you can control your character with the numpad keys, and use the bugs, camera, etc. with the function keys. i don't remember exactly which keys, just play it and try and you'll get it.

Woot! This game rocks! The best I've found in any genre, on any site.

My only complaint is the combat is a little difficult. Everything else works great and is enough of a challenge to be super fun!

Wouldn't you know it, the one skill you need to really make headway is COMBAT...

Well since this is my first day playing (I played for like 8 hours straight at least) I hope to get better at combat as I go.

PS I am using a Moslo clone called turbo and I have my comp set at 50% speed. This seems to normalize the speed for me -- anybody else notice this?

I bought this game new and have never really stopped playing it. I just started to play it again this past week after a few years hiatus.

This time around though the sound I have to use is only the pc sounds so it's not as fun as I have had in the past.

I still enjoy playing though

Hi All,

A few years back (ahem...) I remember reading a review about a very similar 'update' of this game - not actually a follow-up but similar in practice and with better graphics, though the review wasn't very good Anyone remember it? It was probably released in about 1993-1994.

On that note, looking at the game manual again made me think how ahead of it's time this game was - I can't think of any game that I've played since that offers complex, unlimited gameplay. The only problem I have with it is the huge number of little scraps of paper I used to generate with all the possible suspect names written on it. I also reckon this game would be superb on a portable gaming system - those long-haul flights would melt away in no time!

Hi

Have you tried using DOSBox?

I’ve played this game a bunch and here are the controls to the best of my knowledge.
Menus
Navigate the menus with the arrow keys, select with the space bar and go back with the escape key.
Wiretap/Tracing
When you are placing a wiretap or tracing a car you are trying to stop the dotted red lines from reaching the boxes on the far right (alarms, phones, or transmitters). To do this swap the extra piece (the one on the bottom) with the selected piece (the blue one) by pressing the space bar. Select pieces with the arrow keys and press the space bar to switch. Once you have completed the wiretap you will automatically head back to the hideout page, or you can press escape to exit at any time.
Breaking and Entering
As someone above mentioned, the first time you select “break into building” you have to wait a minute or so for the game to load. After this you will get to select your equipment. I would suggest taking the bulletproof vest, the headset (motion detector), the safecracking kit, the camera, and the Uzi. When you are finished, press escape and select which door you will enter.
The basic movement keys are on the keypad:
Left = 4
Right = 6
Up = 8
Down = 2
Crouch/Stand = 5
(NOTE: this only works on the keypad, not on the numerical keys above the letter keys.)
To fire your gun, press the space bar.
The other action keys are the function keys:
F1 = Open
F2 = Take picture
F3 = Place bug
F4 = Use terminal
F5 = Grenade short throw
F6 = Grenade medium throw
F7 = Grenade long throw
F8 = Trigger remote
F9 = Set grenade trap (remote or booby trap)
F10 = Switch grenade type
Try everything to see what you can photograph and bug. If you see a red safe with a yellow X on top, make sure you photograph the contents!
To save the game or exit during missions, go to the hotel in any of the cities.
I never crack coded messages or trail suspects, so I have no idea how to do those.

:help:
I tried using DOS Box to run the game and it lets me get through the three setup questions but after the last one I get a "filename not found" error. Does anyone know what I can do about this?

Thanks!!!
