Retro Review: Spies vs. Mercs 2005 (And how to play it today!)

"Oh no, those spies are goin' after Video Games!"

Here's a word about game preservation, a review of Spies vs. Mercs, and a how-to setup guide on getting the good ol' 2005 version running today. Because this is from those weird years in the mid 2000's when PC ports were UBIiquitously awful.

I'll be experimenting with the game's Tuungle lobbies over the next few weeks, and streaming it as well for people who want more.

Steam guide to help you out. Includes a rad community map pack with one dumb tribute map that has me so giddy I don't even want to spoil the surprise:

Guest starring a soft boy, a part-time communist, an outdated CD-ROM encylopedia, an orbskeezy, and John Hedon. And don't forget the joker.

We could use some more Batmen and Paul Blarts playing this game.
