About Central Intelligence
Central Intelligence is the ultimate test of your strategic skills. In this CIA style mission you can operate in three areas, Propaganda, Military, and Political, to achieve your objectives.
Choose your moves carefully - you could set up a chain reaction of events that may backfire. The theater of operation is immense.
A strategic game of espionage and undercover operations with a lot of political undertones. You play a CIA chief sent to the island of Sao Madrigal, which is currently under a dictatorship. This dictatorship is supported by the Chinese government and it seriously jeopardizes the U.S.A.'s interests in the region, thus it is your mission to organize the return of democracy, by any means necessary.
You have at your disposal a series of CIA agents divided in three branches: Political, Propaganda and Military. But the object of the game is not to organize a military uprising, but instead to support and organize the island's many opposing factions (like angry students, guerrillas, political parties,etc.) against the dictatorship (with or without their knowledge of your interventions) via propaganda, bribes, subterfuge, assassinations, blackmail, etc.

I recommend this game but with a qualifier: if you are a fan of espionage and/or spy games with a hefty amount of text and chess-like strategy, so much so that you could forgive this game's faults (and there are many), then pick this up. Otherwise, I would advise that you avoid this particular title as it stands. If you would like a little more detail before you decide, read on... First, the bad. Right off the bat this game is not a remaster, it is a re-release. If you were expecting an update to an old-game with better UI or graphics, you will be disappointed. Speaking of UI, it's terrible. It was bad when I played this back in the DOS and '95 days and it's still bad now. With time and a couple of playthroughs you will get used to it and everything will become second nature but I'll be honest, it is a slow, painful process getting to that level of comfort with this awful UI. Knowing what the different icons do, how to perform in-game actions, how to find characters, etc. You will NEED to know how to navigate the UI seamlessly in order to properly enjoy this game. While you struggle with the UI at the same time you are going to be confronted with another dilemma: "What the heck …15 found this helpful

People upvote it for nostalgia reasons and I believe they genuinely enjoy it, but as someone who just started to play it in this day and age I didn't get into the swing of it.3 found this helpful
