B.A.T.

Computer's Dream, 1990


This cyber-punk thriller casts you in the role of a secret agent for the clandestine 22nd Century organization B.A.T. As a B.A.T. operative you must infiltrate the underworld of crime and corruption using many nifty spy-gadgets, including B.O.B., an organic computer that has been implanted in your arm. While this game is quite enjoyable, the fun is marred by an annoying interface and a somewhat confusing plot.

Additionally, some role-playing elements, such as the need to monitor stats and health levels, also detracts from the overall game enjoyment. If you can overlook these flaws, however, you will greatly enjoy this unique and underrated game.
