Guys, this used to be my favourite game I even got promoted to something like agent 006, beter than Bond, James Bond. I wish they made a 3D version of Covert!! Cant wait.

does anyone here know the controls for this game...

I mostly don't know how to save my game. If someone could tell me that, it would really help.

In order to save you have to hit the escape key until you see the option of "Go to Hotel" Hit enter and then you get the option to save.

You should download the manual - many of the answers as far as what keys do what are in there.

Where can I download the manual? Is it on this site? I don't see it on the Covert Action page--

Last I checked the manual for this game was at Home of the Underdogs. Search for that site. If you haven't already seen it, it's a pretty good site to visit anyway.

I love this game! I have been playing it for years and years, but I never got tired of it.
About the controls, in case someone is still wondering: Use the number arrows (on the right on your keyboard,,) to move around and get from room to another. If you use the arrow keys, the character you are playing kinda "ducks" and is crawling from place to another, and can't go from room to another. If you want to go over a couch or some other object, use the arrow keys for that. It allows the character to "jump" or something over the objects.

you can control your character with the numpad keys, and use the bugs, camera, etc. with the function keys. i don't remember exactly which keys, just play it and try and you'll get it.

Woot! This game rocks! The best I've found in any genre, on any site.

My only complaint is the combat is a little difficult. Everything else works great and is enough of a challenge to be super fun!

Wouldn't you know it, the one skill you need to really make headway is COMBAT...

Well since this is my first day playing (I played for like 8 hours straight at least) I hope to get better at combat as I go.

PS I am using a Moslo clone called turbo and I have my comp set at 50% speed. This seems to normalize the speed for me -- anybody else notice this?

I bought this game new and have never really stopped playing it. I just started to play it again this past week after a few years hiatus.

This time around though the sound I have to use is only the pc sounds so it's not as fun as I have had in the past.

I still enjoy playing though

Hi All,

A few years back (ahem...) I remember reading a review about a very similar 'update' of this game - not actually a follow-up but similar in practice and with better graphics, though the review wasn't very good Anyone remember it? It was probably released in about 1993-1994.

On that note, looking at the game manual again made me think how ahead of it's time this game was - I can't think of any game that I've played since that offers complex, unlimited gameplay. The only problem I have with it is the huge number of little scraps of paper I used to generate with all the possible suspect names written on it. I also reckon this game would be superb on a portable gaming system - those long-haul flights would melt away in no time!
