Troubleshooter is a mission-oriented action simulation with no huge plot - just get in and get out of each mission.

You shoot it out with terrorists wielding enough firepower to take on a third world army. You crawl through air ducts and sewers hoping you don't attract the attention of the bad guys with all the guns. You try to talk a madman into surrendering before he blows himself and his hostages to kingdom come. You scope out the situation, checking maps and photos, walking around the site, probing for the best way in, the way that will put the fewest innocent people at risk. Some radical group takes a millionaire's daughter hostage? You get the call to go in and get her out. Hijackers threaten to take over a plane? You end up on board. When the government or the police or business can't handle a problem, they call on you. You're an ex-cop turned "security specialist." That just means you get all the dirty jobs no one else has the guts to do. The concepts of this game started making their way into Looking Glass' MMO, Junction Point. Deus Ex is a game I've been thinking about since right around the time UNDERWORLD 2 shipped.īy 1994 it was named as 'Troubleshooter' and proposed to Origin as a concept, where Spector worked at the time.
