I desperately want someone to remake this game. instead of the moment to moment action of more modern spy games, where you infiltrate bases and assassinate targets, Covert Action is about piecing a mystery together from data you have to gather through infiltration, bugs, trackers, wire taps, and a passive data network from your coworkers.

the brilliance is everytime you start a new game, you get a new villain agency and plot to untangle, complete with agents to foil through tailing, tracking, intel gathering, sneaking through buildings and around guards to plant bugs or photograph evidence, or code breaking, all with the goal of stopping the enemy from doing what they want, with failure representing a better opportunity to get em next time,
