Yet another variation of Gumshoe and Elevator Action surfaces in the shape of Firebird's Special Agent.

Taking the role of CIA agent, Felix Hoover, the player has to negotiate the rooms, corridors and elevators of a high-rise block in the middle of Moscow.

Felix's aim is to steal the Soviets' latest spaceship blueprints and escape, collecting as much cash as possible to aid his return. His escape is made all the more hazardous by the numerous KGB men who are constantly on his trail and shoot on sight.

The graphics are smartly drawn and although the characters are rather tiny, Felix's death throes are wonderfully animated. Gameplay though, is pretty repetitive and the whole game is too derivative to be considered a truly worthwhile investment.
