Operation Berlin

The sequel to Operation Stallion, this is the second of a trilogy offering a £500 prize to the first person who solves all three. Most of the bugs that made Stallion such a chore to play are gone, making it much slicker.

Again, you play an agent allowed to operate outside the law. However, this privilege does not come cheap. If you fail on any mission, a miniature bomb implanted in your skull will detonate...

You begin at Heathrow Airport, at the start of a vacation, but on reporting to the information desk, you learn something important has cropped up. You must report immediately to CJ, a man who is in constant contact with the Prime Minister.

An important scientist has been kidnapped. A quick air journey, and you're in Berlin, with the KGB tailing you. After a rendezvous with a double agent, the action moves across the Iron Curtain, via the notorious Checkpoint Charlie.

Slowly you will manage to fit the puzzles together as you plunge deeper and deeper into the shadowy world of espionage, the premature termination of your existence being likely more than a few times! Wonderful things these RAM saves!
