Initially one is most impressed by the hi-resolution screen at the beginning of this adventure tape.

It's a picture of Bogey (Humphrey Bogart), complete with that hat and raincoat, and he is illuminated by a sort of art nouveau globe lampshade.

The hi-res screen was, for me, the most memorable moment in this text-only, spy-thriller based, adventure game.

Your objective is to penetrate a KCB stronghold and get into the code room to discover the secret code.

Having discovered the secret, you quickly write to Soft Concern Ltd, and if you are the first with the solution, you collect £2,500.

The adventure game itself is a competent rendering, but the lack of a cursor, for human input, I found most annoying. You would expect the high price tag of £8.95 to include a free cursor.

Perhaps the exorbitant price is to cover the cost of having the cassette inlay printed in Russian and to pay out the prize money with.
