, it could not *be* that game, but a competitive similar 2-player battle strategy game would be fun and a big seller, maybe more than the last several commercial releases we have seen. Yes, my ideas eclipse my talent, which is not really saying much. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMBerzerk Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Yes..yes...yes!!! I agree! The Intv would have been perfect for this title... rather than holding down the joystick button to choose the "trap". Just press it on the number pad. I agree! Great title for the Intv and Amico.

+stupus Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Oh no! No more MAD! I collected mad for years, it will be a sad new world without mad, thats where most of my knowledge and learnedness came from! I still have all my issues, including #1 and some of the comics before it was a magazine. Great idea on a spy vs spy game though, I loved it on the c64 bitd!

First Spear Posted July 6, 2019 Author Share Posted July 6, 2019 Slightly OT, I just learned about this game for the VCS. I think a "plussed up" version would make a good Intellivision mini-game (maybe for the next IntyBASIC compilation cart)? I could get the maestros at Intv Prime to come up with some background music for any programmer to do the dev work*. *There are 2 other music commitments that have to be cleared first, but when they are done this could be next.

+intellivotion Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 I would love a game that is NOT Spy vs. Spy on Intellivision, but looks quite the same to it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
