Anyone remember this gem of a game? Was watching the Docu channels and something reminded me of something you had to do on the game, well it was actually someone talking about the 'double tap' in shooting training you were told to us the double tap, throat and chest or head and throat, cannot quite remember...anyway, does anyone else remember playing this game?

On release it really was ahead of its time, in fact no other game really has done the same type of gameplay again (from what i've bought) it was pretty tough, or it could have been my age, i think it was from the mid 90's and required patience and attention to detail, really nothing like what games are today or ever back then. You had to do voice analysis, image enhancement, decipher codes and letters, bug rooms, read up and research A LOT, on suspects organisations and lots of other stuff like that. Very far from an action game but wrote by former members of the FBI & CIA it was as realistic as their jobs could get.

So does anyone else remember this blast from the past, and do you think a remake would do well in todays FPS fast action lots of combat gaming world?
 
I still have it - IIRC without looking in the box for confirmation it came on 4 CD's.

It was very different but also very hard. I never completed it nor got anywhere near to. Still a very interesting game and a modern version would be superb.

yeah I remember this vaguely. Seem to remember it being rather tough as well. Maybe the above poster could reinstall and post a few screenies, let us know how it's aged and whether it's worth trying to track down again.
edit. Wowzers, there's a guy on the river place trying to sell a copy for £50!!!

Ha, i forgot i made this thread, i should still have it somewhere, i never throw games out and PC games are too cheap to trade.

£50 you say?!?!?!?

;)
 
I'd forgotten all about that game - I reckon I've turfed it by now though. There's loads of vids on YouTube about it.
