It was years ago (maybe 90's), and it was a point and click type game.

Here's what i remember:

You started off on a window cleaning gib outside an office in a tower block, once you got inside there was a key under the rug.

That's about all i can remember????

I never got far on it but i've just got SCUMM on my PSP and I'm currently playing monkey island and i've re-found my love for point & click games.

SO was wondering if i could, first remember it, then get hold of a copy to play in the PSP.

Cheers for help

I loved Op Stealth. I still remember the beginning sequence with the stolen stealth bomber, and the music.

Den-Den-Den D-Den-D-Den-Den-Den

Had it on my Amiga, it shipped with the A1200 pack. Finished it as I remember. Classic stuff.

Up there with Day of the Tentacle, Indiana Jones FOA and the classic Monkey Island series.

*sigh of nostalgia*

Anyone remember Psygnosis's average point and click affair "Guilty" ?? Had "adult humour" - terrible humour.

Oh god, Future Wars.

Nearly as difficult to complete as it's pseudo sequel, Operation Stealth.

Heh, would you look at that :D

I might run that on an emulator - seems worth a retro-look.

There are some really hardcore forums out there.

I've had many an old-skool game named for me with descriptions just as vague!

Took me a while to find the right places though, some places specialise in one platform, which is nice.
