The Third Courier
_The Third Courier_ is set in the era of the ‘cold war’, and the action takes
place in Germany. The player is an American spy, and his mission is to recover
stolen NATO defense plans.
You start off in your apartment, which contains a computer, bugging equipment
and an answerphone, as well as useful items such as money and a passport. A
compass on screen is used to move around, with symbols appearing on the left
and right of the status screen to indicate when something important is to the
west or east of you.
You will have to explore the city streets, with the aid of taxis and the
Autobahn. Talk to important people and buy key objects, and then sneak around
spying on anyone who seems suspicious. Encounters with enemy agents, muggers
and tramps can turn violent; when they do, use your gun quickly to ensure they
are shot first.
