James Bond 007 on the other hand was an awesome game that even today I think has some pretty innovative mechanics, the wound system and the ease factors of tasks being two good examples. I would have loved to see a Q Manual II come out but Victory Games lost the license before it could happen. Great game. I hear you can find the pdf's on the interwebs if you want to take a look.infocydehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06717475066074726136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-10693648618047135222012-04-13T16:45:44.447-04:002012-04-13T16:45:44.447-04:00Back in high school I worked as a bagger in a groc...Back in high school I worked as a bagger in a grocery store, as did another kid who I found out also played rpg games. Eventually we got to the point where he was running a Top Secret game at work, rolling dice surreptitiously as we bagged. It was fun, but I don't remember much of the actual game. Probably because we would do about 10 minutes of actual gaming spread out over 6 hours of work.Callinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10588183535221978936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-78082559860959663182012-04-13T15:50:34.976-04:002012-04-13T15:50:34.976-04:00I remember running Top Secret back in school...

We ran at serious as we run any game, and had a good time. The unarmed combat was pretty fun. You have to select what your maneuver is going to be with which hand and the defender has to figure out how he is blockin/dodging and with which side/hand. It was gloriously convoluted and entertaining!arcadaynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17025690624100512801noreply@blogger.com
