Spy vs. Spy III: Arctic Antics, released in 1986 for DOS, is a clever and humorous game that continues the rivalry of the iconic Mad Magazine spies in a new, chilly setting. Set in the Arctic, this installment of the Spy vs. Spy series adds a frosty twist to the classic espionage and trap-setting gameplay.

Players choose to play as either the white or black spy, with the goal of outwitting their opponent in a race to collect items and escape the level. The game is set in an Arctic base, with rooms and corridors where players can set up traps to thwart their rival. The spies must also contend with the harsh Arctic environment, adding another layer of challenge to the gameplay.

The game retains the comic mischief and strategy of the previous Spy vs. Spy titles. Players lay and evade traps, engage in hand-to-hand combat, and strategically plan their movements to outsmart their opponent. The addition of environmental hazards, like freezing temperatures and slippery ice, makes timing and decision-making even more crucial.

Spy vs. Spy III: Arctic Antics is a fun and engaging game for players who enjoy a mix of strategy, action, and humor. The unique setting, combined with the classic spy-versus-spy gameplay, offers an entertaining experience that tests both cunning and quick reflexes. The game is a great pick for fans of the series and those looking for a lighthearted approach to strategy gaming.
