Spy vs Spy announced for iOS
Warner Bros announced Spy vs Spy today, an iOS remake of the 1984 classic.
The classic Spy vs Spy is hitting iOS devices this summer, based on the comic strip of the same name from MAD Magazine. The game is based on the 1984 title for Apple II, Atari 400/800, and Commodore 64, but offers updated visuals and a new soundtrack. And purists will be able to play with the original sound and graphics, as well.
As you might expect from Spy vs Spy, the goal is to set up a variety of traps to take down your spy opponent. The campaign mode includes the original eight "embassies" along with 16 new ones, or you can play online and local multiplayer for human opponents. The game also offers leaderboards and GameCenter achievements.
The game is being developed by Robots & Pencils, and published by Warner Bros. Take a look at the first gameplay trailer below.

Awesome! I posted about Spy vs Spy a few days ago, that retro mode in the video brings back so many memories. Can't wait!

I still remember playing SvS with my sister on the C-64.

There was actually at least 3 of them. The original one with the airport escape, SvS 2: Island Caper (where you built the rocket and escaped on the sub), and SvS 3: Artic Antics. I think I spent the most time with the second one -- lining up about 20 of the pitfall traps so when the a person would pop out of the hole and fall into another one next to it. Dirty :)

Spy VS Spy 2: The Island Caper was the first game I ever ordered (from a C64 magazine) and was the best of the 3 Spy VS Spy games IMO.
The 1 VS. 1 multiplayer with the sliding difficulty selector was great and one of the first games I played where the AI felt like a real person.
Curious to see how the iOS controls work with setting traps, like the lasso in the tree trap (which was sometimes tricky with a joystick and I often triggered it on myself.

I remember renting the first one on the NES a bunch of times.
