Trivia

Those of you who browsed the screenshots will notice that Agent Seaton (who's like Q of CIA) is played by Chase Masterson, who's better known nowadays as Leeta, Rom's wife on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.

William Colby ( Former head of the CIA ) who helped to write the plot for this game and also portrayed himself in the game, died on April 28th, 1996 , two months after this game was released, in a bizarre canoe accident... his body was found only a WEEK after the accident ... coincidence ?!?!?

Activision originally planned to release Spycraft under the Infocom label. (Promotional posters showcasing their upcoming releases displayed an alternate cover with the Infocom logo.)

When you're at The Farm and in Jeffries's office, if you keep pressing the message button on his phone, you'll hear an interesting James Bond-ish message.

When you're in the Washington, D.C. office, try dialing 976-SUCK.

William Colby (former director of the Central Intelligence Agency) and Oleg Kalugin (former major general of the KGB) not only lent their espionage expertise to Spycraft, but also portray themselves in the game's movies.

When initially released, Spycraft had an internet site with more info for the game. Although the game was completely playable with the internet access, the site was a bonus to those who had it.

Fomer CIA Director William Colby and Former Major General of the KGB Oleg Kalugin lent both their knowledge and personal time to creating and acting in Spycraft

Another interesting tidbit comes from the back of the box:

"The Central Intelligence Agency has not approved, endorsed or authorized the making of Spycraft: The Great Game" Interesting, eh?
