4116.0. "Operation Stealth - game" by AYOV27::CWILL (My sandwich is empty...) Fri Sep 14 1990 04:33

    OPERATION STEALTH
    
    This is the latest CINEMATIQUE style game from the people who brought
    Future Wars to us. It has the same basic commands and movement
    structure with a few improvements. IE you don't have to be pixel
    perfect to operate things, you don't have to have 20/20 vision to
    see all the objects.
    
    The basic scenario ;
    
    A 'Stealth Bomber' has diassapeared while on a test flight, it is
    believed stolen. You are Glames, John Glames, your mission is to
    find and destroy / disable the mother computer that provides the
    stealth capability, thus allowing your government to deal with its
    threat.
    
    The suspects : Russia and / or a tin pot dictator in South America,
    during the game you are kitted out with special devices etc in a
    very James Bond like game.
    
    There are three disks as oppossed to two, answering the critisism
    that Future Wars was too chort. In my opinion the game is a good
    20% better than he brilliant FW.
    
    Some nice touches at the start as well for FW veterans to relate
    to.
    
    I have had to almost restart the damn thing 3 times as I have forgotten
    to do something back then that is stopping me right now !
    
    I am VERY close to completing this, I can tell, I should be able
    to Ive said it enough times to myself. But I am dead stuck at the
    moment.
    
    So who else is playing, what do you reckon ?

4116.1Better than F.W.-I agreeNWGEDU::RAIJMAKERSYou trace 'm, I make 'mWed Sep 19 1990 06:4531
    I agree with Chris, great game!
    Haven't finished yet..ah, well....come on admit it....I'm stuck :-(
    I was hoping to finish without any help, but this time I'm realy stuck.
    Current position after the <FF>:
    
    I'm in the big room during the countdown (the stealth has just taken
    off). I've managed to create a diversion but don't know what to do
    next. After my diversion is over I get shot by Otto.(right between the
    eyes, that hurts!)
    After the next <FF> I'll post what I am carrying. If you haven't
    reached this point in the game yet, don't continue, it might contain
    spoilers:
    
    watch
    pen
    elastic band
    cigarette case with 3 cigarettes
    life boat
    optical disk
    carnation
    fingerprint ID
    case
    stamp
    stamp pad
    
    I hope I didn't leave anything out (I should have written it down)
    
    If someone could help me out here, I might be able to sleep again
    nights.
    
    Thanks in advance, Harrie R. (from Holland)
4116.2Finished !NWGEDU::RAIJMAKERSYou trace &#039;m, I make &#039;mMon Sep 24 1990 07:428
    No need to answer the previous reply/question, I fould the answer
    during the weekend and finished the game.
    Nice ending, gives you a real 007-feeling.
    
    If you enjoyed Future Wars and you like James Bond movies this game is
    a MUST !
    
    Greetings, Harrie R.

4116.4You already have some dosh !!AYOV27::CWILLMy sandwich is empty...Thu Oct 25 1990 08:5711
    Have you got your American passport ? Have you examined it ?
    
    For a complete answer look after the formfeed.
    Spoiler
    
	Your American passport contains a bunch of notes ( actually
    the game calls it a "bench of notes". ), take the notes out of the
    passport.

    I have just got this great game and I've run into a brick wall with it.
    I've have just been thrown off a boat with a blaock of concrete tied to
    me, how do I escape. I have bought a bracelet from a man on the beach 
    and have tried to operate but this does not seem to work! 
    
    Please anybody help?

    Have you tried to operate the bracelet prior to being thrown in
    the water, it takes a few seconds to work you see....
