Description:	An icon driven graphic adventure game which sets you in the roll of a spy in "cold war" Berlin. Adequate is somewhat bland gfx and sfx don't compensate for the game's overall feeling of tedium as you wander around, aimlessly it feels, looking for clues. This isn't helped any by the old problem of "find the pixel to click on". For the politically correct and especially feminist gamers the depiction of women in the game won't be a plus. Overall a game which is decent enough but enjoyment is hampered by too many flaws.
