Don’t know if Spybot just wasn’t successful or what, but they killed the entire thing including the game. Sometime later when I went back to play it again, it was no longer on the Lego website.

In any case, along with the sets Lego released the titular game, which is where I first played it. How this is done I have no idea – I never owned the sets and it’s not at all important for the game itself. Spybot was a set of four Lego robot sets released in 2002 that, with the aid of a CD-Rom, could be programmed to accomplish various missions.

So I thought I’d share it with you in case you missed this gem.Ī little background is in order. Specifically, it was while looking at various angles for a hacker story that I recalled I had (many years ago) stumbled upon a surprisingly excellent hacker game called Spybot: The Nightfall Incident. Just this morning while working on a current cyberpunk project – FlashCity Stories – something dredged itself up from the depths of my memory banks.
