Ripto's Rage is the second game in the Spyro the Dragon series, which started with Spyro the Dragon in 1998. The protagonist of the series, Spyro, is placed in the land of Avalar, rather than the Dragon Worlds, where the previous installment was set. A dinosaur-riding sorcerer, known as Ripto, has invaded the world of Avalar, and is wreaking havoc on its citizens with his magic. The player, as Spyro, must travel through the world of Avalar and undo the damage done by Ripto.

Spycraft (also known by its full title, Spycraft: The Great Game) is an adventure CD-ROM game published by Activision in 1996. It details the attempted assassination of the President of the United States and the CIA and SVR attempts to save him. Although the game was not approved by either organization, it tends to favour realism due to its coordination with former CIA director William Colby and former KGB Major-General Oleg Kalugin.

Spyborgs sees players controlling a member of a team of cyborg secret agents, each with their own unique abilities, through several levels populated by enemies. The game is designed to be played co-operatively with two players, though the AI will take control of the other character in single player games. Players can also gain experience points to upgrade their character's abilities. For each level, players can choose two out of the three Spyborgs, which include: Clandestine, formerly known as Kuno Ichi, a quick and nimble female ninja Bouncer, a lumbering but powerful robot Stinger, a soldier with a cybernetic gun arm. Played using the Wii Remote, motion controls initiate special attacks while the two characters can team up their attacks for additional damage. Alternatively, players can also choose to play with the buttons on the Wii Remote instead.

A follow-up to the first Spy vs Spy game now sees the spies stranded on a desert island. This time, instead of the four items which allow you to leave for the airport, the spies must try to collect 3 pieces of a missile. There are new traps and a single gun to take part in combat, rather than the big sticks of the previous game.

The third and final installment (after Spy vs. Spy and Spy vs. Spy: The Island Caper) sees the spies on an arctic island. Once again they're doing their thing - wandering round the island searching for items and setting traps to kill each other (or more frequently themselves).

The black Spy and the white Spy are out to beat each other before the time bell rings. Find the needed objects by digging through drawers, closets and furniture in the house. Foil your opponent by setting creative booby traps in the various rooms (a bomb in a dresser drawer, for instance). Fights ensue when both spies enter the same room. Find hidden weapons in the rooms to help with those fights, since one of you will die if you run into each other.

SpyHunter: Nowhere to Run is a combination of racing/3rd person shooter that stars professional wrestler-come-movie star Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as spy Alex Decker as he battles the evil organization NOSTRA in its bid for world domination. As in other games in the Spy Hunter series the player pilots the high tech Interceptor, a vehicle heavily equipped with lethal weapons that can also transform into a different vehicle type (i.e. from a car to a boat to a motorcycle) used to fight enemies of a evil nature with similarly equipped vehicles but with less armor than the Interceptor. New to the series is the 3rd person run and gun shooter game play featuring the likeness of said Johnson using firearms and WWE style wrestling moves.

The plot deals with Alec Sects as he tries to deal with the remains of Nostra, which have all formed separate groups. He eliminates the head of the Russian faction (The Cossack) before moving to New Orleans to meet Senator Noah Thurgood. However a clone of the Interceptor(the main vehicle) destroys Thurgood's car, and escapes by causing a diversion, attacking an IES boat. Alec proceeds to kill the man behind the attack, "Mad Mojo" Carter, leader of the American faction of Nostra. Alec proceeds to Asia where his partner Agent Vanessa Duvelle, has been kidnapped and held for execution. Alec breaks her out and kills the head of the Asian faction of Nostra, McGuinty. They then move to the Alps, where Alec destroys a second Interceptor clone. Later he learns that Thurgood was alive, and the mastermind. Thurgood escapes to the Arctic, where he has created an "Ark" and plans to flood the world by melting the ice, while he and select others rule what's left. Alec destroys the ark, and they are ordered to their next mission in Los Angeles
