Top Secret/S.I. - An Espionage Role Playing Game Player's Guide Boxed Set
 |
 |
In 1987¸ TSR introduced their complete make-over to their medium-popular Top Secret game. The rules set of SI is different¸ more realistic. (An example of a flaw in the old rules: Guns inflicted damage based entirely on the caliber¸ bigger bore doing more damage. A 9mm pistol would cause more serious wounds than the 5.56mm round from an M-16! I was an impressionable youngster at the time... that rule had me messed-up for years!) I would venture that this version became the most popular of the two games. Its too bad TSR didnt have more luck with non-D&D RPGs. Just about the time that TSR was bought by WOC¸ they took another try with the Alternity game system.
