Operation Stealth

Operation Stealth is a 1990 adventure game that combines international intrigue, espionage, and the sort of dangerous missions where the protagonist probably should have taken a quiet office job instead. Players investigate situations, explore locations, interact with characters, and solve puzzles while uncovering a larger mystery involving secret operations and high-stakes trouble. The game has the atmosphere of a classic spy adventure, complete with suspicious characters and situations that become increasingly complicated the further the player progresses. Its humor and adventure elements keep the experience from becoming too grim, while the story provides plenty of reasons to keep searching for clues. Operation Stealth is a charming example of the era’s adventure games, where solving a puzzle could require equal parts logic, observation, and the willingness to try using completely unrelated objects together.
