About This Game

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
  • Realism:Crucial decisions international agents face every day, cases based on today's headlines.

I have to echo the other negative reviews here: this is great if you remember playing it back in the day but it's indecipherable to new players. If you don't already know how to play - or don't fancy reading through this game's 100 page (!) manual - this game will just prove to be baffling.

i grew up watching my dad play this game and every now and then i would get to sit on his lap and "Play" i may not have known exactly how to play the game but i had fun with my dad guiding me on what i needed to do. so when I saw this game on Steam it was a no brainer on buying it. the moment i started it up i was brought back to that moment being a little kid. When I visted my dad for the holidays a few weeks later i told him i had a computer game i wanted him to play with me , The smile on his face when i started it up was everything .1000/10 highly recommmend .

This game is really old, but I love it. It's like a logic puzzle game with a bunch of mini-games that includes a top down third-person combat/infiltration mini-game. It's all set in the Cold War. If you like James Bond or Tom Clancy novels, this is a good shout.
