Behold, a game by Sid Meier, before he was condemned to the hell of working in the Civilization mines.

Oh okay. You wanna say something about it? Maybe give a screenshot or something?

Ironically he ended up not liking the end result much. It was a learning experience for him.

So you created a useless thread just for attention.

I think you framed that exactly wrong, Covert Action was a project simmering in the background for a long time until Wild Bill finally made Sid finish it. Meier WANTED to work on Civ. Covert Action was a slog.

It's about as mediocre as its reputation. It's not a terrible game, but it does get very samey, and the organizations you're up against are completely interchangeable.And unless someone hacked in better controls, it's very unintuitive to play... IIRC you pretty much need a keyboard with a numpad.

I liked it a lot.
Game loop where you manage smaller missions to progress the main one was uncommon at the time.
Many modern games do that now.

I would always get bored and stop playing before being able to get to the final mastermind. Which IIRC is just another regular mission anyway.I think Sid and Bruce kind of phoned it in to an extent with this one
