Summary
Spy Fox (voiced by Bob Zenk in Dry Cereal and Cheese Chase and Mike Madeoy in the other three games) works for a spy agency called SPY Corps. His cohorts include Monkey Penny (his secretarial assistant), Professor Quack (creator of the SPY Corps gadgets), the SPY Corps Chief, and the four-armed, four-sleeved 'tracking bug', Walter Wireless.
There are three adventure games in the series:
Two arcade games also exist starring Spy Fox:
- Spy Fox in: Cheese Chase (March 31, 1998)
- Spy Fox in: Hold the Mustard (October 19, 1999) [5]
The Spy Fox games each contain several different game paths randomly determined when the player starts a new game. Each path has its own challenges, which some players find more challenging than others. The main protagonist of the games, Spy Fox, uses a variety of gadgets to complete his missions. The game allows for second chances on puzzles and tasks, and it is impossible to fail the overall mission. [1] Each game has a bonus ending wherein the player can catch the villain. The bonus ending is accessible only if the player clicks an option at the right moment.
When running with ScummVM, these games can be played on different operating systems, including Windows, Mac and Linux. Nearly a decade after its initial release, Dry Cereal was ported to the Nintendo Wii in 2008, but its availability was significantly limited by legal problems concerning the port's development. [6]
In 2014, the Spy Fox series was released on Steam, along with the entirety of the Humongous Entertainment game library. [7]
Back in the early 2000s, Humongous published a number of promo materials for the games. These materials include stories featuring new villains that have never appeared in the game series, including Dr. Morrie Arty, Dr. Fu Manch Hugh, and Baron Von Bluefield. [8]
