Guess what game I am thinking of.

[ChaosLord]

You have given lots of really good clues.

The trouble is that all the clues are pointing me toward a game that nobody on Amiga.org has ever played before.

Maximum number of simultaneous players?

[hardwired]

It's 1 player only. BIG CLUES now: Graphics are sort on the grey, the plot is (almost) non linear and very politically incorrect.

[ChaosLord]

Is it some type of MULE remake?

[ChaosLord]

Was it a commercial game?

Is it some type of MULE remake?

This http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M.U.L.E.?
Nope and even if not this one - nope. It's rather original for the time.

Another Clue (Important one): You can kill, abduct people and infiltrate several organizations...

[ChaosLord]

Is it some sort of stock market / commodities game?

[hardwired]

Was it a commercial game?

Yes! And It was launched by a big company, also for PC (The PC version has blueish graphics)...

You sit at the desk and decide the fate of a number of people, but you're not the police or any law abiding similar agency - although you can do - arguably - occasionally some good.

You can also discredit people - tell that they worship the devil, that buy the pharmacy entire stock of condoms, etc... Providing you have the dough!

My only guesses have already been ruled out:
Big Business
Oil Imperium
Balance of Power 1990 Edition

Is it some sort of stock market / commodities game?

Nope  - no real big finance involved and resource management is very simple.

You control these departments:

Surveillance - Pursuit - Search – Interrogation – Removal - Heavy Assault - Dis-Information – Infiltration

My only guesses have already been ruled out:
Big Business
Oil Imperium
Balance of Power 1990 Edition

Nope...

You control a kind of a Secret State Police, except for all public knowledge it does  not exist! The entity itself exists under the cover of the State  Secretary of Agriculture and Fisheries - in the UK setting.

Famous quote: The power behind the democracy...

That's it I given pretty much all the clues

I can't give you the subcategory because it's only 3 on those! :hammer:

By the way one more clue:


Here's my review of the game:

GRAPHICS: 6 / 10                      HI-RES monochrome graphics is what you get all the way. While not  state of the art, they fit nicely the atmosphere, and have a distinct  professional look for the time of the release. Lack of animation of nay  kind will undoubtly baffle everyone, but for the kind of game, there  isn’t really needed much anyway.

Still one could hope that they would put a bit more into it, and add  a few more graphical sequences and final touches.

                     SOUND: 4 / 10                      The Amiga music is really different from the PC version, and is  very good for the intro and also sets the mood, but that’s it. Silence  is what you get all the way into the game, and I believe that this  unfortunately deprives of some of the atmosphere that could be enjoyed  while playing (look at lost patrol).
No sound effects and no music during gameplay just doesn’t sound  like an Amiga game!

                     PLAYABILITY: 7 / 10                      The menu system while comprehensive is somehow shallow, but one  gets accustomed (not enjoyable!) – If you’ve played Conflict in Middle  East you’ll know user interface it’s pretty similar. Clicking in boxes  and more boxes (better use cursor or keypad)…

The plot is presented in a no linear fashion, is always is pretty  enjoying, and you really try to get all the things right. Of course the  somehow limited control, which is offered to the player, to deal with  the cases posed makes the nature of the gameplay limited.

                     OVERALL: 7 / 10                      I guess it’s the underlining subversive nature of the game that  appeals me so much! If you’re looking for an exciting game, search  elsewhere. This is an old-school management game with a very drab  setting both in the sound, graphical and user interface department...
But if you’re able to overcome this initial issue, you’ll find a  decent management game with lot of politically incorrect stories,  conspiracies and lot of plot twists, skulduggery…  

If you love spy novels and games I definitely recommend you play  this one!
