Spy vs Spy isn't just a game though. It's still the intellectual property of Warner Brothers (who own Mad Magazine). I'm also not sure video games are old enough to fall under public domain.

You have to buy the licensing rights and usually there are other deals that have to be made as well (% of revenues, etc.).

I doubt Chuckles will want, or be able, to go into the particulars.
