I have a silly question about the NTSC Spy vs Spy game
Post Posted: Mon Feb 22, 2010 11:18 pm
A friend and I are trying to figure out if a copy of Spy vs Spy that he has is a PAL release or a NTSC one. The cover is a picture of a a hand holdingthe game and the manual is in the horizontal fashion ( where all the other US games I have are in the vertical layout) and is in English, French, German, and Spanish.

I am of the mindset that the NTSC version has a color picture of the 2 charactors and has the manual int he vertical layout.


Any help would be appreciated.

thanks [/img]

You are correct.

The US card has the full artwork, in Europe the card got the "hand holding the card" art and the cartridge got the full art.

Oh, my god, the Korean artwork makes me think they got the whole Mad Magazine thing completely wrong.

wow, the Korean cover gets a big WTF from me. Are you sure that's Spy vs Spy?

I'd not noticed the groping before. Many Korean games have the same robot/dragon art on the back; the box text seems specific to the game.

The box says 스파이대스파이 which is pronounced "seu pa i dae seu pa i", where "dae" means versus. Google Translate understands 스파이대스파이 perfectly.

ah... those crazy Koreans.

On a slightly related topic, has anybody ever completed this game? How many levels are there?
