Help Identify this story

#1 Post by peterorme »

I remember playing this game, probably on a Commodore 64 back in the days. Possibly with text and still images.

All I remember (accurately or not) was that the story was set in some European city in the alps, there was a cable car I think, and some hotel or something? The one memory that has any level of detail was that early on the phone rang (in a phone booth I think) and a voice said something in an Arnold Schwarzenegger-style accent: "We haff our eye on you. Leaf town or it's curtains!"

I've tried to figure out what game this is, but so far no luck. Does anybody here know?

(This is cross-posted from the intfiction.org forums where people suggested Alpine Encounter and Border Zone, but I'm pretty sure it's neither of them).

Could it be Valkyrie 17? I'm guessing from the phone call that the genre is Spy/secret agent, this search gives sixteen possible C64 games of that genre (of course there is likely to be many more, it's just that many games have yet to be tagged), do any of those titles ring a bell?

It's definitely Valkyrie 17. I playtested the remake extensively so I have a fairly good recollection of the game :)
