Sid Meier's Covert Action - A Techno-Thriller From the Case Files of Max Remington. 

In the 1990's our national nightmares are haunted by wild-eyed political extremists, greedy and ruthless drug lords, and lunatic military dictators. For too long we have felt powerless to stop them. 
But now, award-winning game designer Sid Meier takes us around the globe with super-spy Max Remington to challenge these threats and neutralize their shadowy schemes of terrorism, smuggling and extortion. A seasoned veteran of modern, hi-tech undercover operations, Remington always obeys the two main rules of Covert Action: 1. Use your intelligence. 2. If Rule one fails, use your other weapons. 

Game Features: 
 

  • Intelligence: Recognize Faces, Break Codes, Unravel plots and sub-plots to determine how sub-plots fit together in the larger scheme, Decide which leads to follow, which to ignore
  • Weapons: Guns, Fragmentation grenades, Stun grenades, Remote-control bombs, Tear gas
  • World travel: 3 Continents, 50 cities
  • Variety: Work for CIA, Mossad(Israeli), MI5 (British), Unlimited number of cases to solve

Break in.

For whatever reason, during break-ins, I'm always crouched and cannot stand up. Also, I cannot change rooms once I enter one. Sad.

Horrible anti-fun gameplay

This is "my gawd, how did this get past curation" level bad. The controls stink the actual gameplay stinks every last shred of the UI stinks. Just don't. I know its an old game and I was expecting some things from that but..Not this. NOT THIS. Cannot comprehend the good reviews people gave this. It was only $1.49 and I am still horrified I paid for it. It's that bad.
