Catch 23

In Catch 23, you have eight hours until sunrise to infiltrate a heavily guarded island development complex. Your mission is to steal the blueprints for the CK23, a plane capable of reaching orbit, and place a time-delay detonator in the facility’s nuclear reactor.

After parachuting onto the island, you travel on foot with a gun and explosives. Shuttles connect the villages, where you must search buildings for 17 hidden scientists from the resistance movement. These scientists communicate through computer terminals and can help you disrupt the complex.

The game uses a 3D, first-person perspective that displays building outlines. Movement and other actions can be controlled with a joystick or keyboard.
