Border Zone

Steel your nerves and don't blow your cover!

Where the Iron Curtain divides East and West, the frontier is a no man's land between freedom and captivity, a place where moments lost or precautions not taken exact a toll in men's lives. You must cross this barrier not once, but three times, as three different characters in a fast-paced story of international intrigue. You race against the clock to complete your missions as you find yourself caught up in a spine-tingling adventure that's far more suspenseful than any spy thriller you've ever read.

Just outside the Iron Curtain, plans are afoot to destabalize the key neutral territory of Litzenburg by assassinating the American ambassador in the peaceful town of Ostnitz. Speeding towards the border through the Eastern bloc country of Frobnia are an easy-going American businessman, an ambitious American spy and a ruthless KGB agent. You'll play all three characters as each soon becomes entangled in the assassination plot. Can you complete their perilous assignments and save the ambassador in time?

Steel your nerves, and don't blow your cover, friend. You've a long way to go before you come in from the cold.
