*West Berlin

is held hostage by a nuclear device...*

... and you've been sent to find it. You're Sam Potter, CIA agent extraordinaire. Or at least you'd better be. An atomic bomb is set to vaporize West Berlin and time's running short. Everyone says you're the best undercover man in the agency. Now you have to prove it!

Divided Berlin isn't the easiest place to run a covert operation. A Soviet blockade ravages the city, while black marketeers run rampant on the Ku'damm. Foreign agents are everywhere and the citizens don't trust strangers. You'll need help!

Roam the war-tom streets of West Berlin, stopping in bookstores, nightclubs and the cinema to try and unravel the plot that threatens world peace. Taxi through each sector, trading cigarettes, questioning suspects, making friends and enemies, and searching for the doomsday device — and the people who planted it.
