Spy Fox is a fun series of computer games from Humongous Entertainment. It stars a cool fox named Spy Fox, who acts just like a human! All the characters in his world are animals who live like people.
The games are full of funny moments. For example, Professor Quack, who invents gadgets, always eats the blueprints for his inventions!

They also have lots of silly jokes to make you laugh!
