Sid Meier’s Covert Action is an action and strategy video game developed and released in 1990 by Micro Prose for the PC DOS and Amiga.The gameplay is similar to the 1987 release Pirates!, by the same developer, Sid Meier, in that the gameplay is made up of several self-directed, distinct, and unique modes of play. The controls are relatively simple and uniform, and the sound and graphics, for the period, are widely considered at or above par.During the course of a game, the player will be tasked with installing wiretaps, infiltrating enemy safe houses, intercepting and decoding secret messages and interrogating prisoners. The plots are uniformly without distinction, as is to be expected with randomly generated text-based plot elements. This allows for a less structured story to unfold, and enhances the game’s replay ability.
