TSR's take on Bond and the super spy genre. The box set includes a 68 page rule book outlining character creation, equipment, and combat and a 32 page introductory module entitled "Operation: Sprechenhaltestelle - Code Name: Pisces" along with 2 20-sided dice.
Character creation consists of 6 primary stats (Physical Strength, Charm, Willpower, Courage, Knowledge, and Coordination) and 8 derived stats (Offense, Deception, Evasion, Deactivation, Life level, Movement Value, Hand-to-Hand Combat Value, and Surprise Value). Characters are further detailed with skills in specific knowledge areas.
Combat resolution is handled by dice and modified by situations. The rules include specific handling for boxing, knife fighting, and martial arts as well as hit location and effects.
Top Secret is your passport to the exciting world of
international espionage and intrigue. All the danger, glamour, and
adventure of a secret agent's life await you as today's headlines or the
more exotic spy settings of movies or television provide the backdrop
for every mission.
Top Secret is a role playing game where
players assume the roles of various undercover agents, carrying out the
missions assigned by the Administrator of their agency or organization
(the gamemaster). The rewards can be great, but every mission is fraught
with risk and peril, for the life of a spy is a dangerous one!
