Name the Game - Part 7

[child of Thor]

There was a game based on british politcs(number ten as its called) - its all hazy as its not my prefered choice of game either, but you were like a public servant working for the PrimeMinister, i think it may have been inspired by the tv series 'Yes PrimeMinister' from the late 70's(?).
On the other hand it could all have been a horrible nightmare i had 15 years ago brought about by the falklands war/and pictures from vietnam, maybe alcohol too!.......not really sure?

I hate to say this, but it is time for another verse Rhymey-rhymerton.

'Floor 13'? - i think you worked for the prime minister in this, although it was more secret service based, rather than purely political?

[CapTVK]

Very good CoT, it is indeed Floor 13!

I already hinted at in the earlier. My next verse would have been about the sort of instruments I could use like kidnapping, inflitration, smear campaign, breakin, torture anything is allowed as long the polls stay high enough and you don't draw too mcuh attention to yourself.

Otherwise it would be flying lesson for you. From the 13th floor....

Isn't that politics as well?

[Spaced Cowboy]

Okay, I feel better, I never heard of this one. Good one CoT, what is next.

Congratulations Child of Thor!
For working out it was on the 13th Floor,
After all the rhyming my head is sore,
So for the next game I don't want more.

sounds so much like real life..........scumbags that they are

0k i'll need a few moments to come up with a new one(and get Yes Prime Minister out me head).

ok timewarp back to the 80's

Margret Thatcher ruled my country with an iron fist and fashion was like a nightmare episode of buck rogers.

This game was a budget title that appeared on the home computer 8bits of the day(C64/spectrum/Atari etc).
It might have made it to pc but not sure.

Clue1:

the music/sound effects stood out - creepy and weird which fit perfectly with the game setting.

If you've seen the film 'Forbidden Planet'(a 60's/70's sci-fi classic) the sound had the same effect as in that film

Thrust ?

[child of Thor]

nope.

Clue2:

because the graphics used the highest resolution of the platform, they were in monochrome - which also added to the alienesque atmosphere.
