Spy vs Spy: The Island Caper is that chaotic NES game where you and a buddy play as rival spies trying to out-sneak each other on some tropical island. You’re both scrambling to grab key items—like a briefcase or a plane ticket—while setting traps to slow the other guy down. Tripwires, bombs, the works. Mess with them before they mess with you.

The whole thing feels like a cartoonish backstab-fest, which makes sense since it’s based on those old MAD Magazine comics. First time I played, I spent half the match falling into my own traps, but once you get the hang of it, the mind games get ridiculous. That moment when you fake them out by doubling back to grab the last item? Chef’s kiss.

It’s basically a race with extra sabotage. Just don’t expect deep strategy—it’s pure, fast-paced nonsense in the best way.
