Played this originally on 3.5 floppy disc when it first came out from Microprose. (My 2nd favourite game company which included titles like this and the original X-COM game)Played this for years. Not hours, years. Every year I go back to it. Now it's on Steam. Going back to it again. :)The best espionage game ever made, even though Sid said he didn't like it after he made it because it had too many games rolled into one, but that is what I love about it. You can solve cases many different ways.10/10 (for when it was made, graphics were top of the line, today, people will complain about it)Gameplay is 100% of the best type of spy game.Prepare to have a pen and paper handy, or a notebook, or whatever you want to use to jot down notes because you will need it. You may forget which person is linked to which organization while you are breaking into a safehouse, and you can find the information many different ways in there including using a spy camera, placing bugs (to scan later) or cracking computer passwords to gain info. If you love this sort of thing, this is your game.. A wonderful game! I can't believe this was released in 1990! It has great graphics, depth, and functionality for the time period. Reading the 60-70 page manual is a must. If you can commit yourself to that, there's a very immersive game waiting for you.What I really like is the subject matter. You are Max Remington, the world's only free-lance spy. So good, you only work at the direct request of the American President. At his request, you'll investigate vast conspiracies, uncover clues, find the culprits, and arrest them before they can commit their devastating crimes. An intriguing premise (if not the most realistic), but what really makes this game stand out is it was made at that special time where the Berlin Wall had fallen, but the Soviet Union had not yet collapsed. As such, your enemies aren't the KGB (though the KGB has a presence) but other international terrorists. It's really fascinating from a historical perspective.I hear that Sid Meier himself was not pleased with his game overall. He said that the game of having combat with enemy agents detracted too much from piecing together clues to solve crimes, and vice-versa. From this experience he created the "Covert Action Rule," where a game should not divert its attention. For example, in Civilization, if a unit fights another unit, you don't switch to a RTS game and fight out the battle, you just resolve it and move on with the Civilization game. To Sid Meier I would say: "You overestimate this 'flaw'!" Look at how popular the Total War series is, which does exactly what he describes! Personally, I don't think the combat game detracts from the 'solving mystery' game at all. It wouldn't feel like a real spy game if you couldn't break into hideouts, photograph evidence, and capture criminal masterminds.If you can stand playing old DOS games and have free time to commit to learning the game, I wholeheartedly recommend it. I wouldn't expect a remake to ever happen: we're just too far away from Cold War politics for a game like this to work in the modern Global War on Terror-era.. I've played this game for years (non-steam). I really wish they would remake this, it's a brilliant game with tons of replayability. Who's with me?. Classic Sid Meier <3. Like a lot of people say there is nothing like this game. It is clever, makes you be clever - especially on higher dificulties, and makes you properly feel like a spy rather than a murder machine who sometimes finds clues. The random nature of each mission makes it keep feeling like a puzzle. Yes the enemy only chase a few goals but I think it is better to think of it as a puzzle game that hides that fact very well. So crosswords only have so many clues and Sudokus are repedative when it comes down to it but because you are working it out each time it feels fun. It is also great when you realise it isn't truely random and the bits that aren't random make sense (ie if one spy agency is active in a city then check out their dossier and wiretap their allies in the same city).The minigames make it. Each has its purpose and it's own skill set so find what works best for you as a spy and go for it (wire tap and infiltration for me).The controls take a bit of getting used to and in some ways it almost feels turn based, that is there is a second between each action for you and the enemies so even if you respond a touch late they do as well.I am sitting here on a rig in 2018 worth thousands wishing someone would make the next in this series (or just rip it off). Every year or so I come back to this game for a bit more of a play (only recently on steam, hence the short hours). It would make a 50x better mobile game than most of the stuff out there if someone made a mobile version of it.. the game is no good. It's an old game, of course...no mouse support, no tooltips, you need to remember a lot of buttons...but its still a lot of fun. However, be aware that, expecially on higher levels, you are always operating on a very strict time limit.If you just waste a little time on observing the wrong groups, your target group will be gone. It's a shame that the game forces you to be so straight-forward.. its like im really there. And obtuse puzzle game. Want to like it, but it's a game for someone with a ton of patience.Cryptography is not exactly the part of spy stuff I'm interested in.
