I'm also glad to see this back. This is a great little game, but it's blatantly obvious i'd never play it myself, so it'ss awesome to have someone so dedicated turning it inside out for me.

The number of 'hey, you didn't read my mind properly' game overs in this game continues to stun me.

Trust me, I know. I was a fanatic for Sierra games back in the day, especially Quest for Glory. I think my first playthrough of QFG1 took me like 25 hours because I kept getting myself into unwinnable dead-man-walking situations, or just hosed myself saving in a situation where I thought for SURE I was safe, but was actually about to die. Still, looking back and going through it again today, if you were careful there was no reason why you should get into these situations in QFG, except in the VGA version where a single misclick can make your hero waste a game-critical item. Judicious use of the look action, whether it was text parser or eye, alerted you to almost all of the potential deaths in the game. There were not really any 'SURPRISE, YOU'RE DEAD' moments like this game has every 30 seconds.

Being allowed to travel abroad was one of the major perks of being a part of the elite, and being able to bring back things that you couldn't purchase in the Soviet Union (legal or otherwise) was the main benefit of traveling. People got caught of course, but people also got away with it enough for it to be economical.

I presume it's completely possible to simply leave the KGB office without looking for the cigar, right? Which means you're totally able to do a full day of dead-man-walking gameplay because Cut-throat is going to kill you for not knowing that in the evening. I'm gonna call that another BS dead end because the game still has not really explained why that's significant at all, beyond Cut-throat's mention that Agabekov isn't a fan of cigars. Which you would have had no way of knowing walking into that office, unless my memory's faulty.

Considering how big a part guns have played in this game (read: a very tiny part), I think it's a stretch to think that the writer even had a very clear idea in his head what silenced revolver Cut-throat is carrying. He probably was just like "Silenced revolvers exist right? Okay cool. Silenced revolvers are cool. Cut-throat is cool, so therefore he's going to use a cool weapon." On an unrelated note, Ensign Expendable needs to post more as his avatar will never not be funny.

I'm not smart enough to make those sorts of jokes, but the beautiful thing about puns is that they exist whether the speaker intended them or not! So in conclusion, dongwater.

I'm tallying this one as another 'read my mind' death, because holy poo poo how the hell were you supposed to sniff that one out prior to having a gun in your face?

What happens if you tell Greenburg you have Protopopov's address? Is that old news to him?

Cool. I didn't think we knew it, but I was curious how the game was going to handle that.

It looks better because everything was resized proportionally this time. That is likely close to as good as you're gonna make this game look though, yeah. Any further weirdness is likely to be a part of the art style being pretty unique.

The belt on the cooling system was also a bullshit thing to pull. If the game isn't lying about it being hard/impossible to walk around on deck while it's light out, you can't leave the engine room to retrieve the belt after you're underway. So you kind of have to psychically know that the engine will falter in this EXACT WAY.
