This game makes a welcome change from others based wholly
on manual dexterity. Its theme is typically American: you against
the KGB. The documentation leads you into the Ukrainian
diplomatic mission in Pyongyang. Ahem. While tippling in the Bangkok
Hilton you have discovered that the KGB has the key to a fortune in
computer data in the form of an encoded message. Your task is to
avoid the spritely guards through the eleven floors of the diplomatic
mission, not once but nine times, building up a score and piecing
together the message as it is revealed to you.
If you are one of two UK solvers of the code you can win free
software.
You use the joystick or the keyboard's S and D keys to
control movement, while the guards patrol continuously. You can
pause by pressing P or the Fire button, but this is very
difficult, needing quick mental reactions.
Graphics are quite good, and interest is held very well indeed.
Needs Extended Basic.
