The goal of the game was to win all data battles, of which each would be fought in a different "node" in the network, and eventually to defeat the rogue ex-S.M.A.R.T-agent Disarray, who appears to be the one who caused Nightfall (the crashing of the network, after which the game is named). During such battles, credits could be earned, with which the player could buy aforementioned software programs. This was done by fighting "data battles", which were essentially strategic turn-based games where the player would use their software programs to eliminate enemy software. The player was an agent from the "S.M.A.R.T" agency, which acted as a form of internet police by helping companies regain access to their stolen data or hijacked servers, by using Spybots. The Lego website featured an online game called "The Nightfall Incident", created by Gamelab in 2002. The templates, as well as the ten included missions, can then be modified using "capsules", which are small subprograms that change a particular aspect of the mission. In addition to these pre-set missions, players can select "Special Operations", which allows them to create their own missions based on a set of nine templates. The missions are set up by placing certain objects in the room, which the Spybots will react to according to the program included with the mission. Each mission includes a mission brief, set-up instructions, and some settings to make the mission easier or harder. Five of the missions are designed for a single Spybot, and the other five are designed for two or more Spybots. The disc includes 10 preset missions, and more could be downloaded from the now-defunct Spybotics website. The Spybotics software allows you to create simulated missions for the Spybots. Programs are uploaded to the control module using a special serial-to-IR cable included with the set. Most RCX-compatible programming languages can be used. Spybots are programmed primarily through the mission system, but they can be programmed in a similar manner to the RCX. Each control module contains 2 motors, an IR transceiver, a power button, and various sensors.Įach Spybotics set includes a CD-ROM software disc which allows you to program the spybots. The purple control module for the Shadowstrike S70 (#3808).Įach of the four sets includes a color-coded Spybot control module, a software disc, a serial cable with an infrared (IR) transceiver at the end, a color-coded IR remote control for the Spybot, and parts to build the body of the Spybot.
